What's special
The kind of backyard you'll never want to leave. The quality updates you won't have to worry about. Welcome to a home that's been thoughtfully refreshed and lovingly maintained, where comfort, privacy, and everyday living come together beautifully. Tucked onto a beautifully landscaped corner lot, the fully fenced backyard is a private retreat surrounded by mature trees. Relax on the spacious deck, enjoy spectacular sunsets, or let pets easily access the dedicated dog run right from the home. As the seasons change and the leaves fall, subtle views of the mountain range emerge from the side deck, adding another special element to this private outdoor retreat.Inside, you'll find a beautifully updated kitchen featuring refreshed cabinetry, quartz countertops, a new sink, updated fixtures and hardware, a new gas cooktop, and a stainless steel refrigerator. Bathrooms and the laundry room have also been tastefully updated, while fresh interior paint, brand-new carpet, updated hardware, and a brand-new furnace make this home truly move-in ready.The flexible floor plan offers four bedrooms, or three bedrooms plus a home office, along with a spacious bonus room and a partially finished 500+ sq. ft. basement ideal for hobbies, fitness, storage, or creative space. Additional improvements include a newer roof (2019), updated front entry and garage doors (2020), a pre-listing inspection with completed repairs, and an oversized three-car garage with EV charging. Lovingly cared for by the same family for many years, this exceptional home is ready to welcome its next chapter.
