    This sweet home on the west side of Alta might be just what you are looking for. Enjoy a large living room that is flooded with natural light from a south facing bay window. This room includes a nook perfect for your computer workstation. The kitchen is a chef's dream with abundant cabinetry, center island, eating space and a sliding glass door to a deck. The main floor bedroom connects directly to the remodeled bathroom. And tucked between the home and the attached garage is a room perfect for hobbies, shop space or a home gym. It includes double doors to the backyard so it can be used for lawnmower or snowblower storage as well. The entrance to the lower level is at the front foyer so this space could be perfect for guests or a roommate situation. On this level there is a small living space, a non-conforming bedroom, laundry, and a 3/4 bath. You will enjoy plenty of headroom down here as the house was previously lifted and a new basement was installed. All of the appliances are included in the sale for your convenience. Outdoors you will enjoy a small but private yard with a lovely patio space and landscaping. There is also a small fenced in area prefect for a garden or dog run and a storage shed too. And finally, the seller is willing to pay up to 3% closing costs with a full price offer! This would be a great home for anyone needing a move-in ready space without all the pressure that comes from a larger home.
