Nestled on a picturesque street beneath a canopy of trees, this beautifully remodeled cape cod in the established Meadowthorpe neighborhood offers timeless charm with modern updates. The open concept layout creates an inviting flow perfect for both daily living and entertaining. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, featuring an oversized island with incredible storage, ceiling-height cabinetry, herringbone tile backsplash, and updated appliances — a dream space for cooks and entertainers alike. The main level includes a cozy living room with fireplace, a stylish dining room accented with board and batten trim, and a bedroom ideal for guests or flexible use. A large family room sits just off the kitchen and provides an amazing bonus living space, including a built-in bar. Beautifully refinished hardwoods throughout. Upstairs, you'll find four comfortable bedrooms, offering plenty of space for family and guests. Each level includes an updated full bathroom. New windows bring in natural light while enhancing energy efficiency. A glass sunroom on the back of the home offers a peaceful retreat with views of the backyard. Continue outside to enjoy your private oasis with a deck for dining al fresco and a yard shaded by mature trees. The detached two-car garage provides flexibility for storage, a workshop, a man cave, or a combination of all three. The large unfinished basement includes almost 1,000 square feet of additional storage or living space. Located near the exciting new Turner Commons development and just minutes from the Distillery District, Gatton Park, and downtown, plus an easy stroll to Meadowthorpe Park. This home blends location, comfort, and style in one perfect package. Don't miss your chance to own this one-of-a-kind property in a truly special neighborhood! Owner/agent.
