Tucked away on a welcoming cul-de-sac, this beautifully updated home offers comfort, space, and privacy. Enjoy the covered front porch with bonus storage below, perfect for seasonal items. The main level features three bedrooms and a remodeled full bath with a sleek walk-in shower, plus a primary suite with its own convenient half bath. The open, updated kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, where a slider leads to an oversized covered deck—ideal for entertaining or relaxing while overlooking the private, fully fenced backyard. The lower level adds flexibility with a full bath and spacious rec room or optional fourth bedroom, along with access to a second covered deck. Cozy fireplaces on both levels enhance year-round living. All appliances are included, and the garage offers abundant storage shelving. Abundant off-street parking provide added convenience. Backing to a peaceful greenbelt, this home delivers privacy while being just minutes from shopping, dining, Costco, and Home Depot.
