For more than 20 years, the same family has called this home — raising a family, making memories, and thoughtfully maintaining and improving it along the way. Now it's ready to welcome a new family and a whole new set of memories. With its impressive condition, location in the SE Polk School District, large privacy-fenced lot and oversized garage, it offers a combination that can be hard to find. Offering over 1,700 sq ft of finished living space, you’ll love the vaulted ceilings, cozy fireplace and open feel of the main level. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a large center island, while the dining area opens directly to the deck and a beautiful backyard beyond. The spacious primary bedroom features dual closets and convenient access to the main bath with dual vanities. The lower level adds even more flexibility, with space that could easily serve as a 4th bedroom, family room, home office or whatever works for you. You?ll also find a second bath and roomy laundry area with great storage. Outside may be one of the best surprises?a large privacy-fenced yard with mature trees backing to green space, plenty of room to play, garden or entertain, and a great deck with storage below overlooking it all. The oversized garage with epoxy floors adds even more function and storage. Clearly well cared for and ready for its next owners to love!
