    Finished lower levelDedicated furnaceStylish backsplashBreathtaking sunset viewsGranite countertopsTile flooringUpgraded appliances
    Welcome home to this spacious property in the Fairmeadows neighborhood, just one block from the elementary school! Offering 4 bedrooms plus a non-conforming 5th bedroom in the finished lower level, this home provides flexible space for families, guests, or a home office. One of the standout features is the 24'x30' heated detached garage/shop, offering room for 3-4 vehicles, hobbies, storage, or a workshop. The property also features two driveways and includes 30-amp and 50-amp RV hookups with sewer, water, and electric conveniently located right in the driveway. Inside, the oversized main-floor primary suite is large enough for a cozy sitting area. The kitchen is packed with beautiful cabinetry, granite countertops, tile flooring, a stylish backsplash, and upgraded appliances, with plenty of room to add a center island. Sliding doors lead to the deck making outdoor entertaining easy. A second entrance offers endless possibilities - it currently serves as a mudroom but could easily become a walk-in pantry or a first-floor laundry room. Upstairs you'll find 3 additional bedrooms and a 3/4 bathroom, along with a dedicated furnace for added comfort. One of the bedrooms features access to the double-deck balcony, where you can relax and enjoy breathtaking sunset views. The finished lower level includes a family room, a non-conforming bedroom or office, and a half-bath. Additional features include a Nest thermostat, plus newer roof and siding on both the house and detached garage.
