About This Home

As of May 2023

This home is the epitome of elegance and style, with an exceptional curb appeal that is truly picture-perfect. Nestled on a .64-acre lot within a wooded cul-de-sac, this property showcases a serene and private setting. As soon as you step inside the front door, you'll be captivated and taken aback by its charm and character. The sellers' pride of ownership is evident in this meticulously maintained home, which showcases their love and care through stunning updates and upgrades. These include an interior painted in today's most desirable color palette, new sump pump (2020), a new water heater (2017), an impressive kitchen, laundry room and half bath remodel all in 2015, stunning Oak hardwood floors throughout the main level (refinished in 2015), and the remodeling of the main bathroom, main closet, and second full bath - all completed in 2020. The two-story foyer is welcoming and features a formal living room and a spacious dining room with custom molding, both perfect for hosting gatherings. Next, the kitchen is where the chef of the home will love creating new recipes and memories; showcasing beautiful granite counters - great for meal prep, a myriad of 42" custom cabinets with crowned uppers ensuring you have all the storage you need (check out the wall of cabinets down the hall), and high-end stainless steel appliances including a Viking range, KitchenAid double oven, LG refrigerator, and a brand new Bosch dishwasher. The center island with its breakfast bar seating and the sunny breakfast area featuring a custom built-in storage bench are both perfect spots to sit down for a quick meal, enjoy your morning coffee, or have the kids work on their homework. When it comes to summer BBQs, the expansive deck (newly built in 2020) just outside the slider makes it easy to grill and dine alfresco. The lush landscaping and mature trees provide a sense of privacy, making this outdoor space an ideal entertaining spot for hosting family and friends. After a long day, head back inside and relax in the cozy family room by lighting a fire. The main level of the home also features a convenient half bath and an extra-long laundry/mudroom with custom cubicles and storage, providing ample space for storing belongings and making coming and going a breeze. At the end of the day, head upstairs to the main bedroom and unwind in the luxurious retreat. This room boasts a cathedral ceiling with recessed lighting, a vast walk-in closet with custom shelving (WOW check out that organization), and a breathtaking, remodeled spa-like bathroom. The bathroom is a true oasis, featuring a dual sink vanity, mother-of-pearl tile, a Jacuzzi soaker tub, a heated towel rack (so nice after a warm bath), and a separate marble and mother-of-pearl shower with a rain shower head and a full body handheld sprayer; pure luxury and is the ideal space for relaxation and rejuvenation. Three exceptionally spacious bedrooms and a full bath with dual sink vanity complete the second level, ensuring that everyone has a comfortable and stylish place to call their own. The finished basement, completed to perfection in 2010, offers even more living space, with a large rec room with a wet bar, a full bath, and a versatile bonus room that can be used as a bedroom, craft/hobby room, or a home gym - the possibilities are endless. Huge walk-in storage room. With loads of storage and a 2-car garage, this home truly has it all. Don't forget the electric dog fence - let your pets roam worry free! Award winning Stevenson school district. Don't miss out on this opportunity to make this your dream home!
