About This Home

As of January 2023

Welcome home to 494 Universe Drive! Freshly updated throughout, you'll swear you've stepped inside a brand new house! Step inside the warm and welcoming foyer and up the stairs to the main living level. The flowing and open floor plan has a large and sunny living room, kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, and attached dining area. Down the hallway, you'll find the Primary Bedroom Suite with private bathroom and convenient laundry shoot. Two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom finish off this floor. The basement is partially finished with a family room that could easily be a 4th bedroom. There is plenty of storage as well as easy access to the garage which makes warming your car up on a cold winter day a breeze. A huge water heater will ensure that no one has to ever rush through their shower. The roof as well as heat pump are recently updated as well. Outside, the fantastic deck is an ideal spot for entertaining family and friends on a warm summer evening or relaxing with a book after a long week. On almost 1/2 an acre, the lot backs to trees and is one of (if not the) largest lots in the development. Situated in the established Community of Widlflower Ridge, you'll love being close to commuter routes as well as shopping, schools, restaurants and much more! Schedule your showing today before this one slips through your fingers!
