This home features 12' ceilings, maple hardwood floors, and large south-facing picture windows to take in the view and abundant natural light - if you wish to sleep in, blackout blinds in the bedrooms are sure to block the morning sun.

The expansive deck is perfect for entertaining, or just enjoying the view. Outfitted with eco-safe rubber playground tiles and AstroTurf, the backyard and deck are kid- and animal-friendly. A large 10 x 13 ft automated retractable awning provides shade when desired. The spacious kitchen offers a commercial gas range, granite counters, newer stainless-steel appliances, and an abundance of cabinets! In the attached two-car garage are built-in storage cabinets, one of two laundry hook-ups, central vacuum system, circulation water pump for instant hot water throughout the house, and a 240V outlet. Below the garage is a 285 sq ft bonus area featuring a full bar with sink. A second 140 sq ft bonus storage room with built-in cabinets provides plenty of storage for tools and equipment. This home has been lovingly updated and well maintained. New solar panels installed in Jan 2022 are paid in full. New HVAC & ducting were installed in Dec 2021. Other recent upgrades include: a new silicone roof protection coating, new landscaping, and off-street parking. Don't miss this opportunity to call 5527 Freeman your own and to find all the details of comfort and function in this beautiful home!
