Set on a beautiful corner lot with mature trees, eye-catching landscaping and an automated sprinkler system that enhance curb appeal, this stately home is one of Cortez's premier homes. Step inside to discover a warm and inviting interior, featuring beautiful hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace (currently not in use, but is in working order) in a spacious living room, great for entertaining. The wonderful kitchen has been updated with Corian counters, lovely cabinetry, updated fixtures, new appliances (including a great gas stove top/range), tile flooring & pristine tile backsplash with great accent touches. Beautiful windows throughout let in natural lighting. The dining room flows right off the kitchen and leads to the Trex deck, which wraps around to the main level primary bedroom featuring new French sliding doors and overlooks the backyard. The main level hosts another bedroom with a gorgeous tin molded ceiling, and a bathroom with tub and shower. There is also a mud room/laundry room off the kitchen for added convenience, along with a basement that houses the water heater and added space for storage or perhaps a workout room. Venture upstairs to find two more bedrooms, one with an onsuite bathroom, both with ceiling fans and plenty of closet/storage space. There is a bonus office/playroom upstairs that can be tailored to your lifestyle needs, and hallway shelves as well. The fully fenced backyard provides a beautiful, private retreat, while the detached garage offers extra storage and convenience.
