Tucked away on nearly 2 acres, this unique one-owner home offers 2,800+ sq ft of living space and endless potential. With 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a fully finished walkout lower level, this property is a rare find. Set in a serene, unrestricted setting, the home provides a peaceful retreat while being conveniently located with easy access to the metro, shopping, parks, and trails. The lot stretches 640 feet to the creek, offering space for outdoor activities or future projects, with no restrictions on outbuildings, horses, or more. Recent updates include new AC units (2), a new boiler (valued at $24k) installed in 2024, and a newer roof. The exterior combines brick and metal siding for durability, while a charming covered front porch invites you inside. The expansive back patio with an outdoor stove is perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. The spacious kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry and counter space. Two separate living areas on the main level include custom built-in storage and a cozy gas fireplace. A mudroom off the garage adds convenience, and large windows bring in natural light. The oversized two-stall garage provides room for vehicles, with space to build a detached garage or workshop. The meticulously landscaped yard adds beauty and privacy, making this home an excellent value. Contact us today to schedule a private tour.
