Open the front door and you walk into the light and bright great room with space for living, dining and cooking in the sizable open kitchen with updated cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar. While the great room offers communal space, the split floor plan allows for each person to have their own private space. Each spacious bedroom has a large closet, a ceiling fan and can easily fit a full-sized bed, a desk and a chest of drawers (please reference the floorplan for size of each bedroom--you won't be disappointed!). The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and its own bathroom with jetted soaking tub. Bedrooms 2 and 3, tucked down a private wide hallway, share Bathroom 2 that enjoys a walk-in shower. Bedrooms 4 and 5 share Bathroom 3 that boasts a tub shower. All bathrooms are tastefully updated and have vanities for storage. There is an oversized interior laundry closet with new GE commercial grade washer and dryer and extra storage conveniently located in the main hallway. In addition to the interior communal and private spaces, the charming backyard oasis provides room to unwind, entertain or to simply soak up the peaceful space. The best part? It's intentionally scaped to be low maintenance! Put your U of A student in one bedroom and rent out the other four. Strong rental income can cover the mortgage, utilities, and a big portion of your student's housing expenses--making this a fabulous investment that hedges your college costs for years to come. Hurry, don't miss this rare opportunity because this property will not last long!
