About This Home
If you've been looking for the quality of a new build but love the charm of a mature neighborhood with established trees, this is the one you've been waiting for. This home has been meticulously renovated from the roof down to the floorboards, offering over 2,750 square feet of finished living space where every detail has been handled with care. It truly feels better than new construction, blending modern luxury with the character of an established community. The main level welcomes you with beautiful, brand-new yellow birch hardwood floors that lead into a kitchen designed for real life. You'll find bright white cabinetry with soft-close drawers, elegant granite countertops, and stainless appliances. One of the best views in the house is right from the undermount sink, which sits under two large corner windows overlooking the yard. Just off the kitchen, double glass doors open to a brick paver patio, perfect for a quiet morning coffee. For those who work from home, the main floor features a dedicated office with built-in cabinetry, plus a nice laundry and mudroom area. The living room is anchored by a cozy new gas fireplace, while the spacious dining room opens onto a massive back deck with new railings. It's an ideal setup for summer BBQs and hosting the whole family. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with a private, updated ¾ bath and a walk-in closet that features its own window for natural light. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully renovated full bath featuring a tiled surround and modern finishes. The finished lower level adds a significant amount of quality living space, including a large family room and a versatile den that could easily serve as a second home office. Guests will feel right at home in the fourth bedroom, which features a walk-in closet and access to a luxurious ¾ bath with a tiled walk-in shower and granite-topped vanity. This home is as solid as it is beautiful, featuring a new roof, siding, and gutters for long-term peace of mind. All lighting, ceiling fans, interior doors, and trim are brand new, and the windows have been fully updated. The large attached garage offers plenty of room for vehicles and storage with its new overhead door. The location couldn't be better for enjoying the best of the community. You're only about two miles from the energy of Jack Trice Stadium and the beauty of Reiman Gardens, with quick access to Highway 30 for an easy commute. The backyard is fully fenced and ready for privacy, pets or gardening, making this a rare find where all the hard work is already done. Schedule your showing today and come see the craftsmanship for yourself.
