Property Description
Tucked into a quiet, tree-lined setting, this beautifully updated 3-bed, 2-bath home offers the tranquility of a private nature preserve, just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday essentials. Set on an extra-large lot that backs to a green space with a private gate, the property provides rare privacy, lush landscaping, and a strong connection to the outdoors. Enjoy birdsong and butterflies among mature trees including Japanese maple, quince, and apple—both quince and apple trees are fruit-producing. The expansive backyard features raised garden beds, raspberry and blueberry bushes, a large lawn, flagstone patio (2021), and a freshly painted deck (2025). An 8x6 greenhouse with automated venting windows supports year-round gardening. Inside, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and an open floor plan fill the home with natural light. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, an island, tile backsplash, generous storage, and a dining area. Two bedrooms and a full bath with a skylight, double vanity, and oversized tub/shower complete the main level. Downstairs, the private primary suite includes a step-in tiled shower, laundry/utility room, office nook, and backyard access. Plumbing for a kitchenette makes this level perfect as a guest suite, separate living space, or potential rental. The detached garage has been converted into a finished flex space with heat, A/C, new windows/doors, and a 100-amp/240-volt subpanel with a 60-amp 240-volt circuit (previously used for a pottery kiln). Ideal for a creative studio, gym, or workshop. A full-footprint storage room below the garage offers generous bonus space. Major updates in 2022: Hardie Plank siding, exterior paint, roof, gutters, and high-efficiency heat pump. A rare blend of thoughtful upgrades, indoor-outdoor living, and natural beauty - this home is a true urban retreat.
