This home has so much to offer! Starting with the lovely curb appeal, elevated from the street, as you walk into the front door you're met with a charming front sitting room that gives you all the right feels.
Following through to what could be the dining room (currently piano room) & then onto the large kitchen with stunning natural light, counter & storage space, this flows onto the rear family room that is so cozy, perfect for curling up in front of the tv & with double french doors out to the delightful private fully fenced rear yard that is blooming at its best at the moment.
The pergola & patio areas make this space "best in class" for SLP.
2 bedrooms on the main level with the light & bright primary on the upper with walk in closet space that will not disappoint.
The lower level with family room, 1/2 bath, hobby space, workshop & laundry with direct entry from the garage makes this home a winner from every possible angle.
WHAT THE SELLERS SAY....
Our home: We have loved living here, we really wanted fabulous indoor/outdoor living space and with the private den that opens up up to the patio/gazebo tucked into a hillside garden, the home really is awesome for that. Organically-shaped retaining walls frame bee-friendly, low-maintenance perennial gardens in back and front, while the hillside lot adds interest and privacy.
Our favorite late summer evenings are spent watching a movie in the den while hearing gentle rain or crickets through the open French doors.
The upstairs primary bedroom feels like a sanctuary, with bright natural light and fantastic breeze on summer nights. The whole home is flooded with natural light, with a particularly bright kitchen and large picture windows in all common spaces on the main floor.
A workshop and craft space in the basement have been in constant use.
Hwy 7 noise is nonexistent indoors since replacing all above-ground doors and windows, which has also made the home very cozy and efficient in both summer and winter.
