Property Description

Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath twin rancher, offering the ease of one-floor living with a finished lower level and exceptional storage throughout. Step inside to a bright and inviting living room filled with natural light, featuring a vintage ceiling-to-near-floor wall mirror, recessed lighting, a new picture window (2024), and newly refinished original hardwood flooring (2024) that continues through the dining room and hallway. The dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends or enjoying everyday meals. The kitchen offers an eat-in area with abundant contemporary cabinetry and countertop space, additional lighting fixtures, a stainless-steel refrigerator, a new garbage disposal (2024), dishwasher, and gas oven/cooktop. A bifold door beneath a decorative LED lightbox separates the main living areas from the bedroom wing, providing added privacy and sound reduction. This hallway leads to a double coat/storage closet, a full hall bathroom enhanced by a skylight with a roof vent that fills the space with natural light and fresh air, and a convenient linen closet. The main level also features three comfortable bedrooms, each with its own closet and window providing plenty of natural light. The bedrooms are currently carpeted, with the original hardwood flooring preserved underneath. Proceed to the finished lower level and open the built-in broom cabinet before entering the home's spacious family room, complemented by a bar area, entertainment center, four generous storage closets, and a finished powder room. As you continue toward the rear entrance, you'll find even more storage, including a cedar closet, a new hot water heater (2024), an HVAC system with a new 5-inch air filter box (2025), and a dedicated space for an additional refrigerator or freezer, all conveniently located behind colorful metal bifold doors. Take note of the colorful paneled laundry room, complete with extensive custom cabinetry, storage drawers, a folding area, and a small desk workspace. Accessible from the laundry room is a fitness room or private office (converted garage space), which includes a redwood electric sauna and a separate stall shower. The converted garage also offers multiple storage shelves, while the rear driveway provides convenient off-street parking and includes a dedicated concrete pad that's ideal for adding a large storage shed. This home has been thoughtfully cared for and improved over the years, allowing its next owner to move right in with confidence. Recent exterior enhancements include the application of 887 Tropi-Cool White 100% Silicone Reflective Roof Coating (2024), helping to protect and extend the life of the roof, replaced\installed new architectural shingles and aluminum roof capping (2024) along with brick pointing and concrete sealing. The front entrance was redesigned in 2024 with Azek trim, and a new railing featuring solar light post caps. The front steps built over the original steps to provide a level, step-free entry into the home. The entrance is further enhanced by a new Andersen storm door (2024) with a retractable screen. Outside, the side and rear yard, along with the concrete patio, provide wonderful space for outdoor entertaining, barbecues, gardening, or simply relaxing. Located on a quiet block, this well-cared-for home is conveniently close to shopping, restaurants, public transportation, and everyday amenities, combining comfort, functionality, and flexibility in a desirable setting. Adding to its appeal, the property's layout may offer future conversion potential, as similar homes in the surrounding neighborhood have been adapted into two separate living units. Subject to municipal approvals and applicable zoning requirements, a future owner may wish to explore the possibility of creating an owner-occupied residence with a separate rental unit, providing additional flexibility and long-term investment potential.
