This lives like two houses in one, thoughtfully designed with three bedrooms and two bathrooms downstairs and three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper level. The flexible floor plan can function as one expansive residence or be easily separated into two living spaces. With its own private entrance, the top portion is ideal for an ADU, rental opportunity, guest quarters, mother-in-law suite, or extended family, giving you the opportunity to generate rental income and offset your mortgage while maintaining privacy for everyone. This home has its own central A/C unit on EACH FLOOR and its own heating unit on EACH FLOOR, perfect for multi-family living. There is a washer and dryer hookup upstairs and one that can be easily transformed downstairs. Completely reimagined from top to bottom with no expense spared, this home has been extensively remodeled and is completely turnkey within the last few years. Major upgrades include new re-lined sewer lines, new turf, a new wood fence, new wide-plank luxury flooring, a designer kitchen with quartz countertops, beautifully renovated bathrooms, fresh paint, new lighting, and a stunning 2-sided color-changing vapor fireplace, offering the peace of mind of modern systems paired with timeless style. Throughout the home, you'll find warm mid-century modern influences, thoughtfully selected finishes, and inviting spaces filled with natural light. This home also has solar, skylights, vaulted ceilings, 2 primary bedrooms (one on each floor), a smart refrigerator with the internet, and an extra-wide driveway perfect for a camper. The outdoor living is every bit as impressive as the interior. A beautifully landscaped front fenced-in courtyard with lush turf and charming brick accents creates an inviting first impression, while an expansive deck in the back and a fully fenced-in backyard showcase beautiful hill and sunset views—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Also FHA and VA approved!!! The oversized backyard also features a sprawling turf lawn, a pergola, and incredible privacy, while the elevated rear living area offers a peaceful treehouse-like setting nestled among the trees.
