Experience a tranquil lifestyle in this charming ranch-style home nestled on a peaceful cul-de-sac in the highly-desirable Ashley Heights community. With limited access into the neighborhood, traffic is minimal, adding to the serenity. A hidden gem, this property is unique not only in its position but in its layout and size as well, boasting over 2.55 acres of privacy and space to explore. The main level of the residence measures approximately 1780 square feet and features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Hardwood floors sweep across the common areas, while cozy carpeting provides warmth and comfort in the bedrooms. The home’s original galley kitchen was revamped seven years ago into an expansive, open-concept space including a family room and dining room. The modern kitchen now features a sizeable island, perfect for casual dinner or homework supervision, while the expansive picture window above the sink presents a beautiful view of the lush backyard. Descending to the generous 305 square feet of finished basement living area reveals an inviting recreation room and a third bathroom with attractive tile flooring. The incomplete side of the basement offers a wealth of potential, with framing already in place for a fourth bedroom, additional recreation or bar area, and multiple storage spaces. The outdoor aspects are equally enticing. The secluded main-level deck, updated less than half a decade ago, offers swoon-worthy views of the wooded area behind the property. From this optimal vantage point, homeowners can observe nature's visitors such as deer and listen to the calming hoot of owls. A charming outbuilding serving as a children’s playhouse adds a hint of whimsy to the backyard. The creature comforts of the home are contemporary and efficient. The kitchen appliances, such as a new LG refrigerator, a Bosch dishwasher, a gas range, and a double oven, are high-quality. The HVAC system was replaced a year ago for optimal climate control, and a Rinnai tankless water heater ensures a limitless hot water supply. City water, sewer, and garbage services are all included for convenience, and the freshly painted rooms add to the overall refreshing vibe of this delightful home. Live the dream life in this attractive dwelling, surrounded by nature's splendor, while enjoying modern convenience and comfort.
