Property Description
This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2.1-bath home sits on a generous half-acre lot in the beloved Northwood Acres neighborhood, where tree-lined streets, top-rated schools, and a true sense of community make every day feel like home. With a layout that simply works, soaring vaulted ceilings, and fresh updates throughout, this is the one you've been waiting for. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the care that has gone into every detail. Freshly painted in today's most popular neutral tones, brand-new carpeting underfoot, radiant heat flooring, and stunning new quartz countertops in the kitchen give the home a move-in ready feel that is anything but cookie-cutter. The vaulted ceilings create an open, airy atmosphere, and the floor plan flows effortlessly for both everyday living and entertaining. The major mechanicals are already done for you - Ecobee thermostat, new furnace and A/C (2019), a brand-new roof (2025), and freshly repainted siding (2025) mean you can move in with total peace of mind. A newer deck off the back of the home overlooks the spacious half-acre lot, perfect for summer gatherings, morning coffee, or simply enjoying the privacy that larger lots provide. The unfinished English basement with impressive 9-foot ceilings is a blank canvas ready for your vision - a rec room, home gym, media room, or additional living space awaits. The possibilities are wide open. And the location? Truly special. Walkable to all community schools and just steps from Sunburst Bay, this home puts everything within easy reach - swimming, parks, and the kind of neighborhood where kids ride bikes and neighbors become lifelong friends.
