Property Description
Completely Renovated in 2026! This versatile 6-bedroom, 2-bath home offers an incredibly flexible layout with two separate living levels, each featuring 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, family room and kitchen. While not a legal duplex, the setup is ideal for an in-law arrangement, multi-generational living, a family with adult children, or anyone looking for additional space and privacy under one roof. Fully renovated from top to bottom, the home features brand-new cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms, new carpentry and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Large windows fill both levels with natural light, while the English lower level adds warmth and character with a wood-burning fireplace. The additional bedrooms can easily be transformed into a home gym, theater room, office, playroom or abundant storage. Outside, enjoy a deck and spacious backyard perfect for entertaining, relaxing or gathering with family and friends. A brand-new concrete driveway provides plenty of parking. Ideally located near shopping, schools, Bangs Lake, and scenic nature trails, this move-in-ready home combines modern updates with exceptional flexibility and convenience. There is private beach and swimming access at Bangs Lake plus free boat mooring while kayak, canoe & stand up paddle board storage is available for a small charge.
