Property Description
At 5217 Catalpha Rd in Lauraville, everything that typically scares buyers off has already been handled. The roof, HVAC, water heater, appliances, flooring...done. Not someday. Not "estimate needed." Done within the last 3 years. You can feel the difference the moment you walk in. The main level lives easy and open, with a layout that actually works. Kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together, anchored by a sleek electric fireplace that brings just the right amount of warmth and style. Two bedrooms and a full bath on this level give you true one-level living if you want it. Upstairs, you get what most Cape Cods can't offer, space you can actually use. Full ceiling height, a private full bath, and built-ins that make the room both functional and full of character. It's the perfect fourth bedroom, guest suite, or tucked-away retreat. The finished basement adds even more flexibility with a third bedroom, full bath, and bonus living space, ideal for guests, work, or whatever life throws your way next. Step outside and it keeps getting better. Covered back porch, fully fenced yard, and a private parking pad out back. It's set up for real living, morning coffee, weekend hangouts, and everything in between. This home hits that rare balance: updated, functional, and full of personality, all in one of Lauraville's most loved pockets. If you've been waiting for something that feels right the second you walk in... this is it. (This home is potentially a short sale with the final sale price being the determining factor. The short sale process, if needed, will be handled by an experienced short sale team.)
