Description

Rarely available, this expansive 2-story home with a full finished basement and a concrete side driveway is a true gem in Garfield Ridge! Developed with a major second-story and family room addition in 2007, and stunningly remodeled in 2025, this home offers the best of timeless construction and modern luxury. Step inside to soaring 9- and 10-foot ceilings on main floor, raised ceilings upstairs, rich hardwood floors across both the main and second levels, and a bright, open floor plan. The gorgeous 2025 custom kitchen features a massive island, elegant white cabinetry, and new high-end appliances, seamlessly flowing into the dining area and oversized family room. From there, step out to a covered back porch complete with a beautiful outdoor wood fireplace (built Fall 2024) - perfect for year-round enjoyment. Upstairs, you'll find a luxurious master suite with a spa-like bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, a soaking tub, double vanity, and heated floors. A second upstairs bathroom boasts a custom walk-in shower and vanity, plus a conveniently located upstairs laundry closet with a new stackable washer and dryer. The finished basement is equally impressive, offering a wet bar, a large recreation room, a 2021 full bath, a 2023 custom laundry area, and a dedicated canning room - ideal for hobbies or extra storage. An additional bedroom in the basement and a main-level office provide versatility for today's lifestyle. Other features include Pella custom windows/doors, solid wood interior doors, statement staircase & banisters, tall baseboards and trim, 2025 designer lighting throughout, fresh 2025 paint, two separate heating and cooling systems, and a 2007-built garage. The fully fenced backyard even includes an additional parking space accessible from the alley! Every update was done for the owners' personal enjoyment - no corners cut, no flip job - just true pride of ownership throughout. All types of financing welcome! If you're looking for a huge, high-quality home in a fantastic Garfield Ridge location, this one checks all the boxes.
