Property Description

Welcome to this warm and inviting 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath raised cottage-style home nestled in the heart of the beloved Southdowns subdivision. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, this home features a brand-new roof, HVAC system, tankless water heater, custom kitchen and baths, updated flooring, plumbing, Quartz countertops throughout, and the list goes on. Inside, you’ll love the easy, low-maintenance Pergo EverCraft high-performance hybrid resilient plank flooring and ceramic tile throughout—no carpet to worry about. The cozy living area features a modern gas fireplace, making it the perfect spot for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. The kitchen comes complete with custom soft-close cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, a spacious island for casual meals or homework time, and a beautiful glass tile backsplash. You will also love the custom dining room bar featuring a wine fridge and a stunning chandelier that makes a true statement piece. The extra-large primary suite provides a relaxing retreat with a spa-like ensuite bath, including a separate soaking tub, large custom tile shower with a lighted niche and bench seating, and double vanities with makeup lighting built into the mirrors. The half-story upstairs has its own guest suite with a full bath. Please note that approximately 219 sq. ft. outside of the bedroom is not included in the living square footage upstairs due to lower ceiling height but still provides valuable functional space, including a full bathroom, closet, and sitting area. A separate mother-in-law suite, which is attached yet offers a private entrance, provides flexibility for extended family, guests, or potential rental income and accounts for one of the bedrooms and bathrooms. Enjoy slow mornings on the large front porch or spend evenings together on the oversized rear covered carport. The backyard features a swing, fire pit, and ample yard space. This home truly blends comfort, style, and family-friendly living.
