Property Description

Welcome to the house where childhood actually happens. You know the kind: bikes in the driveway, pancake Saturdays, muddy dogs, epic sleepovers, and kids who somehow always have 14 friends over. This is that house. With five bedrooms and three baths, a gourmet kitchen, a huge fenced yard with the greenest lawn, and enough bonus spaces to keep every age entertained, this home was practically designed for memory-making. Third Fork Creek Trail is just a block away, so get ready for scooter adventures, family bike rides for tacos, ice cream, or coffee, and ''let's burn off some energy before bedtime'' missions! Inside, the home balances stylish upgrades with real-life functionality. The high-end kitchen anchors the main living space, while a cozy living room centered around a gas fireplace for family movie nights and a beautiful screened porch are both immediately adjacent. The downstairs primary bedroom has a luxurious bathroom with large his-and-her closets. There is a full laundry room with plenty of utility space, because family life comes with approximately 7,000 loads of laundry... And then there's the fun - One upstairs bedroom features a whimsical playhouse hideaway, while another includes an epic secret ball-pit playspace with a climbing wall! The finished walk-in attic creates even more room for play, hobbies, exercise, or teen hangouts. Outside this property really shines. The fenced backyard has been extensively landscaped to create a seamless, flat play space right off the deck -- ideal for soccer games, sprinkler runs, birthday parties, and exhausted parents watching from the screened porch. There's even a dedicated playground and swingset area. The huge garage is a dream setup: workshop space, golf simulator studio, extensive storage shelving, garage sink, and EV charger. The expanded driveway easily handles basketball games, extra cars (teenage drivers!), and all the bikes and scooters that come with family living. Other thoughtful upgrades include: additional water heater installed in 2022, providing endless hot water for the whole house; an irrigation system that ensures the grass stays healthy all summer long; bike shed and garden shed; pull-down movie screen for outdoor movie nights on the porch; and raised planter boxes for aspiring gardeners. All that's missing is the next owners to fill it with laughter, chaos, and maybe a few Nerf darts in the couch cushions.
