Welcome to your dream home! This beautifully updated, 3 bedroom 2.5 bath, north facing home is located in the highly sought-after Stevenson High School District. From the moment you step inside, you'll be impressed by the versatile floor plan that offers the perfect flow between the living room, currently used as a music space with removable stage and sound proofing, dining room, and updated kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry, granite counters, undermount LED lighting, high-end appliances, and a bay window with seating.  The family room boasts a vaulted ceiling with a skylight that opens by remote and accent lighting, custom bar, gas fireplace, and sliders to a fabulous sunroom with heated stone floors and gas hookup for year-round grilling. You'll love the solid oak flooring on the main level, upgraded doors throughout, built-in speakers, and so much more. The custom banister leading to the second floor was artistically created with copper railings, and the upper level includes the primary suite, with a sliding door leading to a balcony, two closets, and a stunning bath with heated flooring and expanded steam shower.  Two more generous bedrooms and an updated guest bath with a deep linen closet adorn the upper floor. This stunning property also boasts a beautifully finished basement that offers a spacious rec room, large walk-in storage closet, and a versatile office/playroom that's perfect for all your needs. The 2-car, insulated and heated garage includes a dream work station, insulated garage door, and side-mounted Lift Master opener.

The expanded deck is the ultimate outdoor oasis, complete with a new 6-person hot tub, an electronic awning that covers the table area, a serene garden with a soothing water feature, and a fully fenced side yard that's perfect for a vegetable garden or a game of basketball. As if that weren't enough, this amazing home backs onto open space that connects to the walking path leading to Prairie School and the wonderful Green Lake Park. With so many updates and thoughtful touches throughout, this is the one you've been  waiting for. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this incredible home yours!
