Lot Description Step into the impressive foyer and immediately feel at home in the sun-filled living room featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, custom built-in shelving, and an abundance of Amish-crafted cabinetry. The stunning gas fireplace with marble surround serves as the centerpiece of the room, creating a warm, inviting gathering space with room for any size furnishings. The spacious kitchen with eat-in dining area boasts luxury vinyl plank floors, extensive counter space, and exceptional functionality for everyday living and entertaining alike. An oversized pantry with pocket door has adjustable shelving that easily accommodates any size countertop appliance and extra storage, keeping the kitchen beautifully organized. Just off the kitchen, the bright and versatile sunroom offers endless possibilities - perfect as a home office, reading nook, playroom or peaceful retreat with direct access to the deck and the serene private backyard. The thoughtfully designed main floor also includes a large laundry room with 2 roll-out laundry bins, wall-to-wall hanging rods and dedicated storage space. The primary suite is privately situated away from the main living area and features a jetted tub and a walk-in closet. The main level also includes two additional generously sized bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The expansive lower level offers incredible flexibility with a massive open living area ideal for a media room, home gym, recreation space, or children's activity area. A fourth bedroom and full bath provide the perfect setup for guests or multi-generational living. An additional finished room is ideal for another home office, hobby or craft space. The lower level is also plumbed for hot and cold-water hookups, allowing for the future addition of a wet bar or 2nd kitchen. An additional 1300 square feet of unfinished space includes 35 linear feet of built-in shelving and a generously large open area for unlimited future expansion. Outside, the meticulously maintained landscaping creates a low-maintenance private oasis. The backyard includes an 18x18 fenced-in vegetable and flower garden with raised beds designed to keep wildlife out while providing ample gardening space. Beyond the garden, the landscape transitions naturally into an area with beautiful tall grasses, wildflowers, flowering trees, and native spruce and fir with mowed walking paths. This area provides incredible views year-round. Located within walking distance to downtown dining, shopping, and the popular 400 block, Franklin Heights combines neighborhood charm and everyday convenience.
