Across the street from beautiful Erwin Lake Park and just a couple blocks from adventurous hiking trails, this versatile 2-story home offers comfort and charm in a semi-rural setting. This neighborhood has very few STR properties, and is very quiet, year-round. A view to the south renders Sugarloaf Mountain, and Bear Mountain ski summit can be seen to the southwest.~~Step inside to a warm layout with high ceilings throughout, including granite countertops in the kitchen and both downstairs bathrooms, black appliances, and a washer and dryer. The dining room opens to a small-but-cozy back deck for BBQs and lifting a few cold ones.~~~The front yard is landscaped and includes an apple, pear, and cherry tree offering both beauty and seasonal fruit harvests. The south-facing front porch and driveway ensure great sunlight year-round, especially helpful in winter months to help melt the snow and ice.~~~A large driveway provides plenty of parking, and the finished 2-car garage is loaded with shelving for storage or workshop use. The fully fenced, low maintenance, front and back yards offer security for pets, kids, or garden projects.~~~rnrnThere is a heated and finished 220sf (approx.) Guest area, with a full bath and carpeting, above the garage—convenient for guests, hobby room, game room, extra bedroom, or an office. Since this Guest area is accessible via its own exterior staircase in the rear of the house, its size is not included in the overall square footage of the house… truly a “Bonus room”. ~~~ And don’t miss the “3rd floor” semi-finished attic/hobby/storage room- this storage area has its own internal staircase up from bedroom #3, but this area is not included in the square footage of the home. Currently used as a hobby alcove with windows on each end for ventilation, a ceiling light. Full disclosure: seller is the listing agent. ~~~If you’re looking for a full-time home, part-time getaway, or investment property, this is the one.
