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.~~~There is a heated and finished 220sf (approx.) room, with full bath, above the garage—convenient for guests, hobby room, game room, extra bedroom, or an office- accessible via its own exterior staircase in the rear of the house. This 220sf (approx.) room and bath is included in the overall size of the house.~~~If you're looking for a full-time home, part-time getaway, or investment property, this is the one. And don’t miss the “3rd floor” attic/hobby room- this room and internal viewing loft are 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, and non-compliant stairs from bedroom #3. Full disclosure: seller is the listing agent.
