Consider this lovely bungalow as your next full-time residence or cottage! Ideal in so many ways, starting with the setting that seems so private on a large lot, surrounded by trees and flanked by a wide path that leads directly to Silver Lake! Short cut from the back yard ~ and 180 steps later, you are there! From the covered front porch you enter the open concept living area with a large central kitchen and gleaming granite counter tops right in the middle, yet nicely recessed back. Dining space has a view of the front yard and the living-room overlooks the back yard with the inner beauty of the gas fireplace. Floorplan has been well thought out in this custom built home, as the main floor bathroom provides a second access to the back deck! Bedrooms are all spacious with deep closets. The primary bedroom has its own private 3 piece bathroom with pedestal sink, and a glass shower with travertine wall and floor tiles. Home has birch wood floors throughout, solid interior doors and a glow of natural colors and materials. Entry to the basement 5+ ft crawl space is via the garage. All utilities are found there, the floor is smooth concrete, space is insulated in the walls and ceiling for added quiet. Well is beside the driveway at the front of the house, and septic at the back. Lovely little playhouse/bunkie nests at the edge of the back yard, along with a fire-pit and large stone seats! Back deck seems like an extension of the inside of the house and is a favourite spot for bird watching and sunsets. Single car garage is extra deep which allows for workshop or storage space. Landscaping and your own sprinkler system put the cherry on top and make you just want to pull off your socks and run around barefoot in the grass, beverage in hand, music playing with burgers on the BBQ. It’s all here, come and see for yourself.
