Description
Nestled on an oversized cul-de-sac lot, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 4-bath residence offers an exceptional blend of comfort, functionality, and thoughtful design. All bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, while an expansive upstairs gameroom with a full bath opens to a private balcony with exterior stairs leading to the covered patio—creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience ideal for entertaining. The open-concept layout is both inviting and practical, anchored by a spacious chef’s kitchen featuring a large island with prep sink, abundant cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, appliance garage, and exceptional storage. Extensively upgraded with over $300,000 in improvements, the home showcases a comprehensive interior renovation with updated baths, all-new flooring, granite surfaces, and refined fixtures. The kitchen is further elevated by a premium Thermador appliance suite, including a steam oven and warming drawer. Major system upgrades include Pella windows installed throughout, three HVAC systems replaced and maintained under service contract, and a recently completed roof and gutter replacement (2026). The attic has been upgraded with approximately 16 inches of insulation, meeting today’s standards for energy performance. Step outside to a private backyard oasis backing to scenic walking, jogging, and biking trails, with nearby parks for added enjoyment. The outdoor living space features a heated and chilled pool with spa, a spacious side yard, privacy fencing, and a pollinator garden that attracts birds and hummingbirds. A complete pool remodel and newer pump enhance both beauty and function. Additional highlights include a three-car oversized garage with finished floors and a peaceful neighborhood setting. Ideally located near Sandlin City Park, offering trails, playgrounds, and greenbelt access—this is a rare opportunity to own a truly turnkey home in a desirable community.
