Description

Whether you're searching for your first home, a place to grow, or simply a home that's move-in ready, this property checks all the boxes.
One of the home's greatest features is its unbeatable location. Enjoy the convenience of being just a short walk from Central Elementary School, Nevada Middle School, and Nevada High School, making morning routines a breeze. You'll also appreciate being just minutes from downtown Nevada, local shopping, restaurants, the Nevada Community Recreation Center, and Highway 30.
Step inside and you'll immediately feel at home. Warm custom wood accents, beautiful built-in bookcases, and quality craftsmanship create a welcoming atmosphere that's both timeless and inviting. Large windows allow natural light to fill the home, creating bright and comfortable living spaces throughout.
The spacious living room provides the perfect place to gather with family, relax after a long day, or entertain guests. The adjoining kitchen and dining area offer an efficient, open layout designed for everyday living. Whether you're preparing weeknight meals or hosting holiday celebrations, you'll appreciate the functionality, storage, and comfortable flow between spaces.
The main level features three generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing a layout that accommodates families, guests, or those needing dedicated office space. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, while the additional bedrooms provide flexibility for children, visitors, hobbies, or work-from-home needs.
The lower level significantly expands the home's living space and offers endless possibilities. Whether you envision a large family room, game room, or home office, this versatile space can easily adapt to your lifestyle. With ample room for storage as well, the lower level adds tremendous value and functionality.
Outside the spacious deck overlooks a beautifully landscaped yard, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee, evening relaxation, family cookouts, or entertaining friends. The mature landscaping and attractive corner lot provide both beauty and privacy, making the outdoor living space an extension of the home itself.
The attached two-car garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, lawn equipment, tools, and additional storage, providing both convenience and practicality throughout every season.
Meticulously cared for and move-in ready, this home offers an outstanding combination of quality construction, timeless finishes, flexible living space, and one of the best locations in Nevada. From the custom woodwork and built-in shelving to the inviting backyard and proximity to schools and parks, every detail has been thoughtfully maintained to create a home you'll be proud to own.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMulti-age teachers are superb- always accessible, work hard to keep up on research and new techniques. They are often there after hours, and truly seem to care about the kids. They collaborate and work well together. My children have been happy in that program, and, overall, I have been happy with their education. Principal is solid and always a presence at after school activities and functions, but not always accessible in the office. Strong group of parents who support Music Parents, Boosters, sports, field trips, fundraising, school improvement, etc. Parent involvement is not "over-the-top," which I consider a good thing.Parent Review12y ago
