Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from April 26, 2023
An inviting front deck welcomes you to this wooded retreat in the popular and vibrant Parkmead neighborhood. Inside, natural light fills the living and dining rooms which are seamlessly connected and have access to a balcony overlooking the private back yard. The remodeled kitchen with a gas-powered cooking island and quartz counters throughout provides a wonderful space to create meals, and walls of glass showcase the natural beauty of the majestic trees and distant hills. At the far end of this modern rancher is a primary suite with a walk-in closet, upgraded bathroom and private balcony, and nearby are a convenient laundry room, two additional bedrooms and remodeled bathroom. An unfinished, above-grade framed basement provides ample storage as well as an opportunity to double the living area of this home with minimal disruption, while living upstairs. And it is just minutes away from shopping at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and Broadway Plaza, a variety of services and restaurants, easy access to commute routes, and within walking/biking distance of highly-rated K-12 schools!
