Set within the highly sought-after Kentwood Elementary school district, this thoughtfully updated four-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers a flexible layout, inviting living spaces, and a backyard designed to be enjoyed. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level, including a well-appointed primary suite, the home is well suited for a variety of living arrangements. The main floor is filled with warm west-facing light, creating an inviting atmosphere in the living room, where built-in bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace serve as a natural focal point. A formal dining area connects to the remodeled kitchen, finished with custom gray cabinetry, ample counter space, and a subway tile backsplash. Double ovens, a smart refrigerator, and an eat-at peninsula with pendant lighting and a wine refrigerator make the space as functional as it is welcoming. Just beyond, the family room offers additional flexibility with built-in storage and French doors that open directly to the backyard. Positioned for privacy, the primary suite on the main level opens to the outdoor space and includes a walk-in closet and a remodeled bathroom with dual vanities, gold hardware and fixtures, black and gold hexagonal tile floors, custom wallpaper, and a marble-tiled shower with a rainfall showerhead and built-in niches. A secondary bathroom on this level features a soaking tub and a calming, spa-like feel. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are filled with natural light and character, enhanced by dormer windows, skylights, and built-in study nooks that create comfortable spaces for work, reading, or play. The backyard is designed for both relaxation and gathering, anchored by a heated pool with a cascading waterfall and surrounded by lush landscaping. The gated driveway and hardscaped areas provide additional room for play, while still offering privacy and separation from the street. A standout feature of the property is the oversized garage, currently set up as a poolside retreat with eight-foot folding doors that open to the yard. Complete with a built-in bar, keg refrigerator with taps, and a projector with screen, it functions as an extension of the outdoor living space. This structure also presents an opportunity for future use as a guest house or potential ADU, or it can be returned to a traditional garage. Moments from the neighborhood's best schools and around the corner from local grocery stores and shops, this traditional beauty makes everyday living easy.
