Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1995 (29 years old) but shows clear evidence of significant updates within the 5-15 year range. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the interior boasts modern wood-look flooring, recessed lighting, and fresh paint. The property is move-in ready and exceptionally well-maintained with upgraded systems like leased solar panels.
Situated in the highly desirable Melinda Heights community, the property is within walking distance to a top-rated elementary school and offers easy access to RSM Lake and local amenities.
The rare three-car garage is a standout feature, complete with high-end SwissTrax flooring and extensive built-in cabinetry, providing exceptional utility and organization.
The interior features soaring ceilings and a flexible upstairs loft that can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom or utilized as a professional home office.
The solar energy system is leased rather than owned, which requires the buyer to assume a contract and may be a deterrent for those seeking an unencumbered utility setup.
At a price point exceeding $1.2 million, having only three dedicated bedrooms may limit appeal for larger families compared to other four-bedroom options in the area.
