Here is an opportunity to own a rare detached home with an in-law suite on the lower level with a private side entrance that has a proven history of rental as an Airbnb with a 76% occupancy rate over the last 12 months at an average price of $150 per night, for a monthly income before expenses of $3,450. Or makes a great home office w/private entrance & driveway.

The bright main level is newly repainted with a living room & a good-sized dining area that opens to a recently updated and open granite/stainless kitchen. There's lots of counter space & pleasing storage cabinets. It's great for the casual entertainment today's buyers prefer. There's a convenient half bathroom and a rear recreation room with an entrance from the rear parking pad - good for 2-3 cars- and it has an EV charger. The 2nd level has 3BR and 2 full bathrooms. The owner suite has a spacious bathroom with a soaking tub, a separate shower, and a heated floor. The walk-in closet has ample space for all your clothes and adornments. Windows are large and east and south facing, while the two other bedrooms are well-sized. The finished-level attic bedroom is great for guests or hobbies. Both upper levels are comfortably carpeted.

The main level and basement have gas-forced air heating, and a high-efficiency tankless water heater serves the whole house. The lower level has a private side entrance, so if you choose to rent out, there is no interference with your front and rear entrances. It has no steps, two bedrooms, a living room, a well-equipped kitchen, and a full bathroom. There's a utility room with a washer/dryer (there is another owner washer dryer on the bedroom level), which can be locked off from the apartment if desired, and it connects with the upper level. This is an end-of-block home, so it has a large front and side yard, and wedding parties have been hosted here. Surrounded by Cyprus Trees planted in 2021, they have already grown to add great privacy. The sale includes a 2021 hot tub that is screened from the sun & birds. It will be a popular hang-out spot or a soothing end to your day!
