Property description
Treehouse Vibes. Room to Grow. Location You’ll Love. Tucked among mature trees in the Merle Hay neighborhood, this split-foyer beauty blends cozy charm with everyday convenience — just minutes from schools, parks, shopping, and favorite local restaurants. Step inside and feel the light pour in. The welcoming living room flows easily into the dining and kitchen area, creating a layout that works just as well for quiet evenings as it does for hosting friends. The generously sized primary bedroom offers a comfortable retreat at the end of the day, while the second bedroom is perfectly suited for a child’s room, nursery, playroom, or home office — a flexible space ready to fit your lifestyle. Morning coffee? The covered three-season porch is ready. Summer dinners? The newly constructed deck with eastern light is the perfect backdrop. Whether you’re starting your day slowly or winding down under the trees, you’ve got options. The lower level expands your living space even more, featuring a large family room ideal for movie nights, game days, or a play area, plus a large third bedroom, full bath, and convenient laundry — giving everyone a little extra breathing room. And the garage? The tandem depth offers space for multiple vehicles, extra storage, a workshop, workout area, or the hobby space you’ve always wanted. If you’ve been looking for a home that feels peaceful, practical, and full of potential — this just might be it.
