Property Description

Welcome to your very own “treehouse retreat” — with plenty of room to spread out! Tucked among the mature trees of the Merle Hay neighborhood, this split-level charmer offers the cozy, peaceful vibe of a getaway… with the convenience of being minutes from schools, parks, shopping and restaurants! Step inside to a light-filled main level featuring an airy living space that flows effortlessly into the dining room and kitchen — ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The generously sized primary bedroom offers a true retreat, paired with a cozier second bedroom and a full bath, all surrounded by gorgeous natural light. Off the dining area, your dreamy covered three-season porch is the perfect spot for coffee at sunrise; just steps away, the brand-new deck is ready for evenings under the stars. Downstairs you’ll love the spacious family/rec room, a 3rd bedroom, full bath, and convenient laundry area. Bonus alert: the tandem-length 24x36 garage provides room for 2+ cars plus a space for your workshop, hobby space or future hangout zone!
