About This Home
A hidden room and upstairs suite with its own entrance. The listing photos don't do it justice. At 2,118 square feet, this 3 bedroom, 3 full bath home has considerably more space than the exterior lets on. Bamboo floors run throughout, and the kitchen was updated for someone who actually cooks: granite counters, a deep farmhouse sink, a five burner ceramic cooktop, and a built in wall oven. Comfort here is designed in, not added on. Electric fireplaces anchor both levels, and several ceiling fans include ceramic heaters — the kind of detail you appreciate in January. Then there's the part that steals every showing. A bookcase that swings open to a hidden room with a safe inside. Yes, really. Upstairs is a private retreat with its own separate entrance off the back of the home: a bedroom, a living area with kitchenette, and a full bath with a walk in shower. Come and go without ever crossing the main level — well suited for guests or a home office suite. Out back, the original garage offers alley access plus a small workshop for projects and storage. With a dependable rental history behind it, the home is now vacant, move-in ready, and easy to show. No tenant to work around, no punch list waiting on the new owner. Schedule a showing and find the hidden room for yourself.
