Property Description
There’s something wonderfully welcoming about this Tamarack Ridge home—the kind of place that makes you feel at home the moment you arrive. Inside, a spacious great room creates an inviting gathering space, flowing naturally into the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen features newer stainless appliances and plenty of room to connect while cooking and entertaining. Step outside and the experience continues with a beautiful deck designed for enjoying long summer evenings, complete with a built-in BBQ and a private, fully fenced setting. Recent updates bring added peace of mind, including a new furnace, heat pump and water heater in 2025, plus newer carpet, blinds and fresh interior and exterior paint. With 4 bedrooms, 2.25 baths and flexible living space, there’s room to settle in and make this home your own. Neighborhood parks and convenient access to schools, shopping and major commuter routes add to the appeal. A warm, well-cared-for home in a location that makes everyday living easy definitely deserves your attention.
