LIVE LIFE ON VACATION IN HILLVIEW! You aren't just buying a fabulous home, you are buying into a lifestyle, and in this vibrant community, 10% of residents can be 45 or older. This lovely 2 BR/2 Bath carriage house has an open-concept, flexible floorplan. The "great room" consists of a comfortable living room, spacious dining area and upgraded QUARTZ KITCHEN where you can see your family and friends from every space. This is where you will spend most of our time enjoying the beautiful light that filters through the east and south-facing windows. The owners have not only meticulously cared for this home, but they have improved it, too. In 2019, they removed the granite counters in the kitchen and baths and replaced them with beautiful quartz. They created a walk-in pantry underneath stairs to loft, and finished the attic storage space into a wonderful 20'x15' room with luxury vinyl plank flooring. This is currently the owner's studio but it could be a he/she cave, grandkids' dorm, 2nd office...you decide! Some (but not all!) of the other improvements and upgrades include: Replaced standard 3-tab roof shingles with new architectural shingles with a transferable warranty, June 2019; added whole-house generator, Jan. 2021; beautiful wood flooring in the foyer and great room; replaced carpet and padding in both bedrooms, front office & added carpet/pad on stairs to loft; new in 2018, a built-in microwave and super-quiet dishwasher; added extensive, unique landscaping all around the house and privacy hedges around deck; created a new front garden bed, adding a red maple tree as its hallmark; organized the primary bedroom closets by replacing all rails & shelving; added extensive shelving to laundry room; added 60 ft. of shelving in the garage; added safety features to upstairs plumbing & hot water heater (water/leak alarm/shut-off); extensive electrical upgrades (especially when finishing loft) and upgraded light fixtures including a new dining room chandelier, ceiling fans, In 2020 the great room, guest bedroom, and primary bedroom ceiling were professionally painted. This property has three structural special features not found in every carriage house model...a main floor office, approx. 300-325 sq. ft. 2nd floor loft/studio, and an expanded, partially covered deck with a white vinyl railing with new caps. You'll enjoy stargazing from this spacious custom composite deck which faces south and has an overhang that allows you to enjoy it rain or shine. A 2-car garage and a 2-car driveway provide plenty of parking for your family and friends, and there is on-street parking and overflow parking throughout the community.
