If the way to your homebuying heart is through the kitchen, then your heart will love it here. That's because the positively gleaming kitchen has been decked out with a granite-topped island, a touchscreen induction cooktop, premium cabinets, and a stainless farmhouse sink with a pull-down faucet. It's in keeping with this home's updated, turnkey condition, which is enhanced by an open layout, including the bright and sunny eat-in dining room and living room. Seamless access takes you to the huge backyard, with a shed and raised garden beds. Enjoy morning coffees on the wood deck as hot air balloons fly overhead, then enjoy acres of open space just blocks away, with a network of parks, trails, dog parks and a rec center with a pool. Downtown Lafayette is also close by for acclaimed dining, shopping, festivals and fun. Premium hardwoods run throughout this home's main living spaces and into the primary suite, which sports fresh, neutral finishes and a remodeled bathroom for a peaceful escape. In winter, the cozy lower level offers a fireplace and living room, media room or rec room space for indoor fun. Fresh exterior paint, EV garage charging, a smart thermostat and reliable gig internet keep the perfection of this sweet home going.
