Description

As you walk up the concrete driveway, taking in the pristine yard, mature trees, and beautiful neighborhood, you'll quickly see how special this home is. 5 bedrooms? Fresh paint? .34 acre homesite? Countless high-quality updates throughout? Check, check, check, and… check!

The moment you enter, the warmth of the natural light pours in, and a vaulted ceiling highlights the open main floor layout. The living room flows effortlessly into the kitchen and informal dining area, where stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and plenty of prep space make everyday meals and weekend gatherings equally enjoyable. What is the first meal you’re going to cook here? The corner sink with two large windows keeps it light and bright, and there is room for seating at the breakfast bar.

Just off the dining area, the deck opens to an immaculate lawn and backyard, offering a peaceful setting for morning coffee or evenings cooking on the grill, and includes an irrigation system to help keep everything looking its best. We're thinking garden. Are we on the same page? And imagine how good your favorite DQ Blizzard treat will taste out here on a hot summer day. Yum! Back inside and just steps from the dining area, still on the main level, is the family room, anchored by a cozy fireplace, as well as a bedroom, 1/2 bathroom, and the laundry and mudroom.

The upper level features three additional bedrooms, including a spacious owner's suite with a walk-in closet and 3/4 bathroom. There is also another (full) bathroom to accommodate the other upstairs bedrooms. Head down to the lowest level, where you'll find a huge 5th bedroom, newer mechanicals, and plenty of space for storage.

The location is amazing! You're surrounded by several parks; just down the street from Silver Springs Park, a half mile from Lake Julia Park, and a short walk to Distad Park and Greenway, and the miles upon miles of trails. And with so many options for restaurants and shopping just north on Pilot Knob, you're never far from any of your favorites. Whether you're running errands, grabbing dinner, or heading out for a walk, everything you need is close to home. If you searched "perfect location in Farmington," you'll likely find this spot at the top of the results.

Bonus: The seller just had the home professionally inspected, and has had consistent annual maintenance on the HVAC and plumbing for years. In addition to the roof, siding, and windows all new in 2021, the furnace and AC are only 10 years old or newer, the water heater and softener are both new in the last 5 years, the kitchen appliances are all 2 to 7 years old, carpet in several rooms was just replaced or installed prior to listing, and the interior was just repainted. The home inspector was quick to point out how excellent the home's condition is, and you'll see for yourself when you visit. The "heavy lifting" is done here, and this gem is set up for years of enjoyment. Don't miss this rare opportunity. Welcome home!
