Welcome home to 222 Ashley Place! Tucked away in a private, quiet cul-de-sac directly across from Lakewood Elementary and abutting beautiful Lake Ida Ann Park, this thoroughly updated 3,000+ sqft residence is the ultimate family oasis. Sitting on a sun-drenched, south-facing 0.46-acre lot, this home offers an incredible blend of indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, you'll find a bright, spacious layout featuring a stunning living room with vaulted ceilings and a cozy fireplace. Entertain with ease in the formal dining area, family room (complete with a second fireplace!), and eat-in breakfast nook adjoining the kitchen. The upper level also includes 3 generously sized bedrooms, highlighted by a huge primary retreat with a walk-in closet and a private ensuite. Downstairs provides exceptional flexibility. The main dwelling enjoys a massive office/rec room with a third fireplace and the laundry room. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will absolutely love the large 2-car garage complete with a huge workbench! Additionally, the lower level features a highly desirable 2-bedroom suite with its own laundry, perfect for extended family or as a fantastic mortgage helper. The entire home (including the suite) benefits from a modern multi-zone heat pump, ensuring efficient heating and cooling year-round. The outdoor spaces are truly spectacular. Enjoy morning coffee or evening BBQs on the two expansive decks at the front and back of the house. The nearly half-acre lot features a large, grassy front yard, a partially fenced side yard adorned with cherry trees, and a low-maintenance, rock and mature forest backyard that will ignite the imagination of any young explorer or lover of nature. Location is everything! Kids can safely walk across the street to school or play in the cul-de-sac, yet you are just a 2-minute drive to Costco, grocery stores, and vibrant local shops. Don't miss this rare opportunity to secure a magnificent home in a truly unbeatable, family-friendly neighborhood! (id:62865)
