Set on nearly 2 acres (1.9286 acres) in Apple Valley, this expansive home offers over 5,000 square feet of finished living space, 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths, with over $130,000 in updates and improvements throughout. The home is anchored by an updated first-floor primary suite with a private bath, offering true main-level living. A dedicated home office and main-level laundry add everyday functionality while maintaining a natural, easy flow throughout the main level. At the heart of the home, the living spaces are designed at scale. A dramatic two-story great room with a classic brick fireplace creates a natural gathering place and flows seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, and generous space for cooking, gathering, and hosting. The finished walkout lower level adds approximately 2,000 square feet of additional living space, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. This level features a custom bar with a live-edge curly walnut top, a built-in reading nook with shiplap backing and storage, and multiple flexible areas for hosting or everyday enjoyment. Outdoor living is an extension of the home, with two distinct patio spaces, including a walkout patio with a built-in fire ring and a second patio connected to the rear courtyard-perfect for quiet mornings or evenings with friends. Major mechanical updates include a furnace, A/C, and hot water tank replaced in 2020. An oversized attached 2.5-car garage, covered front porch, and the rare nearly two-acre setting complete a home that offers not just impressive square footage-but a warm, livable lifestyle meant to be enjoyed.
