This exceptional home has all of the desirable qualities and features that truly make a house a home. Meticulously maintained, all major systems have been updated in the past 5 years. The curb appeal will naturally draw you in, the beautiful gardens greet you, and the basketball hoop shows that this is a house ready for people to have some fun. On the main level you will find a gracious entryway, formal living and dining rooms, the living room with gas fireplace and mantel perfect for the holidays. Notice the pretty views of the backyard through the dining room windows. A beautiful well-designed kitchen with newer Kitchenaid stainless steel appliances, plentiful Maple cabinetry, granite countertops, large kitchen island and a separate pantry, make this a delightful and practical space for cooking and entertaining. There is an eat-in dining space next to the kitchen perfect for informal meals, and an easy flow leading to the spacious family room with another gas fireplace. The entire main level enjoys abundant natural light streaming in through large, well-placed double hung windows. From the family room a double door leads to gorgeous backyard with patio and fireplace ready for some cozy family time during the cooler months. Also on the main level are a home office with floor-to-ceiling built-ins, and a powder room. Enter the house through the 2-car garage and the mudroom, again an extremely comfortable layout. *** Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, including the spacious primary suite with double sinks and two walk-in closets. The second upstairs bedroom is ensuite as well, and the 3rd and 4th upstairs bedrooms share a hall bathroom with double sinks. *** In the lower level is a large recreation room, 2 additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and a huge amount of storage space. The lower level is walk-up to that beautifully landscaped, fully-fenced backyard. *** Truly, this sort of opportunity doesn’t come available every day so be sure to take a look and fall in love. Some features to be sure to notice: brand new garage door, newly refinished hardwood floors on the main level, newly installed Luxury Vinyl Tile in the lower level. *** 5850 26th St N is situated in a highly desirable North Arlington location just a few blocks to local shops, grocery stores, restaurants and highly rated schools. Sellers currently have an active Overlee Community Association Pool membership, which could be transferred to the new owners, pending verification with Overlee. This transfer would put the new owners much nearer to the top of the very long waitlist at a highly sought-after North Arlington community pool.
