Welcome to the moment where someday becomes right now. On a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from Foster Park in sought-after Auburn Gresham, this architect-designed renovated 4 bedroom, 3 full bath home offers more than space - it offers the lifestyle buyers dream about when they decide it's time for something better. From the moment you step inside, the home opens up in a way that just feels right. The open-concept layout, rich hardwood flooring, and a striking coffered entry ceiling with LED lighting create an immediate sense of warmth and style. Natural light pours through abundant windows, while the electric fireplace anchors the living room - perfect for cozy nights in, movie marathons, or hosting friends without feeling cramped. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is built for real life and real gatherings. Calacatta quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous prep space make weeknight dinners easy and holiday hosting effortless. Just beyond, the flow of the home keeps everyone connected - whether you're helping with homework, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee. For first-time buyers, this is the kind of home you grow into instead of out of. For move-up buyers, it's the upgrade in comfort, function, and finish you've been waiting for. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, complete with true zone heating and cooling, a spa-inspired bath with a stand-alone soaking tub, separate shower, and vanity - your own escape at the end of the day. Downstairs, the finished lower level delivers flexibility that fits modern living: A bedroom ideal for related living or guests, an expansive family room for game days or movie nights, a dry bar for easy entertaining, and a bathroom enhanced with Bluetooth speakers for a little everyday luxury. Need space that works as hard as you do? The enclosed heated porch is perfect year-round as a mudroom, home office, or creative space. An oversized laundry room with front-loading washer and dryer keeps life organized without sacrificing storage. Out back, the large deck sets the stage for summer grilling, birthday parties, and quiet evenings under the stars. A 2-car detached garage adds convenience, while Foster Park just steps away means morning walks, pickup games, and green space are part of daily life - not a weekend drive. This home isn't just about bedrooms and bathrooms. It's about hosting without stress. Growing without moving. Comfort without compromise. Elevate your lifestyle and come see what life can feel like when home finally matches your future.
