HIGHEST BEST & FINAL OFFERS DUE Tuesday 3/3 @ Noon. Welcome to 1518 Hillside Drive: a truly versatile and welcoming home! Greeted by fresh green landscaping, step inside to a foyer soaked in natural sunlight. There is just enough space to neatly tuck your shoes and hang your coat upon entry. This home thrives on functionality. Heading upstairs, you're immediately welcomed into the home with that same bright and airy cheer thanks to a large, beautiful and newly-replaced picture window, giving you a robust view of the neighborhood street while serving as a natural centerpiece in the living room. With space for multiple couches, there is ample room for friends and family to gather. But the open layout of this home also gives you a chance to spread out. The living room, dining room and kitchen flow nicely - one room to the next - making it easy to interact while preparing meals and hosting events. The kitchen was beautifully updated with white cabinetry, with enough counter space to meal prep and a peninsula for added seating and socializing. Additionally, there is an expanded dining nook with a dreamy bay window that looks out over the wooded backyard. Enjoy your morning breakfast while taking in such a peaceful surround! Also on the main floor are three bedrooms with a hallway bath and an en-suite in the primary for added privacy. The home has been nicely renovated throughout, with a full renovation of the lower level recently completed in 2025. This space was built for entertaining! Walk downstairs through the front foyer. To your left, you'll find a large, sunny playroom for kids of all ages to hang out and have fun. Imagine: game nights and sleepovers. The room is complete with a sizeable storage closet to optimize space. Next to the recreation room, there is a bonus room. It's currently set up as an office, but it could easily be used as a 4th bedroom or even a home gym. The opportunity is there. It’s yours to create! On the other side of the lower level, there is a second living space complete with a large dry bar: a host’s dream! The open bar area features a built-in beverage fridge, countertops for serving and a cabinets for storing. This is a place where friends gather. Grab a seat on the couch or cozy up next to the gas fireplace. And if you need more snacks, you can utilize the back staircase which takes you directly to the kitchen: functional and convenient! And on nice days, host your events outside. The large backyard features a new trex deck and a gorgeous view of the woods.
