If you’ve been waiting for that sweet spot in Genesee, killer location, smart upgrades, mountain vibes, and a price that doesn’t make you wince, this is it. Let’s talk peace of mind (because that matters up here). In 2012, the home was upgraded with Hardie Board siding, a major step up from the standard wood siding in the neighborhood. It’s low maintenance, fire-resistant, and built to last. Pair that with a Class 4 impact-resistant roof (2018), city water, nearby fire hydrants, and you’ve got a property that’s well-positioned for foothills insurance. That’s not flashy, that’s smart. And the upgrades don’t stop there. Composite decking, owned 9KW solar system, Rinnai instant hot water heater, steam humidifier, mini-split AC systems in all upstairs bedrooms. This home performs. Inside, the remodeled kitchen is the heart of the action. High-end appliances, induction cooktop, wine refrigerator, convection microwave and a regular microwave (because sometimes you just want to heat up leftovers fast) make this kitchen equal parts chef-worthy and real-life ready. The vaulted living room, warmed by a wood-burning fireplace, opens directly to a spacious main-level deck. Head down to the lower patio and slip into the nearly new hot tub. Yes, there are multiple staircases and that’s by design. The levels create flexible hangout zones and private retreats. Everyone gets space. And let’s be honest: stairs are cheaper than a gym membership. Upstairs, the generous primary suite captures mountain views and sits conveniently near two secondary bedrooms that share a remodeled full bath. The walk-out lower level offers even more flexibility with a rec room, a private 4th bedroom or study, a ¾ bath, and a bonus room perfect for a den, library, playroom or that epic Lego kingdom you swore you were building “for the kids.” In a neighborhood known for its lifestyle and location, this home stands out for its thoughtful upgrades, insurance-friendly improvements, and incredible value.
