If close-in country and a terrific location is what you want, this 4+BR on a private, sunny and very quiet 3-acre parcel in Happy Valley may be just the answer. Lets start with location - just 1.5 mi from DeLaveaga Park, 5 mi to downtown, and with multiple routes to Hwy 17 for commuters. Built in 2006, this home offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and flexible living, with an open-concept design, vaulted ceilings, skylights and views across the valley. A generous primary suite sits on the main level, with a spa-like bath and direct access to a large deck with hot tub. Downstairs offers 3 or 4 more bedrooms, plus office or TV space, a laundry room and another generous deck accessing the lower yard, providing excellent separation for extended family and guests. Storage and parking won't be a concern, with a roomy 3-car garage, plus ample space for cars, boats and RVs. Beyond its comfort, functionality and natural beauty, this one also shines for fire safety and insurance discounts with 15K gallons of water storage and a private fire hydrant. Families take note, this is located within the award-winning Happy Valley Elementary School district, known for small class sizes and strong academics. Combine this with the setting and space and you have a place truly worth calling home.
