Property details
About 140 Valley Rd
Discover this exceptional mountain style home, brimming with charm and modern upgrades, nestled on a quiet street in Five Points. It's an idyllic mountain retreat, yet right in the heart of Five Points. The owners have meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated the property, enhancing its livability while preserving its character. As you enter through the foyer, you'll find a formal dining room or home office and a bright, inviting, eat-in kitchen featuring 17' vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a bay window overlooking a stunning backyard. The living room, located at the rear of the house, boasts a gas fireplace and French doors leading to a lovely screened-in porch. Adjacent to the living room is a versatile small room ideal for a dry bar. The owner's suite offers privacy high among the trees with ample light and seclusion with a comfortable airy feel with 16' vaulted ceilings. The en-suite bathroom renovation was just completed and includes a dual vanity, separate water closet, beautiful new shower with full tiled and frameless shower door, and a spacious 300 sq. ft. closet/dressing room with additional storage nooks. Upstairs, you'll find two more bedrooms with a shared bathroom. The basement features a one and a half -car garage that is 31' deep with 12' ceilings, which maintains a consistent temperature and could easily be converted into a bonus room, media room, or hobby space. An additional, oversized two-car garage, that is 26' deep with 11' ceilings, added by the current owners, is heated and cooled, plumbed, and includes its own electrical panel. Perfect for an Auto enthusiast! The backyard is a true highlight with extensive landscape lighting, exceptional privacy, a dry creek bed, and beautiful yet low-maintenance landscaping. The exterior construction is stacked stone and cedar siding. The house was originally constructed in 2003, so unlike many Five Points homes, you won't have to deal with lead, asbestos, old wiring, old plumbing or lack of storage space. Even better, recent upgrades such as blown cellulose insulation, a brand-new high-efficiency HVAC system with two units, advanced filtration, and meticulous upkeep make this a move-in ready home with nothing needed.
