If close-in country and a terrific location is what you're looking for, this newer 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. The home was built in 2006 and offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and functional, flexible living, with an open concept design, vaulted ceilings, skylights and view-catching windows. A generous primary suite sits on the main level, with a spa-like bath and direct access to a large deck. Downstairs, another 3 or 4BRs, w/added office or TV space, laundry room and another generous deck that accesses the lower yard. Storage and parking won't be a concern, with this roomy 3-car garage, plus loads of room for parking cars, boats and RVs. And while this one rates a 5-star for comfort, functionality, and natural beauty, for fire safety and insurance discounts it has 15K gallons of water storage and your own fire hydrant. Families actively seek out this area, not just for its natural beauty, but for access to award-winning Happy Valley Elementary, known for its small class sizes and exceptional academic reputation.
