Darrell and Carrie Cox are officially my first Facebook Referral. Thank you to Mark Winstead for the introduction!
Darrell and Carrie have a corporate sale move out of town and correspondingly, were able to do some things with their home that the average seller could not do:
- Have it professionally inspected
- Have it appraised for market conditions by TWO appraisers
- Have Susie and Mari stage it (via yours truly)
- Price it for less than the neighbor down the street with the identical floorplan who went under contract at $250,000 in 11 days.
2655 Silent Rain Drive, C/S/C
This 1993 built home is over 2300 total square feet. While the lots in Oak Valley Ranch, and especially Silent Rain are on the small side, what this lot lacks in size it more than makes up for in privacy. The neighboring houses make a ring around this property allowing the lot to extend into a deep semi-circle. Mature aspens tower up above the height of the house adding shade and privacy. The front yard landscaping in face is impeccable.
In the backyard is a nice wood deck with built-in bench seating. The sellers have extended this with a brick-paver patio offering a great outdoor area for al fresco dining or a nice dinner party.
Inside, the condition is nearly perfect. In 2008, every window was replaced with vinyl replacement windows. In the process, the sellers removed a useless upper level deck that stole a lot of the backyard space and added two windows instead to the 11 x 16 secondary bedroom. With glass on either side of the bedroom, the room is filled with natural light, and Spring through Autumn, it enjoys the canopy of aspens outside.
Architecturally, the house benefits from some great benefits:
- Two-Story Vaulted Ceiling in the Living Room
- Living Room Fireplace
- Big Dining Room with Bay Window
- Spacious 14x14 Master Bedroom with walk-in closet easily big enough for a king bed.
- Oversized secondary bedrooms of 11x16 and 10x16 on the upper level and a 14x12 with walk-in in the basement.
- Spacious kitchen with eat-in area.
- Main Level Laundry
- Open Stairwell to the lower level providing an open, airy feeling from one level to the next
- Skylight in the upper level secondary bathroom.
Throughout the home, the cleanliness and care are evident. Consistency is a hallmark of a remarkable property, and here you will find:
- Up/Down Blinds in all the bedrooms
- Vinyl Windows even in the basement window wells
- Super Carpet throughout
- Neutral Paint Throughout
- Upgraded Lighting and Faucet Fixtures
With the market beginning to turn around, the Northwest MLS is increasingly popular. This home sits a mere two blocks from Oak Valley Ranch Park, has trails to both the north and southeast, a neighborhood Starbucks and one of the cities only outdoor pools less than a half mile away.
With almost $20,000 in improvements in the last two years, this is a ready-to-move-in home that you will not want to miss.
