FOR SALE - 5 BEDROOMS - 3.5 BATHROOMS - FINISHED BASEMENT - OVERSIZED GARAGE! Discover this highly upgraded Melanie-built detached home at 225 Sunset Cres, located in a peaceful, family-oriented community with Russell High School, St. Joseph Catholic Elementary, and a planned French elementary school just steps away (all within 500 meters)! The home features a rare 4-bedroom layout upstairs plus a 5th bedroom and full bathroom in the finished basement. The bright open-concept main floor features 9' ceilings, a gas fireplace, and hardwood flooring that continues throughout the second level - a desirable builder upgrade over standard carpets. The spacious kitchen features quartz countertops, a walk-in pantry, gas stove, large island with seating, and a window above the sink, with a bright and sunny breakfast area just off the kitchen. Upstairs, a special request directly from the builder converted the original laundry room into a 4th bedroom/flex room, ideal for a nursery or home office, while laundry was moved to the basement to minimize noise upstairs. The three main bedrooms each feature a walk-in closet. The finished basement adds valuable living space with a 5th bedroom and full bathroom - ideal for a family member or guest wanting their own space. The garage was upgraded with a taller door to comfortably fit a full-size pickup truck such as an F-150 and includes a garage door opener. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with a deck, along with permanently installed year-round LED exterior lighting - choose your colours and preset automatic schedules for holidays, special occasions, or everyday use. Additional features include smart climate controls. With 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, extensive builder upgrades, and multiple schools just steps away, this home is exceptionally well suited for a growing or multi-generational family.
