Welcome to 2533 Emerson Drive! Nestled in the sought-after Whittier planned community, this light-filled traditional brick front garage townhome offers space, comfort, updated style, and lovely Western mountain views--with over 2300 square feet, ALL located above grade. This home has no neighboring units directly behind (backing to a buffer area with a nearby tot lot), adding to the relative privacy of the space. On the entry level of the home you'll find a convenient coat closet, access to the garage, and laundry and utility rooms. But the real star of the show is a large bonus bedroom/recreation room with a beautiful and spacious full bathroom en suite. This flex room could have a number of uses (in-law or roommate space, office space, or rec room), as it enjoys both windows and a full sliding glass patio door that walks out directly to the backyard, adding to the brightness of that special space. With a privacy-fenced backyard (with gate access to the common area), brick patio, landscape beds, and an entertainment-ready deck just a flight of steps up to the middle/kitchen level, it's an ideal scenario for easy outdoor entertaining and relaxation. In the middle level of this home, is a centrally-located kitchen with large island, pantry, ample cabinetry, and plenty of counter space. With an open floor plan like this one, there are many options for room use throughout this level, with a large dining/gathering room adjacent to the kitchen and a huge living/great room to the front--these wide-open spaces are truly what you decide to make them! A convenient recently-updated powder room is directly off of the kitchen, ideal for visitors and quick trips in from the deck. Upstairs, a serene retreat awaits--a spacious primary bedroom featuring vaulted ceilings, sitting area space, TWO generous walk-in closets, and an en-suite bathroom complete with a relaxing soaking tub and separate shower--all with views of the scenic Western mountainscape.
