NEW CUSTOM HOME in Highland Terrace, a premier neighborhood built by Evergreen Homes just 2 minutes from picturesque downtown La Center, close to excellent schools, and 5 minutes from I-5. Highland Terrace features a neighborhood park complete with a swing set, walking path, benches, a bike rack and a picnic table to enjoy with a view of the hills and adjacent open space. Plenty of recreational activities are close by, including soccer and baseball fields, miles of hiking and biking trails to explore, kayaking or canoeing on the East Fork Lewis River, and outdoor entertainment at Sternwheeler Park's amphitheater. From your covered front porch, you'll enjoy a beautiful mountain view accented by the rolling hills. The entry features a convenient bench with coat hooks for guests to stow their things and leads into the inviting great room which is full of light from the wall of windows and highlights an elegant fireplace with built-in shelves on either side. The island kitchen has generous counter space, custom cabinets with full-extension drawers, a coffee counter, and a built-in cabinet pantry. Big sliding glass doors open from the dining room to the 30 ft wide covered and uncovered back patio. The yard is fully fenced with a programmable irrigation system. The private owner's suite (no shared walls with other bedrooms) includes a luxurious spa-like bath with a tile shower and soaking tub, a walk-in closet with lots of storage, and linen closet. At the front of the home, you'll find a built-in office, complete with a desk with file cabinets, open shelves, and a window to bring in natural light, perfect to work from home or to keep your home-life organized. Across the hall, you'll find two additional spacious bedrooms each with their own walk-in closet that share the hall bathroom. The convenient laundry room has a folding counter, hanging bar, cabinets and a sink plus a pocket door to close it off from view! Park in the extra deep 2-car garage with two separate garage doors. This home is Energy Star Certified which means low utility bills and comfortable temperatures and air quality year around. It features: a Trane electric heat pump for efficient heating and cooling, a Trane Clean Effects electronic air cleaner (ideal for those with allergies; clean air even on the worst smoky days), a Broan Heat Recovery Ventilator (removes excess moisture, odors, and contaminants while conserving energy and enhancing comfort), and an electric heat pump water heater (pay less for that hot shower!). Depending on your mapping app, it may show the wrong location, because it's a new neighborhood. Highland Terrace is located on the north side of Pacific Hwy and Larson Dr.
