An Intown Forever Home That Grows With You- This Lake Claire home is designed for buyers who want to stay intown without outgrowing their space. With a flexible layout that supports multigenerational living, real work-from-home separation, and legitimate income potential, it solves all of your real estate needs. The main residence offers 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, paired with a detached 1-bedroom apartment of approximately 700 SF over a two-car garage. Both spaces function independently, giving you options now and later without compromise. The apartment is fully separate and works beautifully as an income-producing rental, a private office or studio, a guest suite, or space for adult children, or a caregiver. Privacy is built in, not improvised, so daily life flows without overlap. Inside the main home, the layout supports how people actually live. There's room to work from home without taking over shared spaces, room for kids to spread out, and comfortable common areas that bring everyone back together. This is long-term flexibility without needing another move or a major renovation down the road. Outside, the yard is intentionally scaled. Enough green space for play, pets, gardening, or a firepit, without the time commitment of a large lot. The home sits at the end of a private back entrance drive serving just three residences, so it lives like a cul-de-sac, quiet, low traffic, and ideal for kids playing outside with a real sense of privacy and ease. When you want more room, the neighborhood delivers. Parks, pool, sidewalks, and neighbors are all just minutes away. Parking, a premium for intown homes, is straightforward with a two-car garage servicing main home, carport space that serves the apartment and easy front street parking for quick in and outs during the day. Additional guest parking in the private drive or at street level. If you're spending $1.5M intown, this is the kind of home worth buying, a true forever home rather than a starter house or renovation project, offering walkable access to parks and restaurants, proximity to schools, and a neighborhood known for its active community and long-term residents. Owners most recent tenant paid $1650 mo for the apartment. Ask your lender how this income stream may increase your buying power and offset mortgage costs.
