Offered at $479,900, this warm and welcoming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom family home, sits on a beautiful 0.292-acre lot in one of Merritt's most established neighbourhoods, close to parks and schools. Lovingly cared for by the same family for 49 years, this is a home where memories were made, children were raised, and gardens flourished. Inside you'll find nearly 2,000 sq. ft. of comfortable living space with a bright, inviting atmosphere, two WETT-certified wood-burning stoves, and a functional layout offering flexibility for growing families, first-time buyers, or those looking to downsize without sacrificing space. Step outside to discover your own private park-like backyard featuring a magnificent willow tree, mature plum, pear, and cherry trees, black currant and Saskatoon bushes, large garden space, an awesome 16' x 19' wood deck for entertaining, three storage sheds including a workshop, and convenient side yard access with room in the back to park recreational vehicles, trailers, or additional toys. Whether you envision expanding the gardens, adding a tree swing beneath the willow, creating more outdoor living space, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy, this property offers endless possibilities. Homes on extra large lots in town are getting harder and harder to find. If you're looking for a property with space to grow, room to make it your own, and a backyard that's every bit as special as the home itself, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss. (id:60457)
