About This Property
5.625% for Five Years can be a reality on a 5/1 ARM loan! No Points, No PMI. Let me connect you to a lender who can discuss this with you. This move-in ready house could be yours before you know it! A fresh new look welcomes you to this beautiful 2-story Olathe home, where professionally painted interiors on the main level as well as the primary suite and hallway on the 2nd level. Newly refinished main-level hardwood floors create a clean, updated, move-in ready feel. Beyond the windows, the seasons become part of the experience. Backing to wooded green space, the private setting changes beautifully throughout the year—from spring blooms and summer greenery to the color of autumn and the quiet beauty of winter. With 5 bedrooms, 3½ baths and a finished walkout lower level with recreation room, kitchenette, 5th bedroom and full bath, there is room for family, guests and multi-generational living. A screened porch and backyard fire pit invite you to slow down and enjoy it. Whole-house sound wiring, programmable exterior lighting and wonderful neighborhood amenities complete a home that offers the freshness of new construction with something new construction can't create—a sense of place.
