62-Year Legacy Home in Hastings! Welcome to a home that truly defines "pride of ownership" condition. Meticulously maintained by a single owner for over 62 years, this beautiful multi-split-level property has been masterfully updated to meet the demands of today's market. Offering an incredibly rare blend of timeless craftsmanship, versatile living spaces, and exceptional outdoor amenities, this Hastings treasure is completely move-in ready. Step inside to a bright main floor living room that enhances the flowing open, airy layout. The heart of the home is the beautifully updated kitchen, boasting rich maple cabinets, custom built-ins, premium granite countertops, a timeless tile backsplash, and kitchen appliances (including a stainless gas range). The kitchen enters seamlessly from the finished and attached garage, which features a durable epoxy-coated floor and convenient overhead attic storage. Optimally connected to the kitchen is a stunning 4-season-style addition with vaulted ceiling, currently used as a dining room. Finished with durable laminate wood flooring, this highly versatile room functions beautifully as a formal dining space, a sunroom, or a main-floor family lounge. Head upstairs to find all three bright and inviting bedrooms grouped together on the upper level—a highly sought-after layout. The upper level is serviced by a pristine full bath showcasing a double-sink vanity with a solid surface top and beautiful cabinetry. Bonus for hardwood lovers: Original hardwood floors sit underneath the carpet on both the main and upper levels, preserved and waiting to be uncovered! Just a few steps down from the main living room is a spacious family room anchored by a cozy electric fireplace and custom built-ins. This level also hosts a second bathroom—a spotless 3/4 bath featuring Corian surfaces and a standalone shower—alongside a dedicated laundry room outfitted with high-end machines and a convenient service door to the backyard. The lowest level offers an expansive and versatile rec-room featuring a coveted cedar closet, and which adjoins a large, dedicated storage room. The sheer amount of large, adaptable spaces in this home easily accommodates a variety of buyer needs and demographics. The fully fenced backyard feels absolutely massive and is a spectacular paradise for gardeners and nature lovers alike. Enjoy regular visits from deer, bunnies, and a wide variety of birds. Step out from the addition onto a 1-year-old maintenance-free landing and steps which lead down to a large patio, perfect for entertaining. The pristine grounds feature a 50 x 40 ft vegetable garden, a separate perennial flower garden, mature apple trees, and an in-ground sprinkler system to keep the lawn lush. Storage and hobby space are abundant with a handy yard shed plus a heated workshop shed equipped with its own separate electrical panel! No detail has been overlooked. Enjoy high-end Hunter Douglas blinds and window treatments, solid surface countertops throughout, and a collection of newer Anderson windows as well as Pella windows. Featuring a newer concrete driveway, newer water heater and a newer water softener, from the spotless mechanics to the gorgeous, park-like yard, every square inch of this property reflects decades of uncompromising care and the ultimate definition of pride of ownership. Don't miss your chance to be only the second owner of this remarkable Hastings residence!
