THIS NATRONA HEIGHTS HOME IS ONLY
10 YEARS OLD AND IS MOVE-IN READY
Lots of options, an on-trend look and a family
friendly neighborhood are just some of the
features of the four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home
for sale at 228 Chinkapin Drive in Natrona Heights.
Nestled in the Oakridge Estates plan and close
to Harrison Hills Park, the home is listed for sale
at $299,900.
Step through the front door into the entryway
and to the right is a space converted from a typical
closet to an open storage area with hooks for
hanging coats. Directly ahead is the staircase with
a deep-toned wood and wrought iron banister.
Turn to the right and you’ll pass a powder room
and first-floor laundry space before entering an
office area that could also be used as a small den
or library.
One of the selling points with this home is that
it has enough space to allow for a number of different
options depending upon exactly what the
buyer’s needs and interests might be. Big family?
Frequent guests? Multiple people working from
home? Quiet study space? Home gym? Lots of
hobbies? The home could accommodate many
different combinations.
Immediately to the left of the entryway is the
dining room with a chair rail and crown molding
and two windows looking out toward the front
yard. From there you’ll move into the roomy eatin
kitchen that measures 18x11 and has plentiful
cabinets, pocket and pendant lighting, attractive
backsplash and countertops, a large pantry and
center island for additional prep, storage and
serving space.
There’s room for the table and chairs for everyday
meals just in front of the sliding glass
door that leads out to the deck, which will make
it easy to come and go for a meal outside looking
out over the trees that lie beyond the backyard
on the property.
Set up a grill or smoker and you’ll be all set for
summer.
Back inside, the room opens into a large living
room that includes a fireplace tucked into the far
corner, crown molding, ceiling fan and pocket
lights and a window that looks over the deck.
There are four bedrooms upstairs. The sizable
master suite sits at the end of the hallway and it
includes a bathroom with a double-sink vanity
and separate walk-in shower and tub, a walk-in
closet and a vaulted ceiling. The other three bedrooms
are also a decent size and they share a full
