The Future Potential
Here’s where it gets interesting. The original owner designed the 1996 expansion with future plans in mind: the footings were built to support a second-story addition. Even sooner, you could convert part or all of the oversized 565 sq ft garage (right off the kitchen) into living space—adding nearly 500 sq ft instantly and creating a 2,600+ sq ft home.
Whether you love it as-is or envision more, 5519 Terrace Drive offers a unique blend of space, upgrades, and flexibility in one of the Foothills’ most desirable neighborhoods.
