This charming home has been thoughtfully updated over time. The light-filled living room welcomes you with large windows, private green views, hardwood floors and an easy flow into the kitchen. Designed by a professional chef, the kitchen has a gas range, commercial vent hood, quartz countertops, and a large attached island with seating. Larger than it looks from the street, the home offers 3 bedrooms on the main level plus a spacious primary suite upstairs (fourth bedroom). The rear bedroom on the main level works equally well as a den, playroom, office or guest room. Updated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, and new carpet make this home move-in ready. A surprising amount of storage space is available in spacious closets and the dry crawlspace/basement (also ideal for a workshop). The backyard is where this home really sets itself apart. The screened porch with a cozy reading nook is a true extension of the living spaces. An expansive paver patio is perfect for dining or entertaining. The flat, fenced yard is the ideal place to garden or play. Thoughtful landscaping includes native plants, raised garden beds and fruit-bearing trees (peach, fig, blueberry, pawpaw and mulberry). Barker Bryant Memorial Park and its lakeside trail are just a short stroll away. The peace of a quiet street while being centrally located with easy access to multiple communities makes this the ideal opportunity to have it all!
