Public Remarks: Modern Comfort Meets Mid-Century Cool at 1628 Nightingale Rd - Tucked away in a peaceful pocket that's close to everything, this thoughtfully updated home blends clean modern design with the character of its mid-century roots. Every detail has been refreshed with care, from the open living space to the stylish finishes that make everyday living feel just a little more special. The main level offers an airy flow from the living room to the dining area and kitchen, perfect for hosting or hanging out. The kitchen was completely reimagined in 2020 with new cabinets, honed countertops, marble tile backsplash, sleek appliances, porcelain flooring, and custom lighting. Fresh paint and trim throughout bring a crisp, modern look that makes the space feel brand new. Just off the living room, the sunroom is a little slice of calm surrounded by greenery and ideal for morning coffee or quiet afternoons with a good book. Two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor. Head downstairs to a fully finished lower level that feels more like an entertainment suite than a basement. Renovated in 2020, it features updated flooring, recessed lighting, waterproofing, a second full bath, and a custom built-in bar that's ready for game nights or weekend gatherings. There's also a flexible room that could serve as a home office, workout space, or even a third bedroom. Outside, a spacious patio overlooks a private backyard perfect for grilling, cornhole, or just enjoying the peaceful setting. The attached carport makes coming and going easy rain or shine, with direct access into the kitchen.Conveniently located near parks, expressways, and shopping this home offers the best of both worlds: city access and a quiet, natural retreat. Come see why this Nightingale sings.
