Located in the middle of the city, close to all of the new Government Street buzz and minutes from Towne Center, this home is full of character and sits on a huge lot! If you are looking for pier and beam charm with a modern interior, this may be the house for you! This home has beautifully updated kitchen and baths. The master bathroom is very modern, boasting a dual vanity, glass enclosed shower and separate tub, water closet and a nice sized master closet. The master bedroom is large with a tray ceiling and the carpet was replaced within the past year. This home has great natural lighting that radiates throughout all of the rooms. The wood floors are the "pretty" old oak type that were put in when these homes were built and they are in GREAT condition. The kitchen has granite counter tops and has been painted a nice shade of gray. All bedrooms are large with plenty of space in the closets. One of the bedrooms is currently being used as a den/entertainment room. Within the last year the interior and exterior has been freshly painted. The lot is HUGE and has plenty of space to play or just relax without being too close to the neighbors. There is an additional storage room/workshop in the back of the property. This place has ample parking too! Stop by to see it, you are going to love it!
