This is a rare opportunity for an affordable turn-key 3 bedroom home in the sought after Myrtle Grove area. Waterford Place is a charming neighborhood with mature trees, yet it is still centrally located within 2 miles of the Monkey Junction intersection which includes Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Target (opening soon), and tons of smaller shops and restaurants. Waterford Place does not have an HOA and it is not located within city limits. That means no city taxes, and no restrictive covenants to pay for. Perfect for a low overhead investment, or for homeowners looking to minimize their recurring expenses. The lot has a spacious fenced in backyard with mature oak trees, fire pit, and a paved patio. Recent updates include a new HVAC system installed in 2025, new lvp flooring, new light fixtures and ceiling fans, and fresh paint throughout. The home is also covered with a healthy roof with architectural shingles installed in 2015. 223 Brighton has all of the features you need at the price you are looking for. Book your showing today.

R-10
Residential-10 District
The purpose of the Residential-10 (R-10) District is to provide lands that accommodate new residential neighborhoods and encourage the conservation of existing residential lots and neighborhoods. Neighborhoods in the R-10 District are relatively low density in character and include a limited mix of single family and duplex housing types. If public water is not available, the water system infrastructure must be installed in accordance with County standards and connected when a public supply becomes available. R-10 district lands may be established in proximity to neighborhood or community commercial districts to encourage the establishment of walkable development patterns.
