About this home

The gorgeous yard surrounding this Edgerstoune neighborhood home reawakens each spring with copious blooms, flowering trees, a formal garden and lush lawn that adjoins the Hun campus mall, where locals are welcome to play ball or catch some rays. New windows provide a clear view of all this beauty from the unexpectedly open interior, which is loaded with character and useful built-ins. The living room has a traditional fireplace, while the family room has a wall of sliders and an uninterrupted flow into the breakfast room. A Viking range and granite slab backsplash are the statement-makers of the white kitchen. A lower bonus room with a wall of deep storage is flexible in use and well-lit by full windows. Just above are 3 bedrooms with hardwood floors and a hall bath. The huge, skylit main suite will astonish and delight with a cathedral ceiling, a bright bath equipped with a seamless glass shower, and 2 customized closets, one a walk-in! A 2-car garage completes the package. Don’t delay… in such an enviable location, this one is sure to go fast!
