This delightful craftsman style home is just blocks from Hampton Park and boasts an open floor plan with hardwood floors, crown molding and an abundance of windows allowing for plenty of natural light throughout. Originally renovated in 2006 but updated recently, the home still has several of the classic features, yet includes many of the modern conveniences enjoyed today. The charming bathroom has quintessential black and white tile and a cast iron tub. The bright and spacious bedrooms are thought to have original hardwood floors. The large kitchen opens to the rest of the living space and features granite counters, ceramic tile and plenty of storage. (Continued...)Off the kitchen is a nice laundry room that leads to the incredible backyard which is expertly designed and perfect for entertaining. The huge deck is complete with built-in benches, a large picnic table, trellis and there is a fabulous outdoor oyster roasting grill (and fire pit). The shed/workshop was renovated and along with plenty of storage for tools, it now includes a semi-finished room which is the perfect creative space for the artist or writer in you. There is even an outdoor shower with hot and cold running water! To top it off, the property is beautifully landscaped. The trellis is laced with muscadine vines. The wisteria vines can be seen creeping up the gorgeous live oak that shades the backyard. There are also camellias, roses, 6 orange trees, 3 fig trees, 3 blueberry bushes, 2 persimmon trees, a loquat tree and an olive tree. This yard just comes to life in the spring and fills the area with sweet aromas, gorgeous flowers and tons of fruit. (The sellers said they had 80 lbs of oranges last year!).

This is a charming, turnkey home in impeccable condition. Because of its open floorplan and bright spacious rooms, it lives much larger than its size. It is currently owned and occupied by two architects who have created a very pleasing and comfortable residence. They have retained many of the homes's classic features while completely reworking the kitchen and making the backyard into another wonderful private living space. This home has hardwood floors except in the kitchen and bathroom which are of ceramic tile, crown molding throughout, and solid wood five panel doors. The gourmet kitchen which is open to the living and dining room has beautiful maple cabinetry, granite countertops, recessed lighting and upscale appliances. There is a deck and patio in the private backyard which are shaded by two grand oak trees. It is the perfect place for entertaining or quiet enjoyment. 31 Gordon St is within easy walking distance of restaurants, grocery store, and Hampton Park. This is the best home on the market under $300,000. If you take a look at the inside and the backyard, you will agree. Age and square footage from tax records, buyer to verify. Storage shed in rear corner with covered work station.
