Wonderful home in Newington Plantation with nice upgrades. This home is situated on a nice corner lot and has been lovingly maintained and tastefully updated. The large family room has a gas fireplace and lots of windows providing natural light. It leads directly to a separate dining room that would be perfect for entertaining family and guests. The eat-in kitchen has attractive tile flooring, granite countertops, tile backsplash, an island for additional dining, and stainless appliances. The master bedroom is located downstairs and overlooks the full front porch. A well-appointed master bathroom has double vanities, tiled flooring, a large jetted tub, and separate tiled shower. The large walk-in master closet has been outfitted with additional shelving and drawers for organization. A tiled laundry room is right off the kitchen and leads to the spacious FROG (considered 4th bdr.) It could be an ideal area for a second family room, home office, playroom, or just a great flex space. There is an awesome sunroom off the kitchen that provides a tranquil setting to relax and enjoy the outdoor views. A mini split system has been installed to provide a comfortable environment year round in the sunroom. The upstairs of this lovely home has two large bedrooms and a full bath. A much appreciated feature of this home is the generous amount of storage for home goods and other misc. items. This wonderful neighborhood is also adjacent to the Sawmill Branch trail for walking and biking. Newington Elementary School is located in the neighborhood, and students can walk or ride their bikes. This would be a great place to call home!

A homes like this doesn't come available often. Here is your chance to own one of those great WRAP AROUND PORCH homes. This is a CUSTOM BUILT home with great features.

Enjoy a large FORMAL DINING ROOM with more SHINING WOOD FLOORS, CROWN MOLDING AND CHAIR RAIL. The roomy kitchen has plenty of CUSTOM CABINETS and LOTS OF COUNTERS including a ISLAND WITH A SNACK BAR that's perfect for bar stools. GRANITE COUNTERS and an under mount sink really set this room off. There's also room for a breakfast table and all of this area has more hardwood floors. The TERRIFIC MASTER SUITE is downstairs and includes a LUXURY BATH with a CORNER JETTED TUB, large SEPARATE SHOWER, separate HIS AND HERS VANITIES and a HUGE WALK IN CLOSET.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE STORAGE IN THIS HOME. In addition to dormer storage, there's also a HUGE WALK OUT ATTIC STORAGE that makes for easy access to all of your little used "stuff". The 4th bedroom would be the BONUS ROOM over the garage. This room doesn't have a closet but it's large enough for one to be added if needed. The room could also be used for MEDIA ROOM, PLAYROOM, or many other functions. Check it out to see how it would work best for you.
