About This Home

As of April 2023

So many fantastic things to say about this property! Located in the peaceful Long Branch neighborhood with a community lake. This listing truly is one of a kind with all of the custom updates & finishes inside and out. The large lot has been meticulously landscaped with custom fencing/decorations, brick patio, fireplace, fire pit with swing, a large garden area, landscape lighting, & a fabulous custom-built workshop with a dog pen built by the woods. So much privacy & character surrounds you & makes you feel like you are out in the country but still so close to I65, restaurants & shops. In the past 4 years the sellers completely updated the kitchen, updated bathrooms, hardwoods on the main level, painted all rooms, put in plantation shutters, HVAC for upstairs & mini split downstairs. New back deck with a gorgeous, pitched roof! New hot water heater & so much more. This listing really is something very special & hard to compare to anything you've seen before! Open House 3/5, 2-4.
