About This Home
As of May 2018Fall in love with this beautiful new renovation tucked away on quiet Gorgas Lane in West Mount Airy. This cottage style home on a picturesque block welcomes you with a lovely front garden bordered by a white picket fence. Enter the newly heated/cooled sunporch with new windows where you can let the outdoors in all year round. Through the sunroom, enter into the wide living room highlighted by finished hardwood and a wood burning fireplace. The open floor plan continues to the dining room with new sliding doors to the large rear deck. A newly rennovated kitchen has been opened up providing a breakfast bar and loads of counter space. Upstairs are three ample bedrooms, an updated bath and hall powder room. The full basement provides lots of storage, has high ceilings and a walk out door to the rear driveway and garage. This house has it all: Central Air, new windows and finished hardwood throughout.
