About This Home
As of June 2025Opportunity awaits with this well preserved & majestically updated Brick Walkout Ranch on coveted River Oaks Drive- South of Grand. The moment you step inside, the Mid Century design elements & fine craftsmanship are capturing. A main level transformation provides a kitchen that any chef would appreciate from the high end Decor gas range, ample quartz counter space, to the full baking station built for the master baker. A custom breakfast bar was seamlessly integrated to provide multifunction & versatility to the space. Opening to the dining area & living room creates an optimal connection & flow to the spaces. Beautifully refinished hardwood floors expand throughout the main level into spacious guest bedrooms & the primary suite. Both the primary & guest baths are timelessly updated with high end finishes & heated tile flooring. The lower level features a rec area along with a large family room with updated direct vent fireplace which makes for a perfect cozy hang out space. Next is the newly remodeled full bath that is nothing short of spa like featuring a soaker tub & heated tile flooring! Adjacent to the bath is a large 4th bedroom. A large utility area w/ ample storage rounds out the walkout lower level. The outdoor living options are endless with a screened in rear porch, large deck along with a patio all overlooking a private wooded setting. Don't miss the custom shed tucked below the porch for all your outdoor storage needs. Home Warranty included for peace of mind!
