About This Home

As of May 2025

Nestled in the heart of the sought-after Bluff Park School District, where winding roads meet towering trees, a charming brick home awaits its next story. Built with the timeless charm of the mid-1970s, this spacious 2,000+ sq. ft. retreat offers the warmth of hardwood floors and the comfort of large, inviting rooms. Step inside, where a soaring cathedral ceiling crowns the great room, filling it with light and life. A private bedroom wing offers a peaceful escape, while the level yard beckons for quiet mornings and lively afternoons. The attached two-car carport keeps you sheltered from the rain, and a separate storage building holds all your treasures. Here, every corner hums with the promise of home—laughter echoing in the great room, the scent of a favorite meal drifting from the kitchen, and the quiet joy of a space that simply feels right. The key is waiting. Are you ready to turn the page?
