About This Home

As of March 2024

Just beyond an idyllic white picket fence, this 3+ bedroom 2 bath traditional Upper Rockridge home is sure to captivate. The welcoming front porch overlooks a pristine, fenced-in front lawn and is a lovely spot to chat with neighbors and friends. Inside, hardwood floors, natural light and charming architecture set the stage. The living room with fireplace is the perfect place for game night, movies and conversations. The kitchen opens to a breakfast nook overlooking the front yard as well as a formal dining room. The laundry room opens to the back yard with level lawn and plenty of space for relaxation, gardening, play or room to roam for man’s best friend. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths include the primary suite. Downstairs, a non-conforming bonus room provides potential for office, play room or guest suite. Plenty of storage space and a large garage adds utility and convenience. Location, style and tremendous added potential combine to make 496 Florence a smart choice for the shrewd homebuyer.
