About This Home
As of February 2024Absolutely stunning, chopped stone Buffington Home has undergone a light renovation, featuring brand new carpet/pad and paint in many areas. This beautiful plan is 3 large bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a large family room. The kitchen looks over the family room to keep the chef in the party. The master bedroom upstairs is HUGE and the master bath is clean and updated to the hilt. Pleasing paint palettes throughout the home allow the new buyer to just "move in" without any work to do! The extra-large 3-car garage is perfect for dad's workshop and vehicles. Out back, you have a covered patio with separate courtyard paver-brick area for grilling or smokers. The yard is lush, private and has many trees, shrubs, crepe myrtles and flora/fauna to ensure privacy and ease of maintenance. The family room is big and offers comfortable space for entertaining. The home comes equipped with a newer washer AND dryer AND refrigerator! Inground Sprinklers irrigate the yard with new Zoysa sod in front. Hurry on this one, as it is in mint condition.
