About This Home

As of September 2016

Convenience, country living, and a good value. Its all done on this one! Less than a 1/2 mile to plenty of shopping, highly regarded schools, blue marsh recreational area for boating, fishing, bike riding, horseback trails, and so much more! 1500 sq ft. of living space with room to expand in freshly tiled florida room, and a HUGE walkout basement for another potential 800 sq ft. of living space at your fingertips. Come and enjoy the breathtaking kitchen that had just been completely redone top to bottom. Brand new Shaker cabinetry, granite counter tops, enormous island, tile flooring, tile backsplash, and a color palette that make this area a family favorite. The great room is just off the kitchen making it the perfect area for any gathering. A very large living room faces out on the park-like front yard that has you sitting WAY BACK from the quiet road. 3 bedrooms and 2 FULL BATHROOMS finish off the MAIN floor living area. Laundry is just off the kitchen tucked away behind a pocket door with storage cabinetry and pantry. Out back, you'll find your deck ready for grilling, as well as plenty of room to catch fireflies, share campfires and backyard adventures with all those you love. The owners have taken pride in this home, I SHOULD KNOW... IT'S OURS! We are excited and very proud to pass our home TO YOU!
