About This Home
As of September 2022Welcome to 972 Thomas Davis Drive! As you approach, you'll notice the curb appeal immediately. Well-landscaped, a long driveway leads to a turned 2 car garage. Get your rocking chairs ready! The front porch is a great place to relax after a long day. Inside, a 2 story foyer greets you with natural light from the large Palladian window, showcasing the hardwood flooring. A traditional Colonial, the foyer is flanked on one side by a convenient home office. French doors lend privacy when you need it. On the opposite side is the formal living room that flows into the dining room. Plenty of room to put the leaf in that dining room table. The powder room has been updated with a pedestal sink. Continuing to the back of the home, a spacious eat-in kitchen is truly the heart of the home. Cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops make it a impressive spot to show off your culinary skills. A center island features bar stool seating too. The vaulted ceiling in the family room delivers an airy feel, especially when paired with the wall of windows. Stay warm this winter with both a fireplace and a wood burning stove. A slider door off of the kitchen leads you to a huge deck, and views of that massive 1.5 acre yard! Framed by mature trees, the versatile lot has an above ground pool, and all of the room you could need. But wait, there's more! The second level of this beautiful home will "wow" you too! Need a retreat? You've got it! The owner's suite offers a vaulted ceiling and a separate sitting area. Bring your wardrobe - there's a big walk in closet to fill. You'll love relaxing in the garden tub in the en suite bath, situated in its own little cove and a large window behind it. A double vanity and separate tile shower are ready to handle your morning routine. 3 additional spacious bedrooms share a full hall bath on this floor. Just outside of Smyrna, you'll have an easy commute and have lots of shopping and dining options nearby. So if your dream home is a spacious home on a large lot, this may be the one!
