As you pass the wrought iron fence, the covered front porch reminds you of shady summer days. The entrance leads you into a very large front parlor, warmed by hardwood floors and wood details. Large windows fill the space with natural light as they do in nearly every room of the home. Tall ceilings add volume and drama, and the large entryways that lead from room to room enhance the spaciousness and flow. There is a half bath on this level that once had a shower and can easily be turned back into a full bath.
The kitchen is bright, updated and complete. You’ll appreciate the 42 inch cabinetry, and of course all the appliances are included. There is direct access to the dining room, which is large enough to accommodate the entire family or perfect for formal dinners. Also off the kitchen is the breakfast room with a matching wooden banquet. The rear kitchen door leads to a screened in room. Great for outdoor entertaining or eating crabs. There is also a large portion of deck that is open and ideal for barbecues and cookouts. With all the trees and mature landscaping, you might easily feel as though you live in a wooded retreat.
The wooden staircase in the front parlor leads up to the 2nd floor. At the top of the stairs are French style doors. Here you’ll find 3 large bedrooms and a full bath. The master bedroom has a double closet. For added storage there is a walk in cedar closet in the hall. The 4th bedroom, quietly tucked away on the 3rd floor makes for a great office or a teen’s room.
On the lower level you will find a finished family room with daylight basement windows. The floor was raised and insulated. With built ins and plenty of room, the space lends itself to a multitude of possibilities. There is also a workshop-hobby room, and a laundry room located on this level.
Nearly the entire home has had the plaster walls removed in order to insulate the walls and new drywall installed. Even the extended parlor has blown in insulation in the ceiling. And nearly all the windows in this home have been replaced with energy efficient thermal windows. New plumbing and electric were also installed throughout the home and a new furnace.
There is easy street parking, but with the 2 car garage you have off street parking for 4 vehicles. The Man Cave (work shop), is located on the 2nd floor of the garage and has ground level access from the rear yard.
This incredible home is located in the highly sought after neighborhood of Lauraville... Live minutes from downtown, with quaint neighborhood shopping, restaurants and entertainment. There are also several major bus lines around the corner and easy access to I-95 and the beltway.
