Nestled under magnificent grandfather oak trees, this gorgeous, updated home is set back from the street and offers a large semi-circular driveway for ease of parking. You are greeted by a lovely screened front porch, and upon entry into the foyer, an open archway leads to the living room with a stunning stone wood-burning fireplace and many beautifully crafted windows with large casings and tall baseboards along the floor adding to the character and architectural appeal of this home. The plaster walls and ceilings throughout are painted in a soft beige and cream neutral color palette. Artistic plaster medallions surround the ceiling fans in the living and dining rooms. The living room leads into the dining room through a larger, open archway creating a sense of flow between the two living spaces. The additional windows in the dining room make the home light and bright! The entire home has new luxury vinyl flooring throughout, and the fireplace and chimney have been totally rebuilt for safety! Upon entering the large kitchen, there are plenty of original wood cabinets, counter space, custom stone backsplash, as well as a breakfast bar area for morning coffee…This beauty features three large bedrooms (three-way split plan), a full bath, and a half bath in the grand primary bedroom which has dual closets. The third bedroom is currently being used as an office and has a private rear entrance and a nice private back screened porch for relaxation. There is also an oversized 1 1/2 car garage, rear facing. The back yard is fully vinyl fenced and has a large double-gate with alley access to bring in your boat or RV as another entry point to the property. All awnings at windows can be easily removed if desired. Enjoy a short stroll to lovely Fossil Park featuring a lake, walking and fitness trails, playground, tennis and basketball courts, swimming pool, and library!
