About the Listing 6542 - 35767

A welcoming brick paver walkway leads to a large covered front porch with a hanging porch swing, setting the tone for the warmth and charm you'll find once you step inside this home. This beautifully maintained brick home combines timeless character with modern updates, all situated on an expansive 50' x 220' professionally landscaped, fenced lot, expansive brick paver patio, and a two-car, recently structurally redone detached garage. The interior features hardwood floors, solid oak doors, 9' ceilings, and elegant molding throughout. The thoughtfully designed main level offers an inviting flow, beginning with a spacious living room featuring a cozy fireplace. A dedicated first-floor office provides the perfect work-from-home space, while the separate dining room serves as the heart of the home for gatherings and entertaining. The large eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, plenty of counter space, a breakfast bar with seating for 3-4, and additional table space. It opens seamlessly to the bright first-floor family room, which has a large window facing the gorgeous yard, creating an ideal layout for everyday living. A full bath is located on the main level.
