If you are looking for an inviting, older home that defies its age, look no further! This home has been cared for by its meticulous owners for 36 years. There's been no deferred maintenance here! This well-maintained open plan home has the living, dining, kitchen, and breakfast areas opened up to create a large space that flows easily from one area to another. Two richly-stained cypress posts and beam provide support in lieu of the wall. A separate, sunken den with a brick fireplace, wood floors, and vaulted ceiling opens from the dining room and also, through double doors, opens to the large, mortarless brick patio. The living and dining areas have their original oak floors. The living area has large windows looking out to the front porch. The kitchen has new countertops, a new deep, double sink, and a built-in, glass-fronted china cabinet above a coffee/microwave counter. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and private bathroom while the two guest bedrooms each have a wide, reach-in closet, and share a hall bathroom. In the hallway there is a reach-in linen closet and a walk-in coat closet with upper storage shelving. The attic over the bedroom wing and the living/dining spaces is floored and has LED lights and electric outlets. The fourth bedroom is small and features a step-down entry, a built-in, single, captain's bed with six deep drawers below, ceiling-high wooden shelving above, and a desk area. The room is currently being used as an office. The laundry room features two ceiling-high pantry cabinets, wall-to-wall cabinets over the washer/dryer, an outside door to the carport, and a door out to the brick patio. It also has a concealed doorway into the fourth bedroom, giving that bedroom complete privacy. The yard has been professionally landscaped and features five mature shade trees, large flowerbeds, a new brick patio and an underground stormwater drainage system. The property is conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, a public park with walking trails and tennis center, recreation, and schools. UMMC and St. Dominics are only about a 10-minute drive away with quick access to I-55.
