Nestled within the popular Eagles Pointe neighborhood, this gorgeous, 3-bedroom, 2½ bath home is sure to check all your boxes.
Welcoming you to the home, the rocking chair front porch invites you to enjoy a cool drink and hang out with neighbors of a warm, summer evening. Larger gatherings are easily accommodated inside the house: the vibrant dining room is perfectly suited for any occasion, ranging from holiday meals to dinner parties with friends to casual, weekday dinners—its bank of windows floods the space with natural light, lending a sense of airiness. The living room offers plenty of space, whether it’s for hosting a game night with friends, watching the big game, or simply for you to kick your feet up at the end of the day. The gas fireplace beckons you to spend snowy, winter days cozied up with some hot chocolate and a favorite blanket. Meanwhile, the work from home crowd will enjoy the jewel-toned study which, when you need some quiet time, can be closed off from the rest of the house with elegant French doors. A large window looks out onto the front porch, providing tons of natural light.
Open to the living room, this kitchen makes sure that cooks can still be a part of the action. With its large pantry, abundant cabinet storage, and expansive counterspace, the kitchen offers plenty of space for the home chef’s accoutrements; the gas range features 4 burners and a griddle, making it ideal for both Saturday morning pancakes and fancy dinner party fare—and everything in between. The attached breakfast nook is a relaxed space that surrounded by windows, one of which looks out onto the screened back porch. That large porch, complete with a ceiling fan, is just the place for morning coffee or after dinner cocktails and mocktails or simply listening to the crickets while winding down of an evening. The flat backyard is ready for summer cook-outs, lawn water slides, and catching fireflies; games of catch, cornhole, and horse shoes.
Upstairs, you’ll find a full bath and 2 secondary bedrooms, one of which features a sitting area, as well as a window seat, flanked by two finished “kids’ nooks”—perfect for a game of hide & seek or curling up with a favorite book. The laundry is conveniently located upstairs, making laundry day less of a hassle. The jewel of the second floor is the primary suite: a tray ceiling with ceiling fan, a sitting area, a walk-in closet, and a spacious en-suite bathroom. The bathroom features separate vanities—making busy morning routines less of a potential contact sport. The walk-in shower is ready accommodate the morning hustle and bustle while the separate, jetted soaking tub is ideal for winding down after a long day or a romantic evening in. On-demand water heater means there is no need to negotiate bathing schedules while living here!
