The main level features recently refinished hardwood floors throughout, a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace and custom shelving, two generous bedrooms with large closets, and a vintage full bath with a vanity and newer marble countertop. A formal dining room and eat-in kitchen provide excellent entertaining space. The refreshed kitchen includes new quartz countertops and backsplash, new oven and refrigerator, refreshed cabinetry, and new range hood. Just outside, the kitchen opens to an impressive 600-square-foot maintenance-free deck overlooking a tranquil water feature with a pond and waterfall cascading from the upper-level screened Japanese-inspired tea house or kids gnome house into the beautifully landscaped backyard. From the exterior, you would never guess the expansive upper level hidden within the home. The primary bedroom offers excellent ceiling height and includes the ensuite three quarter bathroom, two walk in closets, a gas fireplace, plenty of room for a private sitting area, abundant storage, new carpeting, and a new mini-split heating and cooling system. A private upper deck overlooks a peaceful hillside filled with ferns and mature trees backing up to the hilly woodland. The finished lower level includes a second wood-burning fireplace in the spacious family room, ideal for media nights, teenagers, or a music studio. Soundproofing material has been added between the floor beams to enhance acoustics and privacy. With direct exterior access, the lower level also offers potential as a fourth bedroom. Plumbing for a future third bathroom — including sink, shower, and toilet connections — is already in place adjacent to the laundry area. See supplements for the complete list of 2024–2025 improvements, including new appliances, driveway repairs, an updated electrical panel, interior painting, kitchen updates, insulation improvements, tree removal, and mini-split installation. This was truly a well-loved home with only 2 owners in the last 36 years. Close to Trader Joe’s at Randolph, Mississippi Market on West 7th,, Highland Nursery, Summit Brewery, numerous eateries and coffee shops!
