Property Description
Located in the highly sought-after Maroa-Forsyth School District, this spacious home offers both comfort and convenience—just minutes from Highways 51 and 72, as well as local shopping and dining. Built by the parents of the current owner, this home boasts generations of love and care! Most major updates have been completed since 2020 (roof, most windows, slider door, kitchen and bathrooms). The upper level features an open-concept layout with a beautifully remodeled kitchen, complete with a large island, custom soft-close cabinetry with convenient pull-out shelves, gas stove, pantry, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room. You’ll also find an inviting family room with fireplace, and three bedrooms, including a private primary suite with a newly added en-suite bathroom. The large deck overlooks a level, fenced backyard, complete with a newer custom-built shed, another storage shed and a dog house. The walkout lower level provides even more living space with a generously sized rec room, full bath, and additional rooms that offer great potential for more bedrooms, a home office, or hobby space. The laundry area could be made into a spacious custom laundry room if desired! Enjoy the outdoors relaxing on the shaded back paver patio, or play hoops on the expanded concrete front driveway area. So many possibilities for this home! Priced under appraised value and ready for its new owner to add their personal style!
