Description

Location! One of the last filings of Shenandoah Estates and the backyard neighbor is The Lake at White Oak Subdivision. The kitchen has a corner sink, stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, a large island, and generous cabinetry. The formal dining room could be an office, because the large breakfast room adjoins the kitchen. Four bedrooms and three full baths, with one bedroom and bathroom located in a separate hall, make it perfect as a mother-in-law suite, guest room or home office. Wood floors...Location! One of the last filings of Shenandoah Estates and the backyard neighbor is The Lake at White Oak Subdivision. The kitchen has a corner sink, stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, a large island, and generous cabinetry. The formal dining room could be an office, because the large breakfast room adjoins the kitchen. Four bedrooms and three full baths, with one bedroom and bathroom located in a separate hall, make it perfect as a mother-in-law suite, guest room or home office. Wood floors in the living room, dining room, foyer, hall, and master bedroom. Slab granite countertops in the kitchen and the bathrooms. The living room features a wood burning fireplace with gas starter, surrounding built-ins and a wall of windows. The privacy fenced backyard is made for relaxing, from the covered and open patio to the deck to the gazebo equipped with a ceiling fan and accent lights. The master bedroom has a tray ceiling and walk in closets. The king size master bath has a custom shower plus a separate jetted tub, and his/her vanities. A 30 year roof was installed in 12/2008. A 5 ton HVAC system (inside and outside) is new in 2014, and the 50 gallon water heater is new in 2016. There is also an automatic driveway gate and a storage room/boat port attached to the rear carport. Enjoy peace of mind with a one-year home warranty included in the sale. Flood zone X and has never flooded.
