Enter into a spacious foyer, perfect for parking a stroller or dumping your laptop bag at the end of the day, adjacent to the attached garage, large storage area and laundry room. Upstairs, the sun-drenched main living space with large living room, eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar and convenient first-floor powder room features gleaming hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a dramatic stone fireplace and sliding glass doors leading to a lovely rear deck. On the next floor you will find two good-sized bedrooms and a spacious hall bath with double vanity, and the entire top floor houses the master suite with soaring ceilings, closet-space galore, an oversized whirlpool tub, skylights and separate stall shower. In addition to the garage, there are two parking spaces directly across from the front door. Located in the desirable James Dobson elementary school catchment area and within a mile of highly-rated Academy for Middle Years private school and Green Woods charter school; super-close to Main Street shopping, dining and nightlife; and minutes from Ivy Ridge regional rail station.
