The family room features a floor to ceiling brick gas fireplace. A screened-in porch accessible from the family room has a ceiling fan and overlooks a beautiful and private professionally landscaped, fully fenced-in backyard, featuring a generously sized brick patio and built-in gas grill, ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. The home has a large, partially finished basement with plenty of storage. Most of the appliances, including washer/dryer, dishwasher, stovetop, refrigerator, oil tank, and other systems have been recently updated and replaced. The bathrooms have been refreshed with new toilets and Corian countertops and the heating and air conditioning system has been well maintained and serviced annually. Home is move-in ready and fully functional, but prime for your personal touches! As an added bonus, the property includes a 6/7 room, 900 square foot flex space accessible either from the house through the garage or via a separate outside entrance. Formerly used as an office, this space is independently temperature controlled, features a ½ bath and additional plumbing. The possibilities for this space are endless! With proper permitting, it could be converted back into an owner-occupied office or used as a work-from-home space, hobby room, or in-law/guest suite. The home has a two-car rear entry garage, but features generous additional parking. It is within easy walking distance of Whitfield Elementary School, Wilson High School, and conveniently located near grocery stores, restaurants, and the Wilshire Pool, which is just across the street. The current owner is significantly downsizing so select furnishings are available for sale.
