Fantastic opportunity to buy in sought after Riverside Gardens with this expanded split level home. | INSIDE Sweetbriar model is a neighborhood favorite and this one has an expansive family room extension off of the kitchen and dining room with cathedral ceiling and recessed lighting, opening up what is normally a very compartmentalized main level floor plan. Traditional hardwood floors throughout the living spaces add sophistication to the home. Kitchen is light and bright and with granite counters, white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Granite bar becomes a dry bar as it turns the corner to the family room. Pass through window to the formal dining room further opens up the space. Formal living room off the front foyer is perfect for a home office with floor to ceiling built-in bookcases with a built-in window seat between. Down a small flight of stairs to the basement is a recreation room, complete with wood burning fireplace. Around the corner a half bathroom and the laundry room. From the main level and up a similar small flight of stairs are three secondary bedrooms and a hall bathroom. Primary suite is a floor all to itself on the upper level. The primary bathroom with its spa-like finishes will upend your preconceptions of tub/shower combos with its stationary glass partition, leaving the view of dove gray tiling and a leaf-like tile listello accent ever present, a perfect accent to the swirling pattern of the quartz counters atop the double sink vanity. Mini split A/C systems inside help control temperatures in the summer in the primary suite and the family room addition. | OUTSIDE A detached two car garage and additional parking to the left of the garage, allow for plenty of parking. Stylish stamped concrete driveway is just a hint of the hardscaping you will find around the back yard. Enjoy the inviting stamped concrete patio, a highlight of the extensive, privacy fenced yard. Open the double patio doors to the side and patio and create the perfect atmosphere for warm weather entertaining! Mature trees in the back most portion of the yard make the space feel like your own private, suburban oasis. | SPECIAL REQUESTS Seller prefers a 30-45 day closing and rent back to the end of June.
