Between the exterior amenities and the front porch, there is plenty of reason to stay outside, but the interior exerts its own gravitational pull. This delightful craftsman is ideally situated in Good Hope. Parties and meals that begin on the patio will enjoy a long half-life into the evening around the warm rock fire pit. The expansive yard containing the pair is large and carefully landscaped. A enclosed back porch screens out the insects but welcomes the smell of rain and the sounds of nature. This is a nice spot for relaxing with morning coffee or twilight nightcap. The interior is more than a match for the outdoor features. Engineered Hardwood flooring (entryway and living areas) makes a great first impression every time. The recently updated kitchen -- bathed in natural light -- is in the popular island configuration, maximizing workspace and flexibility. The custom cabinets and lovely granite along with newer appliances are an added bonus. The large owner's suite is conveniently located on the main floor featuring a whirlpool tub, double vanity and separate shower Offering respite, and conveniently located on the ground floor, the remaining 2 bedrooms are ready for your decorative touch. There is also a large bonus room located upstairs. An attached garage is especially convenient in bad weather. This one is available for its original purpose, or you can get creative by treating it as additional flex space. The detached garage and additional outbuilding offer extra parking, storage or the perfect workshop along with a 220v hook up for an RV After your local excursions, you'll return to the practical charisma of classic Craftsman architecture on a cul de sac, in the popular The Preserve development, where the streets are lined by sidewalks and streetlights. Out front, the driveway has ample room for visitors' parking. Someone's going to be very happy here . . . let it be you!
