Recently expanded and renovated, this 4BR/2 BA home sits square on its sunny lot in a peaceful midtown neighborhood. A flagstone-and-tile walkway leads through a well-groomed front yard to the cheerful, welcoming charm of the front porch entrance.

Inside, the house is fresh and shiny clean. The glossy hardwood floors reflect the light from tunnel skylights and walls gleaming with new paint. Crown molding, double-paned windows and recessed lighting throughout the house add elegance and comfort. The new, expansive kitchen gleams with recent appliances and tiled counters and floor, and is large enough to boast built-in pantry storage and a spacious eat-in breakfast area. Just beyond is a separate dining room illuminated by a formal chandelier fixture and bright skylight.

Two years ago the house was expanded by 50% so that it now showcases a dramatic living room with impressive 10-foot ceiling and light-filled bay window. Sliding double-paned doors lead to the brick-and-tiled patio and new wooden deck, where there is plenty of room for outdoor dining, sunning and relaxing, surrounded by the privacy of flowering vines and fruit trees. New fencing saves on maintenance.

The new master bedroom, also with high ceiling, is equipped with mirrored closet doors and a ceiling fan for a cooling, energy-saving breeze. The adjoining bathroom with full shower/tub has high ceilings and tiled floor for airy comfort and light, and an oversized linen closet for storage. A sliding set of double-paned doors offers access to the back yard for morning coffee on the patio.

For relaxing in comfort, an oversized family room at the front of the home is filled with soft, natural light from a tunnel skylight. The warmth and glow of firelight can be had as well from the formal fireplace with marble surround. Just beyond the family room is a finished garage with convenient laundry area featuring built-in cabinets and a new washer & dryer.

What’s more, it presents the convenience of being fully wired with DSL/internet access. Add to that the new central air conditioning, new plumbing with copper pipes, a new furnace, and a new water heater for a feel of high-quality comfort that will endure.

The ease of this perfect midtown location (right around the corner from Colorado Ave.) allows for pedestrian access to grocery shopping, restaurants and all the midtown stores. Also within easy strolling distance is Greer Park with ball fields and playground area. Your future will look bright from this sparkling gem of a residence.
