Inside, 2,230 square feet unfolds with grace a newer home can't fake. A grand staircase anchors the entry. The large living room features a decorative fireplace and flows into the den-sunroom overlooking the backyard. The updated kitchen boasts stainless appliances and beautiful stone countertops.

Out front, a dogwood tree drapes gracefully over the yard alongside two stunning crepe myrtles and lush mature landscaping — the kind of curb appeal that stops traffic. And out back, a covered porch perfect for rocking chairs and cookouts leads to a storybook garden. A path crosses a decorative stream bed and climbs to a private raised meadow shaded by mature trees. It's less a yard, more a world.

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a large en suite with vanity area and a walk-in closet with a custom closet system. A second bedroom's built-in cabinets and fold-out sewing desk make the dreamiest craft room or kids' workspace imaginable. The third bedroom charms with built-in shelves, plantation shutters, and a window seat - the perfect reading nook or a sweet first bedroom for a little one.

The vintage charm is real and the bones are impeccable. Move in and love it as-is - or make it entirely yours.
