Live a life of sophisticated luxury with the upgrades already made for you in this Downing Creek gem. Pristine from inside to out, from gorgeous hardwood floors to fiber cement siding, from custom Wainscoting to patio flagstones & from cool light fixtures to sparkling Quartzite kitchen counters. Take a deep breath & relax in comfort. The main level hosts the social rooms including a kitchen that inspires creativity with a dual fuel range & plenty of prep & cabinet space, where culinary creations can be enjoyed in the breakfast nook by the bay window, the formal dining area, or al fresco on the screened porch. Entertain by the grand fireplace in the living room, or on the back deck & patio with a dedicated gas grill line. Upstairs, hardwoods were added to the hall & primary bedroom, which has a lovely custom bathroom & walk-in cedar closet. 3 additional bedrooms, one currently used as an office, & an adorable flex space on the 3rd floor make this house wonderfully livable. Outside is nicely landscaped, has a small garden area & a fabulously prolific fig tree. Great neighborhood with recreational amenities & optional pool & tennis/pickleball club membership. Come see why Downing Creek refers to itself as ''quiet living in the heart of it all''.
