    What's special

    This gorgeous South of Grand home boasts of space and charm. The brick paver driveway and custom front door invite you to the home's space: a generously sized living room and dining room, a large kitchen and half bath round out the main floor. Upstairs are 5 bedrooms: 4 bedrooms and a full bathroom on the second floor and a 5th bedroom with full bathroom in the finished attic. The basement is partially finished basement--which is a huge bonus. Architectural details are found throughout and include original woodwork, quarter-sewn oak floors and painted trim. The home has been featured in Better Homes and Gardens and Midwest Living magazines. There are custom front and back doors, a Spanish tile roof and a two-car Carriage House garage (2004). New outdoor patio and landscaping create an intimate space to entertain.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
