Be the envy of the Gillespie Park community in this totally reimagined home. From floor to ceiling you will be in awe of the designer finishes that have been created for this downtown oasis. New cabinetry throughout with stunning high-grade granite counters, and profile counter to ceiling tile. The luxury plank flooring is accentuated with new custom baseboards. The barn wood accent walls are a real wow factor around the decorative built-in fireplace. Enjoy the stunning spacious and bright bathroom with a built-in Bluetooth speaker system. The new roof and air handler are both under warranty for years of worry-free living. The exterior of the home is a Hardie board material which is very low maintenance and bug resistant. There is also a tankless hot water system for added energy efficiency. Walk out the back door into your own fenced sanctuary, freshly landscaped with beautiful flowers and shrubs. Enjoy quiet evenings sitting by the fire pit, yet all while being able to walk to downtown restaurants and nightlife.
