This isn’t just the largest floor plan in Walnut Gardens at 2,310 square feet—it’s a home that’s been loved. For years it was filled with art, laughter, and light, but time has a way of catching up. The matriarch was a scholar and an artist, and you can still feel the creativity and care in the light-filled rooms and the muraled walls. The bedrooms once reading aloud the story of a family are quietly waiting for the next chapter to be written. Hardwood floors carry the echo of family footsteps, while two fireplaces stand ready to gather everyone around their glow. With four bedrooms, three full baths, a finished lower level, and even attic access that so many neighbors have turned into a bonus retreat—this home has room for life to unfold. Outside, the neighborhood feels like something from another time. Towering trees shade the sidewalks, kids ride their bikes to Blackburn Elementary, and neighbors stop to chat on front lawns. It’s a place where community still feels real. And just last month, the whole area was upgraded with Google Fiber. So whether you’re working from home, streaming a movie night, or FaceTiming loved ones far away, you’ll be connected in every way that matters. At night, you'll rest assured under the canopy of your brand new roof that was installed this year. Downstairs, the bonus living space and bedroom are newly carpeted, and you'll find the laundry room and yet another bathroom. This isn’t just square footage and floor plans. The house may be quiet now, but it’s waiting for someone new to see the promise of the future. What it needs now isn’t perfection—it needs love. It needs elbow grease. It needs someone who can see not just what it was and what it is, but what it can become. It’s a home with character, warmth, and heart—the kind of place where memories are made, where stories are shared, and where you don’t just live, you come home. This isn’t just a house. It’s a memory, a canvas, and a promise. With care, it can tell your story.
