Move-on-in-ready level living calls from play-perfect lot in Convington's beloved Squire Estates. Quiet, sun-soaked and boasting exquisite updates at every turn. This home lives large thanks to new, uber-durable plank flooring uniting generously-scaled formal & informal spaces. The no-expense-spared & expanded Chef's Center is a study in good taste and pampering finishes with sleek quartz, sparkling stainless, extra deep prep basin and on-point cabinetry opening wide to both formal dining and cozy gathering spaces. Both bathrooms have been tastefully refreshed with quartz, fixtures & lighting, and each bedroom offers plenty of closet space. The backyard, with newly expanded stamped concrete patio & covered lanai, offers endless in-season play and entertaining options. There's room for all the toys here with extra-deep drive & side yard (Boat? RV?), new raised garden beds, plus huge attached garage with dedicated heat and in-built storage. Newer roof, furnace, storage at every turn, exterior paint and so much more. Walkable to parks and Hwy 18 is only 5 minutes away, delivering a breezy commute. This. Is. Home!
