Welcome to this beautifully updated brick home in the desirable Armstrong Circle neighborhood, offering space, character, and exceptional value.
The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a cozy fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and a renovated ensuite bath with new tile flooring, updated countertops, lighting, tiled backsplash, soaking tub, and walk-in shower.
The heart of the home is the open and inviting kitchen, updated with refreshed cabinetry, butcher block countertops, and a new dishwasher—seamlessly connecting the living room, dining area, and expansive family room. The oversized family room, over 450 square feet, offers incredible flexibility for entertaining, a media space, or additional living needs.
The living room also features built-in bookshelves and flows directly to the screened-in back porch, where you can enjoy peaceful mornings overlooking the beautifully landscaped, terraced backyard filled with over 100 plants and flowers.
Upstairs, you’ll find spacious secondary bedrooms with charming arched dormers, window seats, and abundant natural light. The full bath has been updated with a new tub and glass shower door, along with new laminate flooring throughout the second level.
Additional updates include a new roof (2025), fresh interior and exterior paint, updated lighting throughout, a renovated half bath, and a thoughtfully redesigned family entry with custom organization bench and storage. A French drain has also been installed for improved drainage.
The Armstrong Circle neighborhood is known for its timeless charm, featuring beautifully landscaped yards and a mix of classic architectural styles—from sprawling ranch homes to stately residences with grand columns—creating a nostalgic, established setting that feels both refined and welcoming.
This home offers a rare combination of charm, updates, and functionality—all priced to attract immediate interest. Don’t miss your opportunity to own a move-in ready home in one of the area’s most established neighborhoods!
