What's special
The perfect combination of a stunning home and versatile accessory dwelling unit truly does exist! Welcome to 288 Walnut Crest, a beautifully updated property nestled in the highly desirable Livingston Farms community. Known for its scenic walking trails, playground, community gathering areas, and inviting shared spaces, Livingston Farms offers a welcoming atmosphere designed for an active, connected lifestyle. This exceptional property provides the space, flexibility, and community setting buyers have been searching for. This thoughtfully upgraded home features refinished ceilings, fresh paint throughout, and updated lighting, fans, door hardware, and blinds. Wood flooring runs through the main living areas, including primary suite, complemented by carpet in the three bedrooms, while custom closet shelving and dimmer-controlled lighting add both function and comfort. The kitchen has been enhanced with a redesigned pantry to maximize storage and includes a full suite of stainless steel appliances. All bathrooms have been fully renovated, including the primary suite, full bath, and half bath, offering a clean and modern feel throughout. Major systems have been carefully maintained and upgraded.
