This brick and slate colonial is quintessential Westover Hills. With hardwood floors, handsome trim, a beautiful fireplace and built-ins, it has 1930s charm that's hard to beat. Gracious formal rooms downstairs and a large kitchen with breakfast nook and pantry offer a convenient lifestyle. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, including a primary suite with full, renovated bathroom and an adjacent walk-in closet (owner converted the fourth bedroom into a Closet Factory-designed closet). There are two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom on this level. The walk-out basement is finished on one side as a media room with half bathroom - a great place for entertaining, playing, or exercising. The other side of the basement is home to the laundry area with new washer and dryer and a utility sink. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. Two sunny screened-in porches lead to the fenced-in back yard and patio. There is also a paved parking area beyond the fence, and a new shed. Other features include: a whole house generator, 2-zoned gas heat, a new ADT security system, and custom plantation shutters. Walk to the River, restaurants, breweries and all the new hot spots along the Forest Hill corridor!
