This gem is tucked into the trees a couple of blocks from Malvern Hills Park (with upcoming new pool!) and an easy stroll to Lucy Herrinng Elementary and all of the West AVL amenities on Haywood Road. This place is coveted for its peaceful covered front porch vibes, yet the heart of this home invites comfort and exudes the utmost in quality. Enjoy an open floor plan clad in premium hardwood floors under tall ceilings and fine finishes. The cozy dining area is flanked by a generous living room and a stylish kitchen that begs one to prepare a great meal. Gorgeous white quartz counters span more than adequate cabinetry alongside top-notch KitcheAide appliances. Whether you cook together while friends gather around the island or grill & chill on the private back porch in the trees, dinnertime here aims to please. Too much today? Then venture three blocks for dinner & drinks at The Malvern - your neighborhood watering hole. The living is easy at 56 Harvard! Send everyone home and retreat to your premium primary suite boasting a walk in closet and en suite bath with a double vanity and deep soaking tub filled with infinite on-damand/tankless hot water. Two additional bedrooms and another full bath round out this perfect floor plan. Great closets, a kitchen pantry, and laundry room give the storage needed inside and there is a basement with a full concrete slab for dry storage just under 6 feet tall. The entire property is fenced and ready for the life you deserve. It's all been refreshed and polished to welcome you home. Your current or future EV is invited too - 240 volt outlet in the driveway ready for Level 2 charging. Be sure to ask for the "Seller's Scoop" and learn what the owners have loved about living here.
