Picture the first night. Up the front steps, you step into an entry with a floating shelf and a brass sconce. Keys go down. The whole first floor opens up in front of you, front to back, with wide plank floors running the full length.The living room is where you land. A linear electric fireplace glows in a floor-to-ceiling textured surround, framed by picture frame molding. Friends stop by. There's a powder room right on this floor for guests. Morning starts in the kitchen. Coffee on quartz countertops. White shaker cabinets, glass-front uppers and under-cabinet lighting across a handmade-look tile backsplash. Breakfast on a gas range under a chimney hood. Open the back door and you're on a private patio with no alley behind it. Add some privacy fencing and it's all yours. At night you head upstairs. The horizontal-bar railing leads the way, and cove lighting glows along the hallway ceiling. The primary suite sits at the front of the house. Three bay windows bring in the morning light. A charcoal paneled accent wall, lit by a brass picture light, sets the mood. The primary bath has a skylight overhead, a backlit arched mirror and a walk-in shower behind a sliding glass door. Two more bedrooms and a hall bath complete the floor. Then the weekend comes, and everyone ends up in the basement. A built-in media wall holds a second fireplace, with a slatted wood panel and lit shelving on both sides. The wet bar is set up. The beverage fridge is cold. The game is on, and the built-in speakers carry it through the whole house. When the night runs late, guests get the fourth bedroom, with an egress window and a full bath right next door. And the things you'll never have to think about? A new roof and new HVAC. The whole house is renovated. 4 bedrooms. 3.5 baths. About 1,620 square feet. $310,000. The house is ready. The rest of the story is yours.
