This updated farmhouse sits on a lush, professionally landscaped 1/2 acre, so private but just a stone's throw to Wilson Farms, public transportation, and the Bikeway. A big open kitchen with top appliances like a 6-burner Thermador range, custom cabinetry and sizable butcher block counters with seating leads to a spectacular great room centered on a gas fireplace, with windows overlooking park-like grounds. Above it is a light-filled luxurious primary suite with vaulted ceilings, big windows, a fireplace & a modern spa-inspired bath. Upstairs are 3 more charming bedrooms and another full bath. The main level has a home office with a separate entrance + a 1/2 bath that could easily convert to a bedroom suite. A den with a 1/2 bath would make a great playroom or office. Outside in the wonderful backyard is a bonus building with a stone fireplace & cathedral ceilings, a screened-in lodge perfect for entertaining or lounging with a book. Dream away in this storybook charmer.
