OVERVIEW:
The brick veneer and concreteslab home (built in the 70s) is one level except for the 2-story room/garage (potential apartment) at one end,and a 2-story split level at the other end.This home is the largest in its subdivision of only 24 homes. There is only 1 road in and out of thesubdivision, making it very safe for children, and quiet for adults! Though the house is zoned city, the rest ofthe subdivision is in the county, and is a treed community. This property has approximately 1 acresshaded by 38 eighty-foot pines, 2 liveoaks, 2 water oaks, 1 pecan, 1 satsuma, 1 lemon, 1 river birch, 1 magnolia, 1thirty-foot eucalyptus, 2 crepe myrtles,and a few other various trees like sweet gum, bay, etc. The 3-lot property is bordered by a brick andcinderblock fence (being covered by fig ivy) on the street side. All 3 lots are backed by undeveloped, treedlots (and the present owners want to keep them undeveloped). Approximately 5200 sq. ft. heated and cooledby 2 central units (gas heat); another approximately 550 sq. ft. is in the 2ndstory of a 2-story matching building attached to the main house by abreezeway. This large room has acomputer drawing for becoming a free-standing apartment or guest house, but wewill move before that plan can be enacted.At present, this room has 5 large windows and is heated and cooled by anold window unit and wall unit.Underneath is a 3-car garage, tall enough for our 15-passenger van, withstairs leading up to the house-level breezeway. There is also a 16 X 24 storage shed (onconcrete slab) in the back which is painted to match the house, and is suppliedwith lights and electrical outlets. Ithouses the command box for the in-ground automatic sprinkler system. There are flood lights on all corners of thehouse, 2 street lights on the back, halogen floods over the basketball goalarea, and landscape lighting going up trees, walls, and the entrance in thefront (the landscape lighting is on a timer).
WALKING TOUR:
The hall leading to the bedroomshas a linen closet, hall bathroom (newly renovated with tiled tub/shower combo,tiled floor, and poured-marble double sink), and 3 bedrooms (one of which is amaster suite with French doors leading out to a private patio in the back yard) all on the main house level. At thispoint the hall goes into a split level with hardwood steps leading up to 3bedrooms and 2 baths. 2 of thesebedrooms (and the upper hall) have oak parquet floors, each with sliding glassdoors looking over the back yard, with a shared bathroom between them. Across the hall is a newly renovated mastersuite with large windows dressed with beautiful plantation shutters inside andBerber carpet. The bathroom is quitelarge, with oak parquet flooring and room for furnishings such as dresser andchairs. At the bottom of the hall stepsis a French door with hardwood steps leading down to the large finishedbasement. The walkout basement isfloored in quality linoleum and consists of2 rooms painted and wallpapered in coordinating colors. The larger room has 2 large windows to thefront of the house, French doors with a fabric awning which opens onto a largesunken patio, and a fireplace with wood-burning buck stove and blower, withhuge cypress mantel (from a tree my dad felled on his farm in Louisiana). The smaller room has 3 windows looking out onthe sunken patio which wraps around the side and back of this 2-story addition,and is presently a ping-pong or game room.There are also 2 extra large storage areas in the basement.
The drive is newly paved andsealed asphalt, entering the property on the front, right side. It wraps around the right side of the house(down a hill, under and around trees) to enter the basement garage from theback of the house. The drive incorporatesa small loop around the thirty-foot eucalyptus, 3 parking pads at variouspoints, and an area for grilling and basketball. There are stairs inside the garage leading upto the house level as well as a railroad tie and marble rock trail around theside of the garage building which is landscaped with a rose garden on one sideand hydrangea, ferns and various other plants on the other. This ends in the breezeway between the2-story garage and the main house. Fromthe front side of the house, a brick walkway leads from the road to this samebreezeway under a brick arch covered in Confederate Jasmine. From here, double French doors lead into alarge sunroom with windows and French doors comprising the 2 oppositewalls. The floor is oak parquet. Through French doors on the right is a largelaundry room organized for a family of 9 (and dryer hook-ups for gas orelectricity), straight ahead are French doors leading to a back patio, and tothe left is a doorway stepping up into the kitchen. The kitchen was completely gutted and remodeledin 1998 with Italian tile floor, stained oak paneled cabinets, 2 look-throughsover the sink into the sun room (which make a high bar), double ovens, 2 (yes, two!) dishwashers (1year old), an under-cabinet 50 lb. ice maker, glass 5-burner cook top, doubleporcelain sink and garbage disposal, appliance garage, open shelving for canistersand cookbooks, microwave and refrigerator (both included with the house). There is also a low bar on the back side ofthe cook top, and a very large walk-in pantry with shelving and organizers on 3walls.
Off the kitchen is a utilityroom (originally the laundry room, so hookups are still in place) with floor toceiling cabinets, window, and room for extra refrigerator and freezer. The lone bedroom suite (or library/guestroom) is also off the kitchen with 3 large windows and 2 doors -- one from thekitchen and another from the dining room.The dining room is on the front of the house with 2 very large windowslooking out under the front porch (where there is a wicker swing and furniture [includedwith the house]. Another brick walkleads from the road to the front porch steps.)The dining room is 12 x 23 and is large enough to presently house atable and chairs, buffet, china cabinet, sofa, and baby grand piano. A small foyer to the front entrance is at oneend of this room through a large opening which adds depth. The front door is solid walnut with an ovalleaded glass inset. In the foyer, at theopposite end from the front door, is a door which separates it from the familyroom.
The family room is separatedfrom the kitchen only by the low bar and cook top, so it is very open. The family room has a brick fireplace (whichhas been capped) and hearth (with Italian-tiled flooring in front) it nowhouses gas logs, but can be uncapped and turned into a wood-burning fireplaceagain. From the family room you can walkinto the kitchen, dining room, foyer, hall leading to 6 bedrooms and the basement,or go through French doors to an outside patio nestled in an L of the housebetween the family room and the sun room.
