Entering the home from the backdoor takes you through the mudroom, a busy familys dream come true. This large space is outfitted with an apron sink, full washer and dryer area, vertical storage and a bench seat for wriggling in and out of coats and boots. There is space for pet crates and food bowls, with plenty of room for DIYers to store supplies and projects in progress.

The sunny kitchen is steps away, dressed in white tile and marble to reflect the light. A large island is at the center of it all, just the right distance from the stainless steel refrigerator, apron sink and professional six-burner range. This creates ideal work zones that accommodate multiple people at one time. A formal dining area is nearby, so those preparing food can still see, hear and join in the dinner-table talk. A flexible sitting area is also here, overlooking the backyard and ready for literally anything a sitting area, homework zone, play room you name.

Past a preserved 1940s built-in telephone nook is a private study and spacious living room with enough square footage for multiple seating zones. Build a conversation area around the gas fireplace or the bay window looking out over the front yard. The choice is yours.

A guest bedroom has east-facing windows and a walk-in closet. The guest bath is outfitted in original tile, a value-added treasure and a must for homes in this neighborhood. Down the hallway and past the spare closet, you come to the primary suite. Recent renovations have brought it into the 21st century. Big enough for a king-size bed, the room still has the original walk-in closet, but its augmented by a new, enormous walk-in closet off the primary bath. This way, there is enough storage for clothing and off-season items. A new frameless shower with marble tile is large and inviting, while a matching vanity offers plenty of storage and is a fitting complement to this timeless, traditional home.

For entertainment, you cant ask for a better location. Walk to sports and leisure at nearby Tietze Park, which offers playgrounds, walking trails, tennis and basketball courts, and a community pool. The nightlife of Lower Greenville is just down the street, and family-friendly shopping and dining in Lakewood is a few minutes drive away. Commuters appreciate this neighborhood for how quickly one can access I-75 and downtown, but wherever youre going, the daily drive is gorgeous and the convenience is truly beautiful.
