Price Improvement $20K!! Hello and welcome to one of the largest homes in Austin Ridge at 4,875 sq. feet where a little vision can mean great opportunity with tremendous value. Seller has removed carpet throughout home and is in the process of installing new - just waiting for new buyers to approve carpet color.
As you pull into the driveway, you will be greeted by the fragrant lilacs in the spring, a gorgeous Japanese maple and a beautiful, front porch 3-level home in the prestigious Austin Ridge' neighborhood in North Stafford! This classic Southern open floorplan with wrap around large front porch welcomes you to enjoy a slower suburban lifestyle with a sweet tea in hand. In the front gardens you will find fragrant red, yellow and pink roses, seasonal spring daffodils, crocuses and tulips.
As you open the front door you are greeted with cathedral ceilings and hardwood floors in the two-story foyer. To the right you will find the den/library/office area and a powder room. To the left, a formal living room which opens to the formal dining room (perfect for entertaining and holiday celebrations). The formal dining room opens to the large sunny country kitchen, a farmhouse island with cooktop, a large kitchen pantry, and a breakfast bar. The breakfast room off the kitchen has a sliding glass door that leads to the back deck for a relaxing break amongst mature trees, possibly to read a book while your children or grandchildren swing on the swing set (conveys with the property), or maybe a glass of wine, something on the grill and an evening under the stars with a gorgeous view of the moon when she is full.
As you re-enter the breakfast room, you will encounter the family room with a cozy wood burning fireplace - the perfect place for your Christmas tree, host movie night, watch the big Game/Boxing match! Off the breakfast room, is the convenient main level laundry/mud room and the Door to the Oversized 2-Car Garage.
