The upstairs was recently carpeted. It has three additional spacious bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet. There is a unique cubby attached to one bedroom. Follow the catwalk that overlooks the kitchen area to the extra-large bonus room that has enough room for your exercise equipment, hobby area, and a place to watch your favorite show on TV. The yard is a mini arboretum. Relax on your expansive rocking-chair front porch and enjoy the gardenias, Japanese maples, Spanish bluebells, and a variety of summer perennials. Enjoy the views from the sunroom of the koi pond, patio, and the azaleas, phlox, and summer perennials.
