This exceptional R.C. Peoples custom-built colonial offers exceptional space, inside and outside, for comfortable living and for recreation. The cul-de-sac 1.32 acre lot is one of the largest in Hickory Woods. Recent improvements include: renovating both upstairs bathrooms, a new pool liner, a new retaining wall on the back side of the pool, resurfacing the deck (and replacing some deck joists) and adding an owned solar panel electric generating system.

Behind the two-car garage is a spacious mud and bathroom and laundry room area with LVP flooring and a door to the rear deck. The full bathroom was renovated in 2015 and…don’t miss that laundry room!
