VRM: SELLERS WILL ENTERTAIN OFFERS BETWEEN $549,000 AND $575,000. IN-LAW SUITE/APARTMENT || Welcome to a rare, one-owner custom home where every room holds decades of love, memories, and timeless character. Built in 1978 with no expense spared, this ranch-style home sits proudly on 2.6 acres and offers a warm mid-century feel from the moment you arrive. The expansive front yard immediately captures your imagination—picture a sweeping circular drive, private entry gate, and the inviting presence this home could showcase. Step inside the foyer, and to your left you’ll find the formal living room and separate dining room. This is a space full of stories—where a towering Christmas tree once stood in the large bay window and where family celebrations, bridal showers, and holiday dinners took pl ace. A charming 1970s light fixture still hangs in the very spot where a baby grand piano once sat. From here, the flow leads into the kitchen, open to a cozy family room with wood flooring, a gas-log fireplace, and French doors leading out to the covered patio. The kitchen features abundant cabinetry, an island, and a serving window into the breakfast area—perfect for morning coffee with a view of the acreage and pool. Just off this space is a flexible bedroom with closet, ideal for an office, playroom, or guest room. A laundry room and storage area connect seamlessly to the attached two-car side-entry garage. On the opposite side of the home, a split-level design leads upward to the primary suite and three additional spacious bedrooms. The cast-iron stair railings—rescued from a historic Mobile home in 1978—adds a unique touch of heritage. Each bedroom includes built-in drawers in the closets, and a full bathroom serves this wing. The master bedroom is truly impressive—oversized and crafted with a sense of luxury, featuring historic solid brass chandeliers and sconces, intricate details, and a private balcony overlooking the backyard. The fixtures throughout this suite offer a timeless “old money” elegance rarely found today. Take the split level down, and you’ll discover an incredible bonus: a separate living area that can serve as an in-law suite, rental apartment, or private guest quarters. Complete with its own living room, dining area, two bedrooms, full kitchen, full bathroom, and handicap-accessible roll-in shower, this level features French doors for a private entrance and exit. Out back, the property extends to the second fence and overlooks the in-ground liner pool. Landscaping frames the views beautifully, and recent updates include a replaced septic tank and lines, a newer roof, and a new HVAC system for the upstairs level. This home was built with craftsmanship, pride, and vision—and now awaits someone ready to update, personalize, and bring its incredible character back to life. Come see the potential and the memories waiting to be made.
