Description

BACK ON THE MARKET AT NO FAULT OF THE SELLERS! You don't want to miss this rare opportunity! Located in Walnut Grove School district or George Walton Academy is just right down the street! This gorgeous home is sitting on 3+ acres nestled on a quiet street in Monroe, yet you're just a golf cart ride away to all that Historic Downtown Monroe offers. This meticulously maintained, home checks all the boxes. You're greeted by the rocking chair front porch which leads you into the 2-story foyer area. Beautiful hardwood flooring is found throughout the main floor and upgraded crown molding is found throughout the home. A large dining room with a coffered ceiling and wainscoting is located to your left upon entry. The family room with stone fireplace is open to the kitchen area complete with a large island/breakfast bar and an eat-in breakfast area. Wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless appliances and a large pantry round out this beautiful kitchen. Down the hall is a full bath and your own "locker room" complete with a massive built-in storage unit/butlers pantry. This space could also be used as an office! The laundry room has entry out to the single-car garage, while there's a separate entry to the 2-car garage. The owners suite is located on the main floor and includes a large sitting area off the bedroom, separate walk-in closets, large tiled shower, garden tub and double vanities. Upstairs you'll find 3 more large bedrooms, with vaulted ceilings, large closets and 2 more full baths. The spacious loft area upstairs can be used as a media room or an exercise area! Downstairs, there's a full unfinished basement(stubbed), ready for you to finish it as you wish. The exterior of this home has been as meticulously maintained as the inside of the home. So many different entertaining areas to host all your family and friends. Starting with the upstairs large outdoor area, that's complete with trex decking as well as under-decking. A large concrete patio area with ceiling fan is located downstairs, right off the basement. You'll spend many nights and early mornings enjoying a warm fire by the gorgeous 10 ft. tall stone fireplace, complete with 2 firewood boxes, and a 16.5 ft x 16.5 ft concrete sitting area. It's absolutely stunning! And for the little ones, there's an amazing full playground, just waiting for them to explore all the fun stuff. Along with extensive landscaping, sprinklers and high end lighting that's been installed in the backyard, you can sit back and enjoy your home with peace of mind! And with all new interior paint this home is literally, Move-in ready!

    "It is not a major thing for us to see dogs around, but those who do have dogs do seem to fully enjoy their ability to have the dog out without neighbors being fearful. They do clean up after their dogs and take care to keep them caged whenever it is necessary."

    "we have family movie nights for free, we have a hammock park where many can swing at once. We're blessed with most church denominations you can think of, a really hilly dog park so both you & your dog can exercise. it's a little too far from most of our family & friends but other than that, it's awesome!!♥️♥️😁"
