Built a mere eight years ago by Greenbriar Homes, this picturesque farmhouse exudes a relaxed feel. From the rocking chair front porch, the garage attached by a covered breezeway, to the very private backyard pool, these thoughtful features are a collection like no other. The interior has an earthy feel with its engineered wood floor and pine plank accent ceilings in multiple rooms, as well as the brick fireplace. Loads of light through the transom windows atop the custom wood shutters. Kitchen has light quartz counters, bar seating, tasteful tile backsplash, stainless steel farmhouse sink…and is fully open to the living and dining areas. Living space has hidden bench storage and direct French door access to the house-length screen porch. The outdoor amenities abound with the brick paver screened porch overlooking the pool with its double spillover fountain bowls, the tall green screen surrounding the whole backyard. Downstairs primary and upstairs secondary bedrooms keep things compartmentalized for a balanced family life, or work-from-home set up. Metal roof, plus the gas-powered tankless water heater, stove and fireplace allow for more energy efficiency. This abode is located steps from the community garden and mini-farm, although there is plenty of room for more planting on the house grounds. HOA dues cover impressive entryway and aforementioned common areas. While the rural feel is maintained, the location is deceptively close to town: 15 minutes to Southwood shopping including Publix, Starbucks and restaurants, and 16 minutes to Governor’s Square Mall and Apalachee Parkway shopping.
