Welcome home to 198 Hillcrest Dr - a thoughtfully updated all-brick ranch nestled on a lushly landscaped lot in one of Calhoun’s most established neighborhoods. The unique layout of this home offers two floors of distinct living space, each with bedrooms, a kitchen, and living/dining space. Perched on a gentle hill, this stately home boasts undeniable curb appeal with its manicured lawn, mature trees, and elegant exterior featuring the always classic black shutters and white trim on red brick. Step onto the welcoming front stoop and into the main floor of a home full of warmth and character. Large windows line the front of the spacious open-concept living area, filling the interior with natural light while offering views of the sloping front yard. The vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, exposed beams, and wide-plank hardwood floors set a cozy, upscale farmhouse tone. A large, custom kitchen island anchors the heart of the home, set off by stainless steel appliances, brick backsplash, and industrial-style pendant lighting. The dining area, enhanced by natural light and shiplap walls, flows effortlessly into the cozy living space. Near the kitchen exists a mudroom / “drop zone” area, pantry, and laundry room. Still on the main level, the primary suite occupies nearly the entire opposite end of the house, comprised of a large bedroom with a generously over sized walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom featuring double sinks, custom tiled shower, and heated tiled floors. The secondary bedroom on this main floor has hall access to a full 3-piece bath. Down the centrally located stairs you’ll find the lower level which could be as separate or as combined a living space as you desire – because down here, there’s another full kitchen, living and dining space, built in Murphy bed, two rooms that could be set up as bedrooms, AND another beautifully executed full bathroom with custom finishes. The possibilities are limited only by your preference because this walk-out lower level could easily function as in-law quarters or an enviable teen suite. There’s also unfinished space, great for storage or for future finishing. The backyard is a mostly blank slate ready for the next owner to determine the direction it can go. Already existing is a small fenced section of grassy yard, and a patio with string lights reminiscent of your favorite cafe. Lots of driveway parking adjacent to the 1-car garage. Whether you're looking for a move-in-ready home or one with potential to flex spaces to meet your unique needs, this property combines good bones, stylish updates, and a highly desirable setting. Located in a quiet, established neighborhood, you're just minutes from schools, parks, hospitals, and a thriving small town downtown that hosts shopping, block parties, parades, and holiday celebrations.
