Property Description

Welcome home to this timeless two-story brick beauty in Old Dorsey Place, where classic charm, generous space, and fresh updates come together beautifully. From the soaring two-story foyer to the warm family room with exposed beams, built-ins, and a brick fireplace, this home is full of inviting spaces that feel both comfortable and full of possibility. Freshly painted inside and out, with brand-new neutral carpet throughout the home's carpeted areas, hardwood floors throughout the entire first floor, new landscaping, a new garage door, and a freshly painted deck, the home feels crisp, clean, and truly move-in ready. The foyer creates a lovely first impression, flanked by a formal dining room with a picture window on one side and a living room on the other. Pocket doors lead from the living room into the family room, where exposed wood beams, custom built-ins, a brick fireplace, and a wall of windows across the back make the space feel especially warm and welcoming. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, two pantries, and seating at the counter, while the vaulted breakfast nook opens to a two-tier deck and fenced backyard. It is an easy setup for everyday living, whether you are enjoying a quiet morning coffee, helping with homework at the counter, or hosting friends and family outside. All four bedrooms are upstairs, including a spacious primary suite with a vaulted ceiling, custom built-ins surrounding the back window, and a peaceful view of the backyard. The bath is generously sized with a skylight for natural light, double vanity, makeup area, jetted tub, separate shower, water closet, and linen closet. The enormous closet offers so much flexibility, with room to create a dressing area, add an island, or simply enjoy the extra space. Neutral colors and clean finishes throughout make it easy to move right in while also giving the next owner a great opportunity to add their own style over time. A finished basement adds even more flexibility for work, play, or relaxing, with one wide-open space that could be used for a media room, game room, playroom, workout area, office, or a mix of all of the above. A dedicated first-floor laundry room with access to the backyard and a tucked-away powder room near the garage add everyday convenience, and major updates like a 5-year-old roof, replacement windows, and a new water heater in 2024 add peace of mind. Set in one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods, this is a home with great bones, fresh updates, and plenty of room to personalize over time—easy to fall for and even easier to imagine making your own.
