Come home to this charming & private brick traditional home on the Eastside, in the ever-popular Cedar Creek neighborhood! Walking up to this west-facing home, you harken back to traditional charm as you are greeted by a rocking-chair porch where you can enjoy an evening beverage of your choice, while you watch the sun set! Stepping inside, you are greeted by gorgeous original hardwood floors in a traditional federal style home layout. To the left is your large dedicated formal dining room. Not formal eaters? No problem, this room is versatile for all needs! How about a 2nd office, playroom, or music room--sky is the limit! And to the right of the foyer, is your XL formal living room or library with plantation style shutters over the windows, and built-in bookcases flanking either side of a wood-burning fireplace (with gas starter)! Walking to the back you are lead to the heart of the home. A country-style kitchen greets you with Corian countertops, beautiful glass-tile backsplash and creamy white cabinetry with smoky-gray glazing details!
