Beautifully updated Duke Forest home!

www.2612McDowell.com This beautifully updated and exceptional Duke Forest home has been lovingly maintained and is light and bright on all three levels. With three bedrooms upstairs and two on the lower level, and three full baths, it offers a multitude of flexible uses. And all just a short walk from popular Duke Forest trails. The gracious foyer provides a portal from the street to the heart of the home where large windows stream sunlight into the living room. An open flow between the living and dining areas is perfect for entertaining, especially since the dining room overlooks the deck and private backyard. The home has been impeccably maintained with updated baths and recently updated carpet. Beautiful hardwood floors grace the main level and family room. The open kitchen is a cooks delight with gas cooktop, pantry and plenty of workspace. A butcher block island provides practicality and warmth and the open kitchen/family room assures that the cook will never be lonely. The efficient kitchen layout honors the best practices of kitchen design! A stained glass window enhances the beauty of this room. The family room is actually a cozy den for enjoying a fire on a cold night. A few steps down from the kitchen and you are in the family room. Conversations are easy between the cook and the family. The master bedroom is tucked away toward the rear of the home for peaceful nights and the beautifully renovated master bath features a large tiled shower and updated cabinets and fixtures. The upstairs bedrooms have large windows and lots of light and the hall bath features a tub/shower combo and large vanity area. One of the bedrooms on the lower level is used as an office with built-in shelving and desk as well as direct access outside. The lower level bedrooms feature the same large windows and good light as the upstairs ones. The lower level bath adds in-law suite potential! A side-entry oversized garage provides plenty of storage for vehicles and other belongings, and the large mudroom/utility room is perfect for hobbyists. There is plenty of space for outdoor living as well with a deck and patio overlooking the large and private backyard and rose garden.
