Beautifully Updated Home South of Grand with Direct Trail Access to Waterworks Park. This charming and thoughtfully updated home is ideally located South of Grand and backs directly to the scenic trails of Waterworks Park — offering both privacy and outdoor adventure right from your backyard. The spacious primary suite is located upstairs and features a remodeled full ensuite bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a dedicated space perfect for a home office or nursery. The open-concept main floor includes two additional bedrooms and a fully remodeled ¾ bathroom, making the layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Recently refinished hardwood floors and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. Step outside to enjoy the expansive 750 sq ft deck — a private outdoor retreat perfect for relaxing or hosting guests. Custom upgrades include hurricane shutters on the living room picture window, a beautifully crafted coat closet with a built-in bench and cubbies, and a newly added electric fireplace with custom mantel and hearth. Major system updates provide peace of mind: newer windows, roof, HVAC, and a radon mitigation system are all in place. Additional upgrades include a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen and a whole-house water filtration system installed in 2025. This move-in ready home blends modern updates, character, and an unbeatable location.
