When you drive up to this week’s Highlight Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters of First Horizon, you might have a few first impressions. It might be the large, verdant lawn and setting, or the adorable midcentury style of the home, or maybe the stylish curved driveway. You might not immediately wonder where the front door is, but you’d need to because you can’t see it from the front.
If you follow the walkway around to the left, you might admire the architecture of the midcentury home, and assume that you’ve arrived at the front door to the right, but you’d be wrong. (That’s a cute little patio where you might enjoy a cuppa of an evening.)
You’d need to wander a little further down that walkway, past the “1502” marker and between the two white structures where you’d at last come to the front door.
So when I say it has a “secret” door, what I really mean is it’s a private door, and isn’t it cool?? This home is just bursting with cool for the right buyer, and I totally love it.
See what I mean? The phrase “entertainer’s dream” is overused, but I am dreaming of events past and present in that beautiful space, with that dramatic stone fireplace as a centerpiece for the action. “this home just had to be an entertainer’s home,” said listing agent Cynthia Paine Drennan. “I’ve attended several parties here, and the space flows so beautifully for events.”
The wide, open space provides several options for seating arrangements while the sleek bamboo flooring highlighted by fresh lighting offers the perfect setting. A wall of newly replaced windows (throughout the home) offers views to the plentiful shade trees and yard beyond.
The kitchen is anchored by floor-to-ceiling windows (I spy that elusive front door through the window of the second photo above!). New appliances including a six-burner gas range and a convenient island island with clever storage make this easy, breezy open kitchen a delight both for entertaining and day-to-day. There’s also an enormous walk-in pantry and extra-large utility room for plenty of storage and work space.
Find three large bedrooms and a full bath off the living area, all with plenty of closet space and huge new windows. The primary is at the end of the home for complete privacy, generously sized, and Drennan says with the large windows and tree coverage on the property, mornings are like waking up in the Pacific Northwest. Sliding glass walls on either side access the yard, which is turfed on one side. And isn’t all that green space just begging for a big beautiful deck, and maybe a pool or a pickle ball court to go with it?
This private midcentury retreat with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths on just under an acre has style to spare and a great price at just under $500K. It’s like being invited to an exciting private party that only those in the know will receive the invitation. Will you be on the list?
Dave Perry Miller agent Cynthia Paine Drennan has 1502 Oak Glen Trail listed for $499,000.
Drennan will hold an open house on Sunday, August 17 from 2-4 pm.
