About This Home
Perched on a hill in University Estates just minutes from Mississippi State University, this hidden gem is delightfully tucked away & surrounded by natural beauty. Stepping inside, the home feels like an elegant treehouse. The foyer opens to a large living room with vaulted ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, and multiple windows overlooking the fenced back yard. The open kitchen/dining area also offers plenty of windows to let in natural light and extra space for a sitting area as well as built-in shelving to display whatever treasures your heart desires. Each of the three spacious bedrooms are large enough for a desk area and the primary suite's sliding glass doors open to the backyard. This brick home sits on a basement garage and utility room with plenty of space for a work bench and storage. Other perks include a tankless water, updated bathrooms, and the home was recently connected to East Oktibbeha Sewer Service. Sit back, relax, and enjoy nature while also being close enough to campus to hear the cowbells and fireworks on game days.
