About This Home

motivated seller - Open to negotiation! Some photos have been virtually staged, including select interior spaces and portions of the landscaping, to illustrate completed renderings and potential design possibilities once construction is finalized. While a pool is not currently planned or included, virtual images are provided to help visualize the exceptional backyard space should a future owner wish to add one. This 5 BR / 4 BA brick home is currently under construction and available for showings, offering buyers a unique opportunity to explore remaining customization options prior to completion. Once finished, the property will feature a new roof, new poured driveway, new windows, and refreshed landscaping, all thoughtfully designed to enhance curb appeal and functionality. Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of 5 Points, the home sits on a fenced lot with a peaceful creek along the rear of the property and ample room for future outdoor living expansion. A screened porch extends from the dining room with elevated views of the backyard, while Trex-style steps provide convenient ground access. Inside, the completely remodeled interior offers generous living spaces with built-in cabinetry, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and elegant arched doorways. The spa-like primary bath features a soaking tub and a walk-in dual shower. The basement is currently unfinished; however, photos and renderings illustrate the potential for a future apartment-style layout, including flex space, kitchen, bedroom, living area, bathroom, and laundry, with both interior and exterior access—ideal for an in-law suite, guest quarters, or rental opportunity. All square footage and measurements are approximate and provided as a courtesy. Buyer is advised to independently verify any information that is material to their decision.
