About This Home
This East Ridge home has more going on than it lets on from the street. Fully fenced front and back, a flagstone patio with a fire pit in the front yard, a screened porch perfect for taking it all in, two covered carports, and a basement with real potential. Step through the front door into a small foyer with a coat closet, then into a living room with hardwood floors, crown molding, and a tray ceiling detail. Straight ahead leads you to the kitchen, which has plenty of cabinet storage, dark countertops, tile floors, and enough space for an eat-in dining area. The stacked washer and dryer are tucked into a shiplap accent wall just off the kitchen, and the back door leads out to a deck overlooking the tree-lined backyard. Just off the living room, a short hallway leads to both bedrooms and the full bathroom. The bathroom has its own character with an updated vanity and fixtures. Also off the living room, the stairs lead down to the basement which is unfinished but has a lot going for it. The main section has painted walls and recessed lighting and is the closest to a usable living space. It just needs a little attention to get it there. On one side is the first large storage area perfect for storing decorations, seasonal items, and general storage. On the other side, a separate section with its own exterior door to the driveway is ideal for tools, lawn equipment, and larger items. The basement gives you the potential to add finished square footage and still have dedicated storage on top of it.
