Description

This stunning colonial home in the desirable Yorkshire neighborhood, off Memorial Dr., combines classic elegance and thoughtful updates. The residence features a den with mahogany French doors opening to a partially covered patio and a landscaped garden. The seamless floorplan blends formal and family living spaces, enhanced by crown molding and solid wood doors. The main level includes a primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet and an en suite featuring separate areas for vanity, shower, and an additional sink, accessed via a cozy room suitable for a study or media room. Upstairs, four bedrooms include two connected by an updated Jack-and-Jill bathroom and a spacious balcony. Additional features include a full bath in the hallway, substantial closet space in each bedroom, and a lush backyard shaded by mature trees. A detached two-car garage hides an impressive backup generator ensuring preparedness for any weather. Importantly, the home remained dry during Harvey.
