About this home

Enjoy the perks of Locust just minutes from the Locust Town Center, multiple restaurants and shopping. This all brick home is perfect for low-maintenance living at only two years old. The rocking chair front porch is the perfect place to greet the day and the 18' x 15' patio with gazebo is great for gatherings. Inside, the kitchen, dining and living rooms are open with a generously-sized island, soft-close cabinetry, and luxury vinyl plank throughout the living areas and in the primary bedroom. Cozy up for a toasty evening at home with gas log fireplace while dreaming of all your holiday plans. If storage is a challenge, your search is over. This home has a HUGE attic space (960 sq ft) perfect for all the extras and the biggest plus of all is that you can access it by stairs. (Future expansion of a bonus room could also be considered for this area.) The primary suite features a spacious walk-in closet, step-in shower, dual-sink vanity with a drawer stack for extra storage. There is carpeting in the secondary bedrooms. The washer, dryer and refrigerator are all included to make move-in a breeze. With no HOA, city water and sewer, and a quarter acre, your time can be spent doing what you love rather than mowing a huge yard and keeping up a house! This nearly new property makes it possible.
