You don't want to miss this fantastic Fondren home! After a major addition and renovation, the home embodies the best of both worlds - all the character and charm of a well-built older home, but with new wiring, new plumbing, new windows, a stylish, private guest/mother-in-law suite and even a three car garage - a rarity in Fondren. And did we mention a basketball court for backyard entertainment? Yes, you really can have it all! The owners enlisted an architect to design a thoughtful addition and plan a total renovation that addressed their needs in a home, both at the time, but also looking towards the future. Examples of upgrades during the whole house renovation include an open concept kitchen/casual dining/keeping room, drop zone just inside the back door, large storage bay off the three car garage, smart thermostats, sound system, mosquito misting system, full yard irrigation system, LED landscape lighting, Tesla charger...the list goes on and on. The result is a home that can evolve with its owners. Consistent with current building trends, the expansive kitchen opens onto a breakfast room which adjoins a keeping room, providing plenty of togetherness. The kitchen offers double ovens, gas cooktop, farmhouse sink, icemaker, walk-in pantry, barstool seating and even a built-in desk to keep the household organized. The generous breakfast area opens onto a comfortable keeping room which overlooks the fully-fenced backyard. A formal living room with wood burning fireplace and built-ins opens onto a formal dining room with an antique chandelier and attractive sconces. The primary suite features a totally redesigned luxurious and spacious bathroom with dual sinks, plenty of counter space and storage, a six foot tub and a roomy shower with bench, frameless glass door, and leaded glass window. The primary suite also boasts an expansive, well-planned walk-in closet with built-ins. Two additional bedrooms downstairs each offer two closets, and one features a window seat. The two secondary bedrooms share a spacious hall bath with designer wallpaper, two sinks, a tub and large separate shower with frameless glass door. Upstairs, the private, luxurious guest suite will delight visitors. A living area with built-ins, plantation shutters, and two large storage closets provides a relaxing space for guests to lounge. A spacious bathroom with makeup area, large bedroom with study nook and two large walk-in closets with built-ins complete the added space. The fully-fenced backyard provides a welcome retreat after a busy day. Relax on the flagstone patio (without worrying about mosquitos thanks to the mosquito misting system) and admire the beautiful Japanese maple in the back yard, just one of many mature trees providing both privacy and shade. There is plenty of lawn for backyard fun, plus a Sports Court basketball court for hours of entertainment. The home fronts the Old Canton Road pedestrian lane, providing quick access to all the fun in Fondren. Whether you want to shop, dine out, watch a movie, go bowling, or hear live music, there is something for everyone just steps away. Don't miss this perfectly balanced blend of old and new.
