Colonial

All offers due by 6pm Saturday, April 1 -- no foolin'! This cheerful golden 5 BR 3 BA Colonial is in one of the BEST locations in the popular Gingerville Manor Estates neighborhood. Go to the end of Tarragon Lane and you will find this gem perched on the cul-de-sac, directly across from the neighborhood's fishing pond, swimming pool, basketball courts, and tennis courts. The HOA hosts fun events like its famous Fourth of July party at the pool, fun runs, and food trucks. The scenic South River literally, and we mean "literally," begins in the backyard as a creek. From the front porch, you enter your home through a beautiful solid wood front door with flourishes imported from Spain. Flanking the foyer is a spacious and sunny living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a separate dining room with windows to the front yard. Look up--see those wooden beams? They were upcycled from a local barn in 1967 and incorporated into the home's design by the original owner and builder. Towards the back of the house is the open-plan kitchen, breakfast nook, and family room which serves as the center of activity in the house. The main level floors are covered in either hardwood or Spanish-style tile. Access the two-car garage or use a back door to get to the all-brick patio where you can dine outside and enjoy birds chirping. The main floor includes a laundry room which doubles as a mudroom thanks to a second back door. Take the stairs up to the sleeping quarters with its hardwood floors. You will find three bedrooms and the primary bedroom with its ensuite bathroom that was completely renovated in the 2010s. You'll be blown away by the closet space! A fifth bedroom serves as a walk-in closet but can be easily converted back into a bedroom. The main bathroom in the hall was also updated in the 2010s and instills peace and tranquility. Take the stairs down to the basement and find a dedicated home office with a door you can close, a storage closet, built-in shelves and a window. The main room in the basement has carpet and can be used for play, exercise, gaming or watching Netflix. A bonus room waits around the corner and includes two closets, a window, and walls texturized using a Spanish stucco machine. Finish your tour of the basement in the roomy shop with its shelves and space for storage. There is a basement door that leads to the side yard, which is adjacent to a small path that connects Tarragon Lane to Cardamon Street. Close to the woods, you will see owls, hawks, songbirds and foxes. This home is a wonderful platform for entertaining friends and family and creating memories for years to come!
