LOCATION, LIFESTYLE, AND A BACKYARD YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO LEAVE....Right in the heart of Carrollton, this home delivers the kind of location buyers are always searching for - close to everything, yet tucked into a quiet corner where life feels a little slower and more peaceful. Located only 1/3 mile from Carrollton High School and less than a mile from the other Carrollton schools, daily routines suddenly become much easier. Spend weekends biking or walking the nearby Carrollton GreenBelt, catch concerts and community events at The AMP at Adamson Square, or enjoy the rare convenience of being able to walk or ride your golf cart to downtown Carrollton for dinner, shopping, breweries, coffee shops, and local events around the square. Convenient to Tanner Health, Southwire, and shopping, this is truly a location that keeps you connected to everything. The fully fenced yard feels like your own private retreat. Mature blueberry bushes, blooming azaleas, and bright yellow forsythia create a peaceful setting that changes beautifully with the seasons. Two pergolas in the back yard invite you to slow down and stay awhile. The oversized yard offers endless possibilities for gardening, entertaining, future firepit nights, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A charming small outbuilding could easily become a children's playhouse or gardening shed. The welcoming rocking chair front porch immediately feels like home. Inside, the surprisingly large updated kitchen is designed for real life - featuring solid surface countertops, an island, freestanding pantry, new dishwasher, lazy Susan cabinetry, pull-out storage containers, and even a built-in pull-out cutting board that adds both charm and function. Anchoring both the kitchen and family room is a stunning and unique double-sided brick fireplace that gives the home warmth, character, and a true gathering-place feel. The sunny dining room naturally draws family and guests together, while the spacious family room is filled with beautiful natural light and offers plenty of room to relax or entertain. Just off the family room, a screened porch accessed through a unique Dutch door creates the perfect spot for morning coffee or quiet relaxing evenings.A flexible room near the dining area offers wonderful possibilities - ideal as a 4th bedroom with private ensuite bath, guest suite, or home office with easy access near the carport entry. Three additional light-filled bedrooms continue the home's bright and welcoming feel. The large bathroom features a jetted tub, separate shower, and unique pocket door details that add both function and charm.Additional improvements include a NEW ROOF in 2024, new chimney cap, new gutters, freshly painted interior, cleaned air vents, and additional storage space located beside the carport. Some photos have been virtually staged to illustrate the home's furnishing possibilities and design potential.Homes that combine this much convenience, character, outdoor space, and flexibility rarely come along in such a sought-after location. Come experience the ease of being close to everything while still feeling like you have your own peaceful corner of the world. Hurry to see this one today before it is gone!
