1-acre wooded cove lot * True Southern architecture * 4 bedrooms 3.5 bathrooms * New roof, HVAC systems & water heaters ~~~~~ Classic Colonial architecture, a wooded one-acre setting and flexible living spaces come together in this custom-built 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Olive Branch home offering 3,045 sq ft at the end of a private cove. Tall front columns (think Greek Revival), a broad Trex-style front porch (perfect for rocking chairs), brick walkway and circle driveway create a memorable arrival, while mature shade trees frame the home and rear patio. ~~~~~ Inside, a soaring two-story foyer introduces hardwood flooring, a turned oak stair rail and Juliet balcony. The dramatic two-story great room centers around a massive fireplace and a wall of windows that fills the space with natural light while bringing views of the wooded surroundings indoors. The great room opens to the formal dining room and connects to the kitchen through a convenient pass-through, making it easy for conversation and serving to move between the main gathering spaces. The formal dining room adds hardwood floors, a beautiful tray ceiling and a picture window with window seat, creating dedicated space for larger meals, entertaining or special occasions. ~~~~~ The spacious kitchen is built around a granite center island and includes a built-in gas cooktop, new double ovens, new dishwasher, two pantries and abundant storage. A large main-level bonus room/flex room shares a double-sided fireplace with the great room and offers the versatility to function as a media room, second living area, bonus room, recreation space or a 4th bedroom. A dedicated main-level home office provides separate space for work or study, with a half bath nearby. ~~~~~ Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite full bathroom and walk-in closet . . . an uncommon layout that provides separation, storage and flexibility. The primary suite includes dual sinks, a corner soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and a large walk-in closet. A generous loft/landing at the top of the stairs creates another usable area for a reading nook, study space, or additional lounge. ~~~~~ Major updates include a new roof, new HVAC systems, new water heaters, new double ovens and new dishwasher, adding value well beyond cosmetic improvements. Outdoors, the approximately one-acre lot offers mature trees, wooded views, frequent wildlife sightings, two sheds, and space to enjoy the setting from the front porch or rear patio. The home is located in an established Olive Branch neighborhood with large homes and spacious lots and is served by excellent DeSoto County Schools. ~~~~~ Location adds another layer of convenience and recreation. Sweetpea's Table is nearby on Highway 305, and the George M. Harrison Municipal Soccer Complex on Church Road offers lighted soccer fields and a walking trail. The nearby Lick Creek recreation corridor is also expanding: the pedestrian trail project includes an 80-foot pedestrian bridge, and the developing 48.43-acre Lick Creek Conservatory & Recreational Area is planned to include a lake with overlook, kayak access, wildlife and conservation programming, and a Raptor Education Center.
