1004 Buckley Drive

With more than 2,000 square feet on a big, nearly half-acre lot, 1004 Buckley Drive offers a ton of space, a whole lot of character, and a back yard that would make even Miss Mississippi blush. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch is full of thoughtfulness: two living areas with exceptional built in bookshelf energy, a separate dining room off the main living room, a dedicated office nook off the kitchen, a separate utility closet for laundry, an attached garage, and a detached storage building in the backyard with lots of space for tools or a painting/art studio. Choose your own adventure, this house has a lot to love. Hardwood floors throughout and tiled wet rooms, raised ceilings (9ft), and classic wood trim main make this house feel like home as soon as you enter the foyer. The formal living room and dining room are open and inviting for entertaining while a separate den off the hallway creates a space for more relaxed gathering, cozying up with a book, or enjoying some peace and quiet by the fireplace. The built-in bookcases are superb. The kitchen has a great deal of counterspace and cabinet space, stainless appliances (electric range, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator) and plenty of workspace. Just beyond the kitchen, the office nook with built-in storage provides an ideal place to work from home or let little folks do homework or a spot to have breakfast and chat. There is also an adjacent utility room which keeps laundry and household necessities conveniently tucked away. The house includes three bedrooms and two updated baths. Both bathrooms were renovated in 2016 and feature some wonderful finishes, including a walk-in tiled shower in the master bathroom. Other notable renovations include epoxy flooring in the garage, a roof replaced in 2015, and an HVAC and hot water heater replaced just this year. The outdoor space (front and back) is a true highlight. At nearly 600 square feet, the deck in the backyard functions like a whole separate living area. There's ample room for dining, entertaining, and living into your "grilling" era. The backyard also has an irrigation system, French drains, wrought-iron fencing, and a detached 8-by-12-foot (96 square feet) storage building. There's also a wooden bridge that provides access to a clubhouse/playhouse for children (or adults, live your best life!) Conveniently located near Fondren's great restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and entertainment, 1004 Buckley Drive is an ideal combination of neighborhood character, exceptional living space, and outdoor room for you (and all your guests) to live large.
