On this Grandin block, trees trading shade like old friends and sidewalks made for unhurried walks, sits a home that greets you like family. The front door opens to a living room where the wallpaper isn't just wallpaper; it's memory; holidays, late-night talks, ''just one more page.'' It holds the past without holding you back.Off the entry, the ''fourth bedroom'' is dressed as a den, perfect for morning coffee, dog by your feet, inbox behaving itself for five whole minutes. Around the corner, the updates show up where they matter, so everyday life runs smooth even while the house keeps its wink of history.Upstairs, the primary suite lands the quiet luxury: his-and-her walk-in closets and a private balcony that looks down the famous tree-lined street. Spring mornings and October afternoons were basically invented for this spot. Out back, the yard is fully fenced with alley access, a practical flex in this neighborhood. A gentle ramp leads from the house to the lawn so you and your favorite sidekick can age in place with dignity (and still feel the grass between toes and paws when stairs start acting dramatic). From the Roanoke River Greenway to scrumptious local eats and Black Dog Salvage, your weekend plans are a five-minute conversation. Give the home a little tender care and it's a showstopper. Keep the patina, and it's a portal to a simpler time. Either way, the welcome here is the real deal. It's steady, familiar, and ready for its next chapter.
