Charming South of Grand Retreat. Tucked into a quiet, wooded neighborhood, this beautifully updated home blends character, comfort, and creativity. All-new siding and fresh exterior paint give it instant curb appeal. Inside, you'll find two cozy bedrooms, a thoughtfully updated bath, and lovely architectural details throughout—like built-in bookshelves, original windows, and hardwood floors. The warm eat-in nook, eye-catching staircase, and inviting layout welcome you in. A standout feature is the three-season porch with 220-amp service—perfect for an art studio, pottery space, or peaceful morning coffee. The kitchen features open shelving and flows into a den with sliding doors that open to a charming brick patio. Outside, winding brick paths lead through native plantings, garden beds, graceful sculptures (included!), and a storage shed—an ideal nature lover's escape. The lower level adds generous storage, premium washer/dryer, and flexible space for a gym, office, or studio. A true creative's haven—this South of Grand gem offers timeless style in a serene, inspiring setting.
