The Poster Child for Home Sweet Home

Here’s the Poster Child for “Home, Sweet Home”

by John Shivers

When you’re the folks getting mail at 151 Woods Road off Highway 76 East of Clayton, you’ll enjoy a private, sloping one acre lot, more or less, that fronts on some 200 feet of burbling She Creek waters. There’s an established garden space, the better to grow sweet corn and tomatoes and okra. Not to mention two outbuildings, one with a shed for a riding mower or small tractor, an H to E garden shed, as well as a detached double carport with expansion possibilities accessed by an outside entrance already in place up top. This is a hard combination to beat, and this is just on the outside. There’s also a chain link fenced yard enclosing a three bedroom, two bath ranch style home that’s anything but cookie cutter inside. While it is a split floor plan with the master suite separated from the other two bedrooms, this isn’t your ordinary three-two floor plan. In fact, the layout is about as custom as the quality of living inside. Plus, there’s a spacious screened porch as well as an open deck with a pergola that allows you to split the difference between indoors and out. The call is yours, but either way you go, you can’t go wrong. The great room in the center of the home with a fireplace not only gives spreading out room for family and friends, it serves as the hub for a lot of good living, and opens both to the screened porch and the deck. Adjacent to the great room there’s a spacious kitchen with beautiful cabinetry including an island and granite countertops with a gas range, refrigerator and dishwasher, a breakfast bar, and dining room. Opening off the kitchen a four-season sunroom offers multiple opportunities for living and relaxation. This rare find of a family home includes two large bathrooms to serve the three bedrooms. One is part of the master suite and features an oversize glass enclosed shower. There’s also a spacious his/her closet. The second bath offers a tub/shower combination, and both bathrooms have recently been updated. There’s carpet in the living room and master bedroom. Elsewhere, hardwood floors run throughout the remainder of the house. Both bathrooms have hard surface tile. Numerous ceiling fans, a whole house ceiling fan, an upgraded HVAC system complete with a humidifier, and UV light for both the HVAC and water as well as a water purification system and a tankless on-demand water heater add to this home’s value.

In the partially finished daylight basement with direct access to the outside, you’ll find all the mechanicals, storage, and a finished room that could serve as a hobby and craft room, man cave, home gym, or home office. This home was built in 1968 and has been meticulously maintained and upgraded. The established nature of the yard means the new owner won’t be faced with starting from scratch, but simply improving and enhancing what’s already there. While there are other homes in the area, there’s plenty of spreading out room and a rural setting to boot. How much better can it get? Sit on the rear deck and listen to the music of the creek waters, or amble down through the yard and enjoy those creek waters up close and personal. Go wading… in season, of course! This exceptional property practically screams “Come sit a spell. Take your shoes off. Stay awhile. How much better can an invitation get? This house is waiting for its new owners.
