Walk through
Located at 9321 Fordshire Drive, the one-story home now exudes street appeal with its freshly painted brick facade and updated porch light fixtures. A step inside leads owners to the open living and dining area with angular windows framed by high, vaulted ceilings and intermixed with brick accent walls. Cork flooring is under foot. The kitchen includes a Bertazzoni gas range and oven, Decor refrigerator and plenty of prepping space on granite countertops.
What was once an overgrown courtyard now welcomes as a fenced and landscaped backyard with outdoor living spaces.
Three bedrooms located down a hallway include the master suite with dual vanities and frameless shower. A large walk-in closet is easily at hand off the master bath. An additional bath offers dual vanities and marble countertops.
Step outside
