Sunroom, walkout lower level among amenities
Contributing Writer
A wooded backdrop stretches across 1.74 acres that overlook a nearby golf course and surrounds a renovated two-story.
Listed for $895,000 by Sibcy Cline Realtors, the stucco home at 4300 Southern Blvd. has about 4,620 square feet of living space, including the walk-out lower-level recreation room.
Renovations made to the home include the kitchen, the walk-out basement, replacement of the driveway and a new roof and gutters in 2015.
Formal entry opens into a marble vestibule with a spiral staircase and original parquet wood floors. The parquet floors continue into the sunken living room, which has an Italian marble fireplace with fire screen. French doors open into a sunroom and a study.
The sun room has French doors that open to an outside balcony while the office features built-in bookcases and file cabinets. French doors open from the study to the rear outside patio and a second set open back into the living room.
All three rooms have crown molding and decorative molding around doorways.
Off the vestibule in the opposite direction is the updated kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, a removable island, breakfast bar and wet bar. Appliances include a five-burner cooktop, wall ovens, refrigerator and dishwasher. French doors open from the breakfast room to the rear patio. There are two pantry closets, and a swinging door opens into the formal dining room
The dining room has two built-in corner china hutches, wood flooring and French doors that open to a covered porch with tile floor, wrought-iron railing and awning.
Off the kitchen is a guest suite with bedroom, full bathroom and upstairs access to the three-car garage.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, each having its own bathrooms. There is also a laundry room.
The main bedroom suite has a 16-by-13-foot, walk-in closet with built-in drawers, shelves and island and make-up desk. There are two other smaller closets. The private bath features ceramic tile surround walls and heated flooring.

The second level has hardwood floors, original doors and door knobs. The second largest bedroom has a built-in storage and private access to a full bathroom. The third bedroom is across the hallway from a full bath.
At the bottom of the spiral staircase is the basement, which has been extended and finished into a recreation room. The recreation room has a fireplace with ornate mantel, ceramic-tile flooring and patio doors that open out to a sunken flagstone patio with steps that lead up to the lawn and rear patio.
