Property Description

Just one house in from beautiful Hampton Park, this classic Craftsman home is set on one of the largest and widest lots in the neighborhood. The large side yard offers endless potential, from a playground for kids to a gardener's haven, with ample room for a pool. And, thanks to the owners' diligent upkeep, the home is move-in ready. The home features historic woodworking, spacious rooms with sunny windows, a front porch, and two screened-in back porches. Elevated high up on an X-500 flood zone, it is better protected from flooding and includes ample off-street parking on the driveway, which leads into the porte cochere and side entrance. The main level boasts a welcoming foyer, a sizeable living room, a paneled dining room, an open kitchen, a powder room, and a pantry. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a bath, and the owner's suite comes with dual closets and an en suite bathroom. The third-floor attic offers extensive storage and could possibly be converted into additional living space. In 1999, Meadors Construction carried out a significant renovation, including a new kitchen and the addition of a primary bath. They also converted the second-floor side porch into a second full bath and installed a new copper roof and gutters, updated plumbing, and modern electrical rewiring with internet and cable TV connections. A section of the downstairs porch was converted into a laundry room. Then in 2015, a separate water meter was added for the irrigation system, enhancing convenience and efficiency. More recently, in 2023, new HVAC systems were installed for both upstairs and downstairs. These two-ton dual-fuel systems include both a heat pump and auxiliary gas. Out back, you will find a spacious utility shed. This home represents a rare chance to own a special piece of Hampton Park Terrace. Do not let it pass you by.
