Today you see a facade of cool gray painted brick, wide Hardy plank siding, and a bright pop of orange greeting you at the door, but this week’s High Caliber Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans, wasn’t always that way.
Turn back the clock to May 2017 when this 1978 soft contemporary was a house in disrepair. It had overgrown landscaping, a gutted interior, and a warning from its listing agent: “I recommend only experienced investors to buy this home.”
I know it’s a cliche, but even at its worst, you can tell this 2,187-square-foot home had good bones. Located in coveted Preston Green North near Hillcrest and McCallum, this one-story home has three bedrooms, two baths, and a powder bath.
From the vaulted ceilings down to the dark wood flooring and the walls and windows in between, everything in this contemporary home feels polished and elegant. What I suppose you’d call the formal living room is beside the step-down family room that’s been opened up with an additional entrance, so they both just flow.
The large kitchen features granite countertops, soft close cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range. Grab a quick bite from the breakfast bar, sip your coffee from the breakfast nook, or enjoy a family breakfast in the large dining area. Walls of windows look out onto multiple outdoor living spaces including a large paved patio located off the dining room and a more intimate firepit patio located off the breakfast nook.
The must-see primary suite has a free-standing tub, newer cabinets, granite, and a large shower under a skylight! Multiple private outdoor spaces are perfect for entertaining or relaxing with a glass of wine. All this and no HOA!
Brandon Stewart of David Griffin and Company Realtors has listed 7015 Duffield Drive for $535,000.
