Call for an appointment: Home #: 601-425-5201; Cell #: 601-466-5737 6 BR / 5 full BA -- Kitchen -- Library (or another bedroom) -- Utility Room -- Dining Room / Living Room -- Walk-in Pantry -- Family Room -- Finished Walk-out Basement with separate Game Room (34.5' X 30.5') -- Sun Room (22' X 19') -- Laundry Room -- 3 patios and 1 front porch Approximately 5200 sq. ft. heated and cooled plus approximately 700 sq. ft. room with window unit, 16 x 24 home-matching storage or work shed, and 3-car garage OVERVIEW: The brick veneer and concrete slab home (built in the 70s) is one level except for the 2-story  room/garage (potential apartment) at one end, and a 2-story split level at the other end.  This home is the largest in its subdivision of only 24 homes.  There is only 1 road in and out of the subdivision, making it very safe for children, and quiet for adults!  Though the house is zoned city, the rest of the subdivision is in the county, and is a treed community.  This property has approximately 1 acres shaded by  38 eighty-foot pines, 2 live oaks, 2 water oaks, 1 pecan, 1 satsuma, 1 lemon, 1 river birch, 1 magnolia, 1 thirty-foot eucalyptus,  2 crepe myrtles, and a few other various trees like sweet gum, bay, etc.  The 3-lot property is bordered by a brick and cinderblock fence (being covered by fig ivy) on the street side.  All 3 lots are backed by undeveloped, treed lots (and the present owners want to keep them undeveloped).  Approximately 5200 sq. ft. heated and cooled by 2 central units (gas heat); another approximately 550 sq. ft. is in the 2nd story of a 2-story matching building attached to the main house by a breezeway.  This large room has a computer drawing for becoming a free-standing apartment or guest house, but we will move before that plan can be enacted.  At present, this room has 5 large windows and is heated and cooled by an old window unit and wall unit.  Underneath is a 3-car garage, tall enough for our 15-passenger van, with stairs leading up to the house-level breezeway.  There is also a 16 X 24 storage shed (on concrete slab) in the back which is painted to match the house, and is supplied with lights and electrical outlets.  It houses the command box for the in-ground automatic sprinkler system.  There are flood lights on all corners of the house, 2 street lights on the back, halogen floods over the basketball goal area, and landscape lighting going up trees, walls, and the entrance in the front (the landscape lighting is on a timer). WALKING TOUR: The hall leading to the bedrooms has a linen closet, hall bathroom (newly renovated with tiled tub/shower combo, tiled floor, and poured-marble double sink), and 3 bedrooms (one of which is a master suite with French doors leading out to a private patio in the back yard) all on the main house level.  At this point the hall goes into a split level with hardwood steps leading up to 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.  2 of these bedrooms (and the upper hall) have oak parquet floors, each with sliding glass doors looking over the back yard, with a shared bathroom between them.  Across the hall is a newly renovated master suite with large windows dressed with beautiful plantation shutters inside and Berber carpet.  The bathroom is quite large, with oak parquet flooring and room for furnishings such as dresser and chairs.  At the bottom of the hall steps is a French door with hardwood steps leading down to the large finished basement.  The walkout basement is floored in quality linoleum and consists of  2 rooms painted and wallpapered in coordinating colors.  The larger room has 2 large windows to the front of the house, French doors with a fabric awning which opens onto a large sunken patio, and a fireplace with wood-burning buck stove and blower, with huge cypress mantel (from a tree my dad felled on his farm in Louisiana).  The smaller room has 3 windows looking out on the sunken patio which wraps around the side and back of this 2-story addition, and is presently a ping-pong or game room.  There are also 2 extra large storage areas in the basement. The drive is newly paved and sealed asphalt, entering the property on the front, right side.  It wraps around the right side of the house (down a hill, under and around trees) to enter the basement garage from the back of the house.  The drive incorporates a small loop around the thirty-foot eucalyptus, 3 parking pads at various points, and an area for grilling and basketball.  There are stairs inside the garage leading up to the house level as well as a railroad tie and marble rock trail around the side of the garage building which is landscaped with a rose garden on one side and hydrangea, ferns and various other plants on the other.  This ends in the breezeway between the 2-story garage and the main house.  From the front side of the house, a brick walkway leads from the road to this same breezeway under a brick arch covered in Confederate Jasmine.  From here, double French doors lead into a large sunroom with windows and French doors comprising the 2 opposite walls.  The floor is oak parquet.  Through French doors on the right is a large laundry room organized for a family of 9 (and dryer hook-ups for gas or electricity), straight ahead are French doors leading to a back patio, and to the left is a doorway stepping up into the kitchen.  The kitchen was completely gutted and remodeled in 1998 with Italian tile floor, stained oak paneled cabinets, 2 look-throughs over the sink into the sun room (which make a high bar), double ovens, 2 (yes, two!) dishwashers (1 year old), an under-cabinet 50 lb. ice maker, glass 5-burner cook top, double porcelain sink and garbage disposal, appliance garage, open shelving for canisters and cookbooks, microwave and refrigerator (both included with the house).  There is also a low bar on the back side of the cook top, and a very large walk-in pantry with shelving and organizers on 3 walls. Off the kitchen is a utility room (originally the laundry room, so hookups are still in place) with floor to ceiling cabinets, window, and room for extra refrigerator and freezer.  The lone bedroom suite (or library/guest room) is also off the kitchen with 3 large windows and 2 doors -- one from the kitchen and another from the dining room.  The dining room is on the front of the house with 2 very large windows looking out under the front porch (where there is a wicker swing and furniture [included with the house].   Another brick walk leads from the road to the front porch steps.)  The dining room is 12 x 23 and is large enough to presently house a table and chairs, buffet, china cabinet, sofa, and baby grand piano.  A small foyer to the front entrance is at one end of this room through a large opening which adds depth.  The front door is solid walnut with an oval leaded glass inset.  In the foyer, at the opposite end from the front door, is a door which separates it from the family room. The family room is separated from the kitchen only by the low bar and cook top, so it is very open.  The family room has a brick fireplace (which has been capped) and hearth (with Italian-tiled flooring in front) it now houses gas logs, but can be uncapped and turned into a wood-burning fireplace again.  From the family room you can walk into the kitchen, dining room, foyer, hall leading to 6 bedrooms and the basement, or go through French doors to an outside patio nestled in an L of the house between the family room and the sun room.
