Description

Welcome to 706 Clifton Drive, a stunning colonial home situated in the highly sought-after Hickory Woods neighborhood. Perched on one of the highest elevation points in the neighborhood, this meticulously maintained residence, built in 1986 by RC Peoples, has been lovingly cared for by its original owners. Boasting 2,200 square feet of elegant living space, it offers four spacious bedrooms and two and a half tastefully updated bathrooms. Step onto the charming front porch and enter the center hall foyer, where beautiful hardwood floors and crown molding invite you into the living room and formal dining room. The heart of the home is the eat-in kitchen, complete with tile flooring, granite countertops, and a stylish backsplash, enhanced by recessed lighting and modern stainless steel appliances. The expansive family room, featuring a 2-foot bump-out and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, is perfect for entertaining. Enjoy the seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle with a large screened-in porch leading to a paver patio, overlooking a spacious, open yard. The main level also includes a large laundry closet with a sink and storage, as well as a conveniently located half bathroom. Retreat to the primary bedroom, complete with two organized closets and a luxurious primary bath featuring quartz countertops and a large, floor-to-ceiling tiled shower. The hall bathroom is equally impressive, with large charcoal tile flooring, elegant glass shower doors, and a pedestal sink—plumbing in place for a shower/tub conversion if desired. Three additional bedrooms offer spacious closets and abundant natural light. The partially finished basement provides extra living space, while the unfinished portion remains dry and organized. Recent updates include a 2019 heat pump, a 2022 water heater, and a whole house humidifier. The home’s classic curb appeal is highlighted by a brick exterior with aluminum siding and a portico, all set on a peaceful 0.62-acre lot on a quiet street. Don’t miss out on this exceptional home!
