In New Town, life happens on the porch, and this home gives you two. Classic columned double wraparound porches, one on each level, set the scene for morning coffee, evening conversations and waving to neighbors. Out back is the showstopper: a custom private courtyard framed by black horizontal privacy fencing and Japanese maples, with a pergola covering nearly the entire space, a built-in bench dining nook, landscape lighting, a soothing water feature, bird feeders, hanging baskets, and flower and garden beds on their own watering system. It's where Sunday brunch lingers and dinner with friends lasts long after sunset. Inside, this 2013 McBride two-story offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, with thoughtful updates and fresh paint throughout most of the home, warm plank floors, plantation shutters and a reclaimed-wood accent wall. The kitchen shines with granite counters, an island, stainless appliances, pendant lighting, a coffee bar and walk-in pantry, opening to a breakfast area under a crystal chandelier. A main-floor laundry room keeps life easy. Upstairs, a flexible loft opens to the second-story porch. The primary suite features a tray ceiling, a sliding barn door, and a bath with double vanity, soaking tub and glass-enclosed tiled shower. The freshly painted finished lower level adds a spacious rec room, 4th bedroom and full bath. New roof on the home and detached garage, plus new gutters and downspouts. Step off the porch and into the New Town lifestyle: lakes, pools, pickleball, sand volleyball, restaurants and the new Dierbergs, all a golf cart ride away. Orchard Farm schools.
