Description

Located in the heart of Fondren, homes like this simply don't come on the market very often—and they certainly aren't being built like this anymore. This exceptional traditional-style home is truly "solid as a rock," sitting well back from the street on more than an acre of beautiful property. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the character and craftsmanship, including four exceptionally large bedrooms, soaring ceilings, real heart pine floors, abundant storage, a slate roof, and floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the home with natural light. The floor plan is exactly what you would hope for in a traditional home, offering a formal dining room, formal living room, spacious den, an additional room just off the kitchen, and a remarkable room over the garage that may quickly become your favorite spot in the house, overlooking the gorgeous backyard and pool. Outside, the backyard is truly special, featuring a brick patio, a classic deep pool—something you just don't find in newer pools—and a tall brick wall creating a private and inviting pool area. And there's still plenty of backyard beyond the wall, with room for kids to kick a soccer ball, play, and enjoy the outdoors. Best of all, you're right in the middle of everything Fondren has to offer, with locally owned restaurants just minutes away, multiple grocery stores, shopping, entertainment, and virtually everything else you need close by. I grew up in Fondren myself and loved every minute of it, and I can tell you there is something incredibly special about living in this neighborhood. This is a truly rare opportunity for a buyer looking for character, space, privacy, and an unbeatable location.
