Glencrofte home is 'near-new' with updates

This 3,683-square-foot brick home on Glencrofte Lane is suburban living at its finest, with thorough updates to take it into the next quarter-century.

"This home has been completely renovated. Every inch," says Realtor Doug Lawrence, of Lawrence & Associates at Prudential RealtyCenter.com, listing doors, windows, lighting, appliances, HVAC system, roof, plumbing, electrical systems and exterior finishes. The wood-burning fireplace is even equipped with a gas starter log.

The exclusive and serene Glencrofte neighborhood in East Brainerd has only four homes. Lawrence says the surrounding lay of the land, including nearby Precept Ministries International, prevents other developments from springing up in anyone's backyard.

"It's beautifully secluded in the heart of town," says Lawrence. The new homeowner will be greeted by a long, farmhouse-style front porch with columns, which leads into a spacious foyer. The home's ceilings are greater than 9 feet tall and there are hardwood floors throughout.

"All the living spaces are open and airy and bright," Lawrence says.

The home's rich colors, beautiful stacked stonework and tasteful moldings, sprinkled with wood, granite and tile, are just a few examples of its fine craftsmanship. The kitchen, outfitted with a convection oven, is so large it could include a keeping room or sitting area to accompany the existing breakfast nook.

The main-level master suite boasts a sitting area, access to a new backyard deck, and a bathroom with a double shower, jetted tub and intricate tile work. Upstairs, beyond the three bedrooms and Jack-and-Jill bath, there's room to expand into unfinished space.

The property's new landscaping, open deck and screened-in deck, all on a level lot, make this home move-in ready with years of update-free living a family can grow into.
