THE HEART OF BUTTONBALL! Looking for a great yard, updated kitchen and loads of living spaces? 226 Carriage Drive is the answer! Spacious, updated white kitchen with butcher block counters, stainless appliances (including gas range!) & soft-close cabinetry has a nicely sized eating area with bay window and fabulous views of the backyard. Hardwood floors and current, neutral colors run throughout the first floor. The front to back living room includes a fireplace and access to the HEATED porch area, which would make an awesome playroom, office or second dining area. The other family/living area runs across the front of the house and has terrific access to the dining area/kitchen. An updated half bath with tile floor and laundry rounds out the first floor. Hardwood floors continue up to the second floor's 3 bedrooms, all with great closet space. The full bath is pleasing to the eye -- it's been updated with white fixtures and perfect grey paint. And if you need to overflow from the 2 living areas and the porch, look no further than the walk-out basement which includes a second half bathroom. Outside is also a treat -- the backyard slopes gently from the house to a HUGE flat area. Below the back deck you'll find a clever, space-saving shed/storage area. Public utilities, natural gas & a can't be beat location -- walk or bike the sidewalks to GHS, Buttonball Lane School, Rotary Park, Ross Park & even the restaurants, coffee shops and library in the town center!
