Mid-century character and an easygoing lifestyle in coveted Blue Ridge. Perched above the street with territorial views, this light-filled home has hardwood floors, a gas fireplace and an easy flow from inside to out. The updated kitchen opens directly to a generous covered deck, equally good for summer dinners, rainy morning coffee and everything in between. Two bedrooms and a renovated full bath sit on the main, including an oversized primary with two closets and direct access to the quiet backyard. Downstairs, a third bedroom, 3/4 bath, second fireplace, bonus space and separate entry give you plenty of room to spread out. A newer roof, freshly lined sewer and newly built deck mean some of the decidedly less glamorous projects are already checked off the list. And then there’s Blue Ridge. An Olympic-sized heated pool, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds and a private waterfront park are all part of the deal. Turns out, staying close to home can be pretty fun.
