867 S Villa Dr

Welcome to Lincoln Villa, one of the most iconic east side neighborhoods. Part Architectural Digest, part Southern Living, and all desirable, these special streets are filled with mature trees and enviable abodes. This spacious and light-drenched home is like a country cottage hidden in the city! Situated on the raised corner lot at Powell and Villa, you and your guests will feel enchanted by the lush well-kept landscaping that teems with brilliant butterfly and bird-loving flowers. A stone path leads to the cozy side porch with new steps and fresh paint. Upon entering from there, you are met with absolute calm. Rebuilt from the studs in 2005, and meticulously maintained ever since, everything about this home is inviting and fresh. Currently used as a flex space, the dining room has a unique pass-through to the kitchen and offers tile countertops and crisp white cabinetry. Entering into the great room, an expanded kitchen with included appliances looks out at the breakfast nook and gorgeous sunroom. This room gives the entire main level a larger-than-life feel and ushers the south sun in. The seller reports that the fireplace has a stainless steel flue, which is resistant to soot buildup, allowing for ease of use and maintenance. 2 comfortable bedrooms and an updated galley bathroom complete the main level. Upstairs, another bedroom is the perfect get-away space and houses abundant storage. In the charming and cozy basement, a wet-bar with included refrigerator are perfect for entertaining, while a built-in desk and additional shelving allow for studies. Plenty of storage down here as well. The surprisingly large backyard is privacy fenced and home to flowers, herbs, vegetables, and vines. A secluded back patio overlooks the included playset and all the memories you can create. There are simply no other homes quite like this one. You may have just found "the one."
