Description

Rivercrest Drive is a quiet two-block street on the banks of Elm Creek. Seldom are homes available on this street due to its desirability and the uniqueness of each home in this secluded part of Old Elmwood. 779 Rivercrest Drive is definitional of these qualities - this 6 bedroom, 4 bath home (which sold off-market to the last two buyers) with its fossilized limestone exterior and traditional design has been meticulously updated over the years, melding historic charm with modern convenience. From the enty, one accesses a bedroom with ensuite bath - ideal for private study or dedicated guest suite. The traditional formal living and dining suite opens into the heart of the home - an open-concept kitchen with brick floors, stainless appliances, granite counters, island, and subway-tile backsplash that flows seamlessly into informal dining separated from the den by a gas-log fireplace. The four, additional, secondary bedrooms each share two baths - two of the bedrooms (added in 2006) are joined by a common bath with framless glass shower surrounds and modern fixtures; the other, two secondary bedrooms share a hall bath on a corridor to the side-entrance, two-car garage. The generously-sized primary bedroom and its ensuite bath with dual vanities, frameless glass shower, & jetted tub has a large walk-in closet. Two outdoor spaces allow enjoyment al fresco - a patio with outdoor fireplace off the kitchen and a deep, east-facing patio oriented to your backyard for shady evenings under mature pecan trees. A bonus: a 422 sf basement with window wells providing natural light. This unique property provides a turnkey purchase on a street of historic homes in Old Elmwood.
