Experience the signature ambiance of southern living, from the twin oaks and white columns in front, to a koi pond and meandering gardens in back. In pristine condition, 4 Saddleworth Place offers 4,200 square feet and is listed for $549,400 by Pat Moore of Lindsey & Associates. With stunning looks in a private cul-de-sac, the circular drive takes you to either the column-lined front entrance or to the side-load, three-car garage.
The grounds all around create a serene, shady setting even in the sweltering summer heat.
Reminiscent of the grand dames along the Natchez Trace, the foyer/gathering room is super spacious and offers glimpses of adjoining rooms by way of wide arched entryways lavishly accented with molding and square columns. Formal dining to one side connects to the kitchen.
Living is easy around the super large, 22-by-24 great room lined along one wall with French-style windows. The relaxing retreat with a gaslog fireplace overlooks an enticing heated and cooled sunroom along the back with views of the lovely grounds. Cherry stained built-ins contrast with the white trim of the classic hearth, and the kitchen and casual dining are an arched entrance away.
Super inviting with a bay window overlooking the sunroom, the dining room has the handsome kitchen as a backdrop. Walls of custom cabinetry, some with glass fronts, include special touches like two appliance garages, tray cubbies, roll-out drawers for pots and pans and two lazy susans. Granite countertops include a drop sink. A trash compactor and center island with electric four-burner stovetop and storage add convenience.
From the 35-by-12 sunroom, a park-like setting with a gazebo and koi pond beckon by way of paver steps against a background of green. A side door off the porch opens to steps down to the yard and under-deck storage
Off the sunroom and kitchen, an interior hall takes you to the private, 18-by-21 split master suite, a study that could convert into a bedroom or craft room and the utility room. A full light French door near the master entrance opens to the sunroom. With spa-style pampering, the master bath features a soaking tub as the royal centerpiece, with his and her split vanities on either side. Separate walk-in closets flank the entrance.
Two large guest bedrooms are down an interior hall that can be closed off for privacy. One features a private bath with dual sinks. The other has access to a Hollywood bath with a furniture-style vanity.
Open House is today from 2-4 p.m. Call Pat Moore at 479-619-8600. Directions: I-540 to Exit 93 south; right on Ridgefield; right on Saddleworth to end of cul-de-sac.
