About this home
Welcome to this beautifully updated brick home in the desirable Armstrong Circle neighborhood, offering space, character, and exceptional value.
The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a cozy fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and a renovated ensuite bath with new tile flooring, updated countertops, lighting, tiled backsplash, soaking tub, and walk-in shower.
The heart of the home is the open and inviting kitchen, updated with refreshed cabinetry, butcher block countertops, and a new dishwasher—seamlessly connecting the living room, dining area, and expansive family room. The oversized family room, over 450 square feet, offers incredible flexibility for entertaining, a media space, or additional living needs.
The living room also features built-in bookshelves and flows directly to the screened-in back porch, where you can enjoy peaceful mornings overlooking the beautifully landscaped, terraced backyard filled with over 100 plants and flowers.

Additional updates include a new roof (2025), fresh interior and exterior paint, updated lighting throughout, a renovated half bath, and a thoughtfully redesigned family entry with custom organization bench and storage. A French drain has also been installed for improved drainage.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.
Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
