Property Description

Nestled on a nearly quarter-acre corner lot in the highly sought-after Downtown Clayton area, this charming all-brick ranch offers timeless quality, everyday comfort, and unbeatable walkability. Built in 1998, this immaculately maintained home welcomes you with site-finished hardwood floors and a warm, inviting layout. Enjoy 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths, each with ceiling fans and two with generous walk-in closets. The large living room centers around a beautiful masonry fireplace with gas logs, while the kitchen and dining area are brightened by a lovely bay window. Major updates include a new HVAC in 2023 and an architectural shingle roof added in 2016. The oversized 2-car carport, constructed as part of the original home, blends seamlessly with the design and includes an attached storage room. With its existing roofline, it offers an excellent opportunity to convert into a fully enclosed garage. Best of all, you're just a short walk to everything Downtown Clayton has to offer--restaurants, boutiques, retail, breweries, nightlife, and more. Refrigerator, washer, and dryer all convey, making this home truly move-in ready.
