Property details
About 717 S Kennedy St
Step inside and fall in love with a home that perfectly blends timeless style with everyday functionality. One of the first things you'll notice is the stunning custom white Georgian marble fireplace-complete with a remote-controlled fireplace. It's a true showstopper and the heart of the main living space. Major updates? Check. The roof was completely torn off and replaced in October 2024. Fresh paint throughout the interior and brand-new carpet in the great room, upstairs hallway, and all bedrooms give the home a clean, updated feel. The kitchen is a dream for anyone who loves to cook or entertain. Fully remodeled with custom cabinetry, high-end granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances-including a double oven. You'll love the massive island with seating area, built-in KitchenAid mixer cabinet, under-cabinet lighting, pantry and decorative outlet placement above the cabinets. The open layout makes hosting a breeze-you can prep in the kitchen while still being part of the action. Right off the kitchen is a maintenance-free Trex deck, ideal for grilling or relaxing outdoors. Up a short flight of stairs, you'll find a spacious bathroom with custom tile and a jetted tub, plus a handy laundry chute. All three bedrooms are generously sized, each with dual closets. The primary suite feels like a retreat bathroom, custom tiled shower (with bench!), and a second laundry chute. Head downstairs to a fully finished walkout basement. It's already equipped with a pool table, ceiling-mounted surround sound, and another cozy gas fireplace with remote. There's also a convenient half bath and a separate laundry room with a utility sink. Plus, a wet bar setup with a sink, cabinets, and counter space for serving guests. And don't miss the oversized walk-in storage room-ideal for organizing everything you need. The home also features a newly poured driveway, and there's even an outdoor electrical hookup in place-ready for your hot tub! The oversized two-car garage has extra space for tools or lawn equipment, and a backyard storage shed is included for even more room. All stainless-steel appliances stay, including the fridge, dishwasher, stovetop, double oven, microwave, garbage disposal, and washer. HVAC was updated in 2015, and the natural gas water heater was replaced in 2019. Location-wise, you're just a block away from Eastland Elementary-super convenient for families! This home is move in ready!
