The home sits on the corner of Overbrook and Crested Bird. Crested Bird has a lot of residential traffic, but the windows and balcony face Overbrook. The entrance leads into a small area with a door leading to the attached two-car garage and the carpeted staircase. Up the flight of stairs brings you directly into the great room, consisting of the kitchen, living room and dining room. The ceilings are extra high, and with the windows reaching just feet from the ceiling, the great room has an abundance of natural light. All of the windows are furnished with plantation shutters. The home is in excellent condition.

Light neutral carpet flows up throughout all of the rooms apart from the kitchen and bathrooms. The dining area and living room are in one rectangular space that can fit a good size dining table. I am not sure how clean the carpets can stay in the dining area, but they are currently in great condition.

The balcony is narrow but long. It can easily fit a couple of chairs on each side of the glass door leading out to the area. Unlike some of the other balconies in the neighborhood, the balcony has more privacy from the neighbors across the street because there are no balconies sitting directly across the street facing the home. A balcony sits to the left, so if your neighbor is sitting outside at the same time then there would be a lack of privacy.

The kitchen includes caeserstone countertops, white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. There is plenty of storage space and counter space, however the kitchen lacks a true floor to ceiling pantry.

Off a small hall sits the shared bathroom and 2 bedrooms. The shared bathroom has a single sink with white cabinetry and a large tub/shower combo. It is in excellent condition.

The secondary bedroom is a decent size with dual sliding closet doors. Just outside of the bedrooms are a linen closet and closet for a stackable washer and dryer. The master bedroom is a nice size with windows bringing in plenty of natural light. Through an open doorway is the master bathroom with dual sinks, a large walk-in shower, a walk-in closet and a window in the separate toilet area. The bathroom lacks a privacy door so light or noise from the bathroom can travel into the bedroom while utilized, but it looks like a door could easily be added within the frame, if desired.

Overall, this home is clean and in excellent condition. I like the high ceilings and the amount of natural light throughout the home, however some people prefer more distance separating the secondary bedroom from the master bedroom. The home may get some traffic noise from cars driving down Crested Bird, but the location of the property is walking distance to Stonegate Elementary School and the community amenities.
