1203 Parkside Drive

There are homes with plenty of square footage—and then there are homes where that space truly changes the way you live. With more than 4,000 finished square feet, an almost 17,000-square-foot lot and spaces designed for gathering, entertaining and unwinding, this two-story Craftsman has something to discover around every corner. Just blocks from Parkside Elementary with convenient access to East College Drive. A grand foyer with dramatic two-story ceilings and views of the upper balcony makes an unforgettable first impression. From there, the main level opens into spaces that feel made for everyday life and memorable gatherings—a front office, expansive living room and an incredible kitchen/dining space anchored by a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. Stunning Cambria countertops, a wraparound island, new stainless appliances and new engineered hardwood flooring give the heart of the home a fresh feel, while direct patio access keeps indoor and outdoor living connected. Upstairs, all four bedrooms have walk-in closets, while the impressive primary suite offers two of its own, room for a sitting area, French-door access to the laundry room and a spacious ensuite with soaking tub, tiled shower and double vanity. And when you think you’ve seen all the living space, head downstairs. Recently added finished living space expands an already versatile lower level with a billiard room, bonus/flex room, new work area and an incredible amount of storage with built-in shelving. Key elements for a half bath have also been added, and direct access to the attached finished garage is a bonus you won’t expect. Outside, mature trees and beautifully cared-for landscaping surround the approximately 840-square-foot patio, creating a setting that feels like an extension of the home—ready for morning coffee, dinner outdoors and evenings around the fire. Recent improvements go well beyond cosmetic, including replacement of wood shakes where needed, new engineered hardwood flooring, new kitchen appliances, new front and back doors, additional finished lower-level living space, iron fencing, refreshed landscaping, updated lighting and fans, an upgraded sump pump system, rear gutters and more. Distinctive Craftsman character, incredible space, meaningful updates and an outdoor setting worth lingering in—this is a home that deserves to be experienced.
