6405 White Oak: A Retro Ranch

July 18, 2011 11:28 am

Located in an established neighborhood, 6405 White Oak is more than it seems from the curb.  For starters, the location is convenient to shopping areas, yet far enough away that traffic is not an issue.  Driving into the neighborhood, I noticed that the surrounding homes were mostly brick as well, and most were nicely maintained.  When I arrived at the property, I couldn't help but notice the giant magnolia tree that graces the front yard with ample shade and provides a decorative touch.

As I stepped into the home, the first thing I noticed was the re-finished hardwood floors. The hardwoods run through the bedrooms and hallway, making cleanup a cinch. Also, I noticed the living room (photo at right) which is fairly large and would be the ideal room in which to host guests.  With the kitchen and dining room attached, a dinner party would be a snap!

As a bonus, the garage has been finished with wall-to-wall carpet and would be a great casual family room or a large den.  A sizeable utility room with built-in cabinets is attached to the family room and would be perfect for storing all the little extras a home requires.

Down the hall are the three bedrooms, all of which are decent size.  The master bedroom has an attached bathroom, complete with tiling and updated fixtures.  All of the bedrooms have hardwood floors and natural light to make them warm and cozy.

The crowning glory of 6405 White Oak is the updated kitchen. With it's mod 60's feel, this space brings a smile to any face.  Stainless steel appliances, solid countertops, and a breakfast nook make this galley-style kitchen an ideal workspace.  Also, the checkerboard floors are easy to clean.  Off of the breakfast nook is a large closet that could be used for a pantry, or for miscellaneous storage.

Enjoy Pensacola evenings on your screened porch, just a step out of the kitchen.  With such a large, fenced backyard and 2 storage buildings, the possibilities are endless.  Host a barbecue for your friends. Add a pool or hot tub, or build the kids their own treehouse compound.  Do you like pets? There is ample room for a dog of any size to run and play.  Or create the yard of your dreams with some creative landscaping.  This yard has plenty of space for your imagination to run wild.

At a price of $94,900, this is one deal that can't be beat!

202 Gadsden: A North Hill Gem

July 18, 2011 11:24 am

This North Hill, Pensacola home is truly a gem. First, the curb appeal is stunning.  Look at the details on the porches, the color variations, and the lovely landscaping!  The outside of the home is in great shape, and is an appealing color combination.  Down each side of the home, there is custom landscaping, including a couple of palm trees.  The backyard is well-kept and large enough to accommodate a barbecue with friends. Also, there is a small back porch, large enough for a chair or two, and a patio.  At the end of the long driveway is a garage, complete with a side entrance.  It appears that this could be used as a workshop as there are two windows on the side.   In addition to it's beautiful appearance, 202 W. Gadsden has other bonuses:  2 HVAC units, a sprinkler system, six fireplaces, new wiring, and many custom features.

Inside, this home is a dream come true.  Built in the 1890's, the ceilings are high and the rooms are sizeable.  The living room (at right) has large windows that let in the sun.  Notice the refinished hardwood floors and the detailed fireplace.  The wood floors run throughout most of the home and lend it a "warm and fuzzy" feeling.  There is a formal dining room with attached kitchenette right next to the living area, so dinner parties would be a cinch to host.

 Perhaps my favorite room of this home is the gorgeous gourmet kitchen.  To begin, there are lots of cabinets for storage.  A center island provides extra work space, and also houses the gas stove.  The backsplash is intricately tiled with varying colors and masterfully blends with the warm tones of the room.  Opposite the sink area are more cabinets next to a second window.  Also convenient, an informal dining room is attached to the kitchen, so the kids can do their homework while you clean up after dinner.  It's the perfect family hang out!

My other favorite space is the master bathroom.  Just look at these custom cabinets and his and hers sinks!  But that's not all this room has to offer:  In the corner is a magnificent soaking tub!  There is a sitting area in the center of the room and plenty of space to prep for work, or have a "spa day" on a lazy Sunday.  The tiled shower is in its own room behind closed doors, so two people can get ready without being cramped.

There is so much more to this home that you need to see for yourself!  To take a Visual Tour, CLICK HERE.  For more information, or to schedule a showing, Call Phil at 850-380-7360.   Thanks for stopping by!
