VALDOSTA — Lots of light from many windows flood this home at 4617 Briarberry Drive, giving a view of the pi?ce de r?sistance of this house, the screened-in pool in the back.
Pastel colors on some walls add to the feeling of relaxation of this three-bedroom, three-bath home in the newer section of Foxborough Subdivision.
Located on a corner lot on .34 acre, this one-owner home of Donnie and Debra Nicholson was built in 2002 by Dennis Grimsley. The 2,175-square-foot home is constructed of concrete siding with stone accents in the front. The well-manicured and maintained front yard, which features beautiful Knock-Out roses and other flowers and plants, welcomes the visitors to take a step inside the decorative glass door with transom and side lights.
It’s those large Palladium windows which let in lots of light, giving an airy feeling to the home.
To the right of the foyer is a sitting room, which could easily be used as an office, den or bedroom. This room and the formal dining room to the left really stand out painted in navy blue and trimmed in white. The dining room also features crown molding and judges panels.
Another desirable feature is the 10-foot ceilings in the kitchen, living and dining rooms.
The dining room flows into the kitchen with its cherry cabinets, white appliances, tile floor, breakfast bar and eating area.
A hallway to the left of the eating area leads to the large master suite with its trey ceiling, crown molding and ceiling fan. The 15x12 master bath almost outshines the master bedroom because of its huge size. The bath features 16-inch tiles on the floor, tile shower, corner Jacuzzi tub with decorative glass window above, linen closet, separate toilet area, and a large walk-in closet with an octagonal window.
Down the hall are a laundry room with cherry cabinets and space next to it for an extra refrigerator or freezer, and a door leading to the two-car garage with space outside for a third vehicle. In the garage, located on the left side of the house, are an attic and storage closet.
On the other side of the house are the two other bedrooms, one painted in soft yellow and set up for grandchildren to visit, and the other, painted in soft lavender, which would make a great teen-ager suite. The latter has a door leading to the screened-in, 15x30 gunite pool with a huge entertainment area surrounding it. Relaxing and therapeutic, the pool has a seat in it where one can wash away the cares of the day. The pool is very low maintenance with its pool cleaner and screen to keep out leaves and debris. The pool overlooks a garden of roses and other flowers in the back yard, kept beautiful by a sprinkler system.
The pool is seen from the living room through four windows with transoms. The living room features a massive entertainment center, crown molding, recessed lighting, soft yellow walls and light-colored carpet.
The home, prewired for a security system, is available for $232,900 since the Nicholsons are relocating to Texas. To view it, travel on North Valdosta Road to the traffic light at Hwy. 41. Turn left into Foxborough Subdivision, right on Willow Wood, then left on Briarberry Drive. The house is on the corner of Briarberry and Hummingbird.
