A chef's kitchen with full scullery and pantry anchors the main level, a wet bar connects the dining and family rooms at the center of the home, and a sprawling deck and patio wait just beyond. Out back, the property borders Mordecai Spring City Park; out front, dinner at Stanbury or have your pick of restaurants on Person Street or East Franklin- All within walking distance. Offered at $1,695,000.
