Welcome home to this lovingly maintained home at 522 Briar KNoll.
Located in the highly sought after Nottingham Forest, this home is filled with natural light and great energy that the owners of 30 years have filled this home with.
The private pool will be a welcome break this summer, but the beautiful landscape with flowering shrubs and fruit trees create a private escape for summer.
These beautiful picture windows from the upstairs bonus room are so unique to this home and fill this space with natural light and happy thoughts. All windows are double pane.
An expansive formal entry boasts marble floors.
The spacious formal dining room was updated with Brazilian cherry hardwood floors and offers plenty of space for holiday celebrations with the family. The chandelier is an exclusion. This space could easily be converted into a study.
The formal living room was designed for more formal entertaining, but the Seller had the foresight to open this wall to the den and extend the cherry wood floors into both living rooms. This would be so easy to open even further for one giant living room.
Every room in this home is filled with so much natural light. Look at the wall of sliding doors overlooking the backyard from the den.
This home has an exceptional layout with so much open living space. The piano room could easily be converted an open dining and living room for today's modern lifestyle.
I love the natural wood beams in the den space! The wet bar off the "piano" room makes it convenient for entertaining. The chandelier in this space is also excluded.
There is so much great entertaining space in this home, and so many options for personalizing the interior to your own tastes.
The "piano" room boasts Brazilian Cherry floors, wood beamed ceilings, and a bonus built-in bar. This could be an optional space for a formal dining room. 
The downstairs powder room boasts a large vanity and wood cabinets. Conveniently located off the Breakfast room for guest to use.
The Sunny breakfast room overlooks the private pool in the backyard from double-paned sliding doors. The lighting in this home is very retro and would look awesome with white trim throughout.
The kitchen boasts lots of cabinets for storage and Granite counters, so little is needed to move in and make your own. The recent appliances have been well-maintained and include a double oven!
Another view of the spacious kitchen. There really is so much space here to create the home of your dreams.
The upstairs primary bedroom boasts lots of double pane windows and is 18X13 sf.
The ensuite primary bathroom has been updated with Granite counters. Lots of space for renovating.
Second upstairs bedroom is almost as big as the primary bedroom! 17x12 sf.
Third bedroom upstairs is also spacious with 12x15 sf.
The second bathroom up is a hollywood bathroom with two sinks.
Fourth bedroom upstairs is currently being used as a home office. Lots of optional space for a home office in this home.
This expansive covered patio adds so much more living space outside. Be ready for summer barbecues by the pool this summer.
Cool off in your private pool this summer surrounded by lovely landscaping. The Sellers are gardeners and have lots of fruit trees and flowering shrubs.
View of the pool towards the house, where the Seller has replaced all the siding with hardi plank siding.
Walk down the street and hop on 40 miles of hike and bike trails at Terry Hershey Park.
World Class dining and shopping are just 10 minutes away at City Centre.
