An alternate view of the family room highlights the impressive 33'x17' dimensions and the fine finishes that include fresh neutral paint, elegant crown molding, recessed lighting, a lighted ceiling fan, and a stacked slate accent wall with lighted art niches for display.
Welcome to 8 Earlham Drive! This charming single-story home with a circular driveway and iron gate leading to the oversized 2 car garage is secluded on a quiet cul-de-sac street in the historic Quaker's Landing community in the heart of Friendswood ISD.
Mature landscaping and sprawling shade trees line the circular drive leading to the covered front porch of this charming home with a freshly repainted brick and Hardie Plank elevation and a completely remodeled interior with all new electrical & pex piping.
A beautiful mahogany front door with Flemish glass insert and scrolled iron detailing opens to reveal this inviting foyer with hand-scraped hardwood floors, fresh paint, crown molding, and a stunning stacked slate accent wall.
A single step down from the foyer leads into this sunken family room with a pair of front-facing windows with 2-inch blinds, hand-scraped hardwood floors, and anchored by a gas log fireplace with a stacked slate hearth and a milled wood mantle.
Continue beyond the foyer into this stunning kitchen adorned with abundant recessed panel cabinetry, sleek granite countertops, a glass tile backsplash, and a trio of statement pendant lights above the large center island with seating.
All appliances in the home were replaced in 2018 with stainless appliances including a dishwasher, a dual basin undermount sink, and a Samsung flex duo oven with a gas cooktop with center griddle, a modern style vent hood, and a convenient wall-mounted pot filler.
Looking from the front of the kitchen towards the rear of the home, notice the built-in buffet cabinet with under cabinet lighting & display shelves, tons of space for a breakfast area, and sliding barn doors on either side leading to the large utility room and a secondary bedroom.
Gather around the table with treasured family & friends in this quaint dining room with tons of character found in the beadboard ceiling, wood floors, brick walls, and a stacked slate accent wall punctuated by a pair of rear-facing windows.
Back towards the front of the home, French doors open from the left side of the foyer to reveal this secluded study with neutral paint, crown molding, a lighted ceiling fan, a front-facing window, and a wall of custom built-ins with wired lighting.
Just off of the kitchen, beyond a private exit to the front yard, this extra spacious 19'x12' master suite boasts neutral paint with crisp white crown molding, wood floors, a stacked slate accent wall, and a must-see walk-in closet with custom built-in storage.
Adjoining the sunlit master suite, the master bathroom boasts separate his & hers granite top vanities with undermount rectangular basin sinks, brushed nickel waterfall faucets, framed mirrors, grey painted cabinetry, and stylishly updated lighting.
Enjoy a spa-worthy experience in this master bathroom when you soak into the deep waters of the jetted tub or rinse off in the oversized shower with a handheld showerhead, frameless glass enclosure, and a slate tile surround with a pebble style floor.
The first of three secondary bedrooms is located away from the others, just off of the kitchen, and could serve as a secondary master suite, offering plush carpet, neutral paint, a lighted ceiling fan, a rear-facing window, and a private en suite bathroom.
The private en-suite bathroom associated with the previous bedroom features an extended granite top vanity with a rectangular basin undermount sink, a framed mirror, designer lighting, and a frameless glass-enclosed shower with a slate tile surround.
This extra-large 18'x11' bedroom is located at the far end of the home and showcases an updated lighted ceiling fan, fresh neutral paint, plush carpeting, a rear-facing window shaded by 2-inch blinds, dual closets, and an en suite bathroom.
Adjoining the previous bedroom, this bathroom offers an interesting configuration with a private frameless glass shower with a slate tile surround, and in the next alcove, a shared water closet with a pedestal sink and commode.
The fourth and final bedroom in the home is located near the family room and boasts a lighted ceiling fan, neutral grey paint, plush carpet underfoot, dual closets with double doors for ease of access, and a shared Jack & Jill style bathroom.
The previous bedroom enjoys the privacy of this en suite bath with a combination bathtub and shower with a slate tile surround, a granite top vanity with a rectangular basin sink and grey painted cabinetry, and through the door to the left, a shared water closet.
Step out the back door from the dining room to this covered back patio with a lighted ceiling fan, ceramic tile floors, a breezeway to the garage, and an enclosure that could easily be converted back to a screened room, if desired.
For a busy household, a circular drive is great, but this house also boasts a separate driveway with an iron gate that leads to this extra large parking pad with an oversized two car garage with workshop space, additional parking, and space to turn around.
Enjoy a quiet night beneath the stars, gathered in this fit pit area in your own, park-like backyard, surrounded by mature landscaping in rock lined beds along the rear fence line.
When you make 8 Earlham your home, you'll enjoy plenty of room to run in this secluded backyard! Add a playset, a pool, a fire pit, or a workshop to customize the space to suit the desires of your heart!
