428 Autumn Oak Drive, Madison, MS 39110

Simply gorgeous inside and out! Located on a quiet cul-de-sac lot in gated Oak Hollow, this updated home will check those boxes on your wishlist in a splendid home that is move-in ready. Let's start with the need for more space -- this nearly 4000SF house contains 4/5 Bedrooms and 4 Baths PLUS an office.

It is packed with closets, cabinets, and storage areas. Need an open floor plan? The sellers removed a wall and now the kitchen flows into the family living area keeping the family cook involved in family activities. Want a lovely first-floor primary suite?

You will admire the vaulted ceiling detail in the bedroom area, and the remote-controlled black-out curtains set on a timer. The up-dated marble bath has luxurious HEATED FLOORS, a jetted tub, a separate shower, and a large walk-in closet. This primary bedroom also opens directly into the private sitting room/office.

Wishing for a large playroom/exercise space that could also serve as a 5th bedroom? Just up the kitchen stairway, there's a versatile space that even has a wet bar. Yearning for a super-sized laundry room/mudroom just off the garage? This floorplan has you covered, with room for second refrigerator/freezer.

Hoping for a park-like back yard where you can relax, entertain, watch the children play? Just step out of the family room (through the newly installed out-swinging French doors) onto a brick-floored screened porch, which leads out onto a covered grilling area on the upper deck.

Beyond that, step down to a huge, I mean HUGE deck, one that has hosted many a party. There is a covered TV perfect for enjoying sporting events or movies with family and friends. Turn around and you'll be happily surprised by an unexpectedly large side yard, where kids can play soccer and practice with a batting cage.

And most importantly at the top of everyone's wish-list: to find that house that not only meets the needs of your family, but one that gives joy, beauty and serenity. Those harmonious houses that mend your soul and replenish your spirit don't come along very often; it takes years to create such tranquility. You'll feel it when you step inside. Don't let this one get away.
