If you're seeking a move-in ready, impeccably renovated home in the highly sought-after Whitfield neighborhood of Spring Township, look no further! 1408 Dogwood Drive, situated on a beautifully landscaped 0.24-acre corner lot, is an absolute showstopper. This all-brick home has been expertly transformed from its original 1968 Whitman-custom built charm into a stunning traditional yet modern residence, featuring upgrades every homeowner dreams of. Since purchasing the home in 2012, the current owner has completed numerous renovation projects, all executed by professional contractors with exceptional craftsmanship. The home retains its original hardwood flooring, beautifully refinished to restore its natural charm, while the foyer now boasts timeless neutral tile. The formal living room shines with crown molding, gorgeous built-ins, and a cozy gas fireplace. The formal dining room, also with crown molding, is enhanced by elegant picture frame molding for a modern touch. The kitchen is a true standout, expanded by 200 sq. ft. to create a bright, spacious area with quality custom cabinetry, granite countertop, tile backsplash, a large penisula, and direct access to the two-car side-entry garage, laundry area separated by modern farmhouse barn doors, and sliding glass doors to the private back patio and yard. The 1/2 bathroom, conveniently located between the kitchen and family room, have been completely renovated with new plumbing, tile, fixtures, and updated layouts. Upstairs, you'll find four generously-sized bedrooms, each with beautifully refinished hardwood floors and ample closet space, complete with organizers and some with pocket doors. Both the full bathroom in the hall and master ensuite have been completely renovated with new plumbing, tile, fixtures, and updated layouts. The daylight basement offers additional storage or potential living space for future expansion. Improvements include a new 50-year shingle roof (2006), upgraded 200-amp electrical service, new gutters and downspouts, a new water heater (2023), and much more. Hunter Douglas plantation shutters, a humidifier, and a water treatment system add to the home's comfort and appeal. With all new trim, baseboards, doors, and windows installed between 2013-2023, this home is truly turn-key and ready for its new owners.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
