There's a lot to love about 115 Spring Branch Drive — from the established neighborhood setting to the comfortable layout and the updates made over the past year. Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a spacious bonus room, sunroom, formal dining room and a welcoming living area with fireplace and plantation shutters. The kitchen features granite countertops, plenty of cabinet space and an easy flow into the main living areas. The current owners purchased the home less than a year ago and have spent that time caring for it and making improvements, including enhancing the backyard patio area to create a better space for grilling, entertaining and enjoying time outside. Their move is simply a change in lifestyle preference — the home itself has been well cared for and is ready for its next owner. The .63-acre lot gives you more space than you'll find in many neighborhood settings, along with a two-car garage and separate storage building. One of the biggest perks is the location. Johnston County Country Club is just around the corner for golf, pool and other amenities, and you're convenient to Four Oaks, Smithfield, I-95, shopping, dining and the continued growth happening throughout the area. If you're looking for a home with character, space and a well-established neighborhood feel, this one is worth seeing in person.
