4154 Oakridge Drive, Jackson, MS 39216 (MLS# 4019253)

It is no surprise that this gracious home has been featured in publications such as Southern Living and Mississippi Magazine. Newer construction on one of Fondren's favorite streets, the 4160 square foot home has a resort-like feel, thanks in part to the keeping room with soaring vaulted ceiling, which opens onto a deep, covered L-shaped porch overlooking the pool, hot tub, cabana and 1185 square foot guest house. The main house offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths as well as a charming cherry-paneled study with fireplace and built-ins. In addition to three bedrooms upstairs, there is a bonus room, which could be used in a variety of ways: workout space, art studio, kids' den, etc. The well-appointed first floor master is light and airy and opens onto the porch. The spa-like master bath offers slate floors, separate his and her Corian vanities, a walk-through shower, jetted tub and 2 walk-in closets with built-ins. The kitchen/keeping area is the real treat: a wall of windows and French doors brings the outside in to this comfortable, inviting space complete with wood-burning fireplace and built-ins. Clerestory windows in the vaulted ceiling enlarge the already spacious room. The kitchen features an island with plenty of workspace, barstool seating, Corian countertops, a built-in wine rack, double ovens, a gas Wolf range, built-in microwave, glass front cabinets and plenty of storage for china and serving pieces. A breakfast room offers a spot for casual meals, as well as a desk area, more storage and French doors to the porch. The large, formal dining room overlooks the tree-shaded front lawn through a large arched window. With its wonderful flow and multiple living areas, this home was built for entertaining. Guests sitting under the ceiling fans on the back porch enjoy views of the kidney-shaped, heated pool and hot tub, as well as the cabana where arched double doors stylishly hide pool equipment, but also offer a wet bar and beverage cooler. The guest house features its own front porch deck, providing a perfect spot for visitors to enjoy their morning coffee, a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, bathroom with shower, living area and bedroom with plenty of storage. The only problem is your guests might not want to leave! Additional features of this unique property include copper gutters, irrigation system, storage galore, a spacious laundry room with sink and half bath, china closet near the dining room, several patio areas, a fieldstone front porch and a fully-fenced back yard.
