About This Home
Welcome to 81 Briarwood Drive, a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3 full-bath home offering the perfect blend of comfort, versatility, and homestead living in one of Guilford's most peaceful neighborhoods. The permitted, mostly finished walk-out basement adds exceptional living space with luxury vinyl flooring, a full bath, laundry hookups, and plumbing already in place for a future kitchenette, making it ideal for a recreation room, guest suite, home office, or potential in-law setup. An unfinished area remains for ample dry storage and mechanicals. A second laundry hookup has also been added on the main level for convenience. Nature lovers will appreciate the raised garden beds, greenhouse, chicken coop, mature fruit trees, grapevines, berry bushes, and established landscaping. The private backyard is surrounded by mature trees and features a screened porch, rustic brick patio, and firepit for relaxing or entertaining. The eat-in kitchen offers granite countertops and newer stainless steel LG appliances. Additional highlights include updated baths, a cozy pellet stove, newer roof, vinyl replacement windows, water purification system, attached garage, carport, and leased solar panels for energy savings. Conveniently located just minutes from Bishop's Orchards, Guilford Green, beaches, marinas, shopping, dining, golf, Guilford High School, and I-95, this move-in-ready home is a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, sustainability, and convenience.
