The Brick Ranch on Rosehill That Asks Nothing of Your Knees Here's the thing about one-story living: you don't appreciate it until you've carried a laundrybasket up a flight of stairs one too many times. 3029 Rosehill Dr, Charlotte, NC 28212 | Listed by Khin Yee | Page 1 of 6 3029 Rosehill Dr is a brick ranch in East Charlotte, and all 1,141 square feet of it happen on onelevel. Three bedrooms. A full bath and a half bath. Not a stair in the floor plan. Come through the white front door, the one set off by stone accent and flanked in black shutters,and you land in a living room with wood floors, crown molding, and room for a real sofa withsomewhere left to walk. The kitchen opens just off it: white cabinetry with brass-tone knobs, tile counters, and a tilebacksplash with small decorative accents someone chose on purpose. A window sits over thestainless double sink, because dishes go better with a view of the yard. Then there's the sun room. Wrapped in windows, tile underfoot, a ceiling fan overhead, and oneinterior wall left in painted brick. Be warned: this is the room you will end up in. Three bedrooms sit down the hall, and a separate utility room off the back takes the laundrywithout stealing space from anywhere else. Outside, mature trees shade a deep lot, and chain-link fencing wraps the sides and rear. This is a house that spends its square footage well. Come see it before somebody else does.Contact Khin Yee to schedule a showing.
