156 Magnolia Place Circle, Brandon, MS 39047

Located in the gated community of Magnolia Place, this lovely home is the kind of house that tends to fly off the market-and it's easy to see why. The open floor plan features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, beautiful wood floors, tall ceilings, and a corner fireplace with gas logs that gives the living room a warm, inviting feel.

The kitchen is ready for business with granite countertops, a breakfast bar, gas range with built-in microwave, plenty of cabinet space, and the refrigerator stays with the home. The spacious laundry room is another bonus, complete with granite countertops, and all of the bathrooms feature granite counters as well.

Now here is something a lot of buyers don't think about until they own a house: this home faces west--so when afternoon rolls around and you are ready to relax on the covered patio, fire up the grill, or let the kids play outside, the sun is on the other side of the house instead of beating down on you.

The backyard is a great size for kids to run around, throw the football, or just enjoy being outside, and backing up to the neighborhood retention pond adds another layer of privacy. Put it all together-gated neighborhood, great floor plan, quality finishes, private backyard, and a covered patio that actually works in the afternoon-and this is what I would call a slam dunk purchase.
