The kitchen island can be the starting point for a slow morning or the gathering spot when dinner is underway. At 2928 Eckersley Drive in Murfreesboro's Hayden Cove, that everyday connection shapes this 2022 build: 2,155 square feet on one level, with three bedrooms, two baths and a glass-door flex room. Gray cabinetry, granite countertops and a tile backsplash give the kitchen a coordinated finish, while island seating keeps conversation close to the cooking. There is room here for a weekday breakfast at the counter or a meal at the dining table, with the kitchen, dining and living areas connected in an open layout. A fireplace anchors the living room and gives furniture arrangements a natural focal point. Behind glass doors, the flex room offers a separate setting for a home office, reading room or creative workspace, so a workday or project can have a place beyond the main gathering area. In the primary suite, a tray ceiling adds dimension overhead, and a walk-in closet provides dedicated storage. The primary bath features a double vanity, separate tub and shower, giving each part of the daily routine its own space. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for the way you use your home. Carpet, luxury vinyl and tile bring a mix of finishes throughout. Practical details include a laundry room, a drop zone for the things that come and go each day, and an attached two-car garage. Outside, the covered front porch offers a place to pause, while the rear patio looks toward a tree-lined backdrop. Bring a fresh cup of coffee outside, make space for a few planters or take dinner out to the patio. Area recreation includes Barfield Crescent Park, with trails, picnic areas and disc golf, plus the Murfreesboro Greenway. Publix at Market at Salem Cove adds a grocery option to the surrounding area. From the fireplace-centered living room to the glass-door flex space, this Hayden Cove home pairs connected gathering areas with rooms you can put to work in your own way.
