Details
On a quiet court amid tall pines and magnolias, the circle drive draws you to this bucolic, southern gem - your personal decompression zone. The storybook, arched front door is your gateway to days-gone-by as you step onto the old-growth pine plank flooring - a treasure recovered from turn-of-the-century railway cars. And that's only the beginning. This timeless Southern Living floor plan with nine-foot ceilings is loaded with custom millwork and other accoutrements and has been meticulously maintained for more than two decades by the current stewards - and only the second owners of the lovely home. The two-story foyer leads guests to a generous living room, complete with built-in bookcases and a masonry, gas log fireplace. Beyond, the bright, coffee-sipping sunroom is easy like Sunday morning. A large eat-in kitchen provides ample storage, a breakfast nook, and granite counter-top seating for your cooking company. The adjacent dining room and family room offer plenty of conversation spaces when entertaining. At the end of the day, the main-level master suite is steps away. A second main-floor bedroom is ideal for a nursery, guests, or a convenient home office. And right where the soiled laundry collects, the main floor laundry is concealed in a closet. A large, raised deck and built-in gas grill adorns your private, fenced-in back yard to complete main-level living. Upstairs, three large bedrooms and two roomy, full bathrooms. Plus, a second laundry area! The walk-in storage attic is very handy and there's a whole-house exhaust fan for drawing in fresh outside air on a fall day. The partially finished, walk-out basement affords extra space for a gym or the kiddos, and loads of storage space. Your custom home stays cool under the canopy of mature trees. A deep, two-car garage with insulated doors and work room. Lawn equipment stores neatly under the sunroom. Modern Hunter irrigation controls automatically keep things green. Driveway lighting and mature azaleas and hostas abound. The current owners are moving closer to grandkids. When asked what they'll miss the most about this quiet, spacious and peaceful home, without hesitation they say, "Our wonderful neighbors". Also topping the list; the convenience of being half a mile away from anything they need yet feeling so removed from the fray. His and Hers walk-in closets. A modern kitchen. Entertainment provided by the hummingbirds outside the breakfast nook windows.
