This stunning custom-built residence offers the perfect blend of Southern charm, thoughtful design, luxury finishes, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the stately "L"-shaped wraparound front porch, white railings, mature landscaping, and inviting curb appeal. Step inside approximately 2,700 heated square feet of beautifully designed living space featuring Brazilian Cherry hardwood flooring, plantation shutters, crown molding, surround sound, built-in cabinetry, and an open-concept layout. The spacious living room centers around a cozy fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen, creating the perfect environment for entertaining. At the heart of the home is an extraordinary chef's kitchen featuring granite countertops, custom cherry cabinetry with pull-out shelving, stainless steel appliances, decorative tile backsplash, pantry, and large wraparound island with seating for seven or more. Whether hosting holiday gatherings or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this kitchen was designed to be the gathering place of the home. The private first-floor owner's suite is thoughtfully situated on the opposite side of the home from the guest bedrooms, providing privacy and comfort. This spacious retreat features a tray ceiling, crown molding, walk-in closet with custom shelving, and beautiful views overlooking blooming rose bushes. The luxurious ensuite bath offers dual vanities, a garden tub, separate shower, and private water closet. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom are conveniently located on the main level, while the dedicated office with French doors provides the ideal work-from-home space, study, music room, or hobby area. Upstairs, the oversized bonus room with its own half bath offers endless possibilities as a fourth bedroom, media room, guest suite, game room, or private retreat. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. Relax on the screened porch overlooking the lake, grill beneath the new pergola, or gather around the fire table while enjoying peaceful water views. A beautiful stone walkway lined with seasonal azaleas leads to the patio, while mature Crepe Myrtles, a graceful willow tree, and established landscaping create a private backyard sanctuary.
