This unique property sits on a 1-acre wooded lot, your own sanctuary! A Southern charm, all brick exterior with an impressive columned front entry makes for great curb appeal. As you walk into the vaulted foyer, you will be wowed by all of the architectural details that cannot be replicated for this price. The grand stairway is picture-perfect, and you will immediately notice the upgraded millwork. The foyer flows into an elegant sitting room with a beautiful coffered ceiling and gas fireplace. Perfect for having that quiet conversation or reading by the cozy fire. Next, you will enter the spacious great room, which has custom-designed cabinetry with bookcases, cabinets for storage, and a place to hang a television. A wall of custom Pella sliders allows incredible year-round views of the woods, which is so peaceful! The open-concept kitchen is an entertainer's dream! Plenty of room for everyone to congregate! The cabinets are cherry wood with granite countertops, the appliances are all stainless steel, and the refrigerator is brand new with a hidden beverage center! The island has room for counter stools, and there is also an eat-in area for a good-sized table. There are also 2 pantry cabinets! Open to the kitchen is an elegant dining room for the holidays or dinner parties. Off of the entry from the garage is a large coat closet and a separate laundry room with cabinets, a walk-in closet for storage, and an elevator leading up to the second level. There is also a full bath and a flex room, with another walk-in closet that could be used as a private office space or a bedroom. The hardwood floors on the first level have just been refinished. The second level boasts 3 more large bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms and a large loft area overlooking the foyer (which could be converted to a 5th bedroom if needed). The primary suite is grand indeed! The bedroom itself is very large and has access to the elevator. The ensuite bathroom is gigantic, with Cherry wood cabinets, a large shower, and a whirlpool tub. A ton of storage and room for a sitting area! The huge walk-in closet is to die for and leads into another large finished storage area. There is also a 2, 000-square-foot attic storage space with plywood floors above this room. Storage galore! The carpeting in the bedrooms and loft is brand new! The 3-car heated garage has a huge 2-car bonus area for extra cars, storage, or a workshop. There is also a staircase that leads up to the storage area on the second level. The whole interior has been repainted, and the back deck has new aluminum railings. This house was built by a builder for his personal home, so in addition to being all brick, it has 2 x 6 wall construction and Flexicore (concrete) subfloors on the first floor. A creek runs through the property, which is dry most of the time. Its purpose is to handle the runoff of heavy rains. The house sits on a full foundation, and because of the creek, the engineering was innovatively done to withstand 100-year flooding. All of the storage and mechanicals were designed to be above the foundation level. A home warranty is included with the home, which expires on 11/24.
