Been looking for a home, on a corner lot, with an outdoor living area including fabulous pool with hot tub? Your search stops here! The outdoor area is only the beginning of all the amenities in this home. The warm, inviting curb appeal, with the 10ft beautiful wooden front door draws you in to begin exploring this amazing home that was built as a builders personal home. Your first view as you enter the formal living room is the wall of windows showing the lovely back yard living area - complete with salt-water pool (including a hot tub, waterfall, tanning ledge, underwater table sitting area, LED rotating light system), outdoor fireplace and a covered patio for grilling and chilling.Moving toward the kitchen from the living room you notice the dining room which boasts another huge window and features a coffered ceiling. Meander through the butlers pantry/bar area with wine cooler and into the kitchen WOW-simply amazing. From exposed beams (also in living room,) brick flooring, huge 7 ý ft island with a prep sink, abundance of custom cabinets with slab granite countertops, top of the line stainless steel appliances and large walk-in pantry to the sitting area off the kitchen complete with a fireplace-and another view of the pool area-what else would you need for the perfect party setting and everyday family living? The owners suite is on the opposite side of the house with, yep-another wall of windows with a view of the backyard sanctuary. Walking from the bedroom to the bathroom with tub, separate shower, and two vanities plus a sitting area you land in a massive owners closet with more built ins and hanging space than you can ever imagine needing. Very impressive. A guest bedroom adjacent to a full bath, very large laundry room, and ý bath complete the first floor. Two spacious bedrooms (massive by todays standards of guest bedrooms!), one with an en-suite bathroom, another full bathroom, and a bonus room including 2 built in desks and a balcony overlooking the neighborhood complete the second floor. Oh, not quite the climate controlled attic room off the bonus room can store all your seasonal decorations and anything else you want to get out of site. Phew, lots to cover to experience this home. But we arent done yet. The garage has much to show. It is 36x24 feet, 3 bays with the third bay extending another 8 feet. And to complete this area is a spacious storage room (22 x 8 feet) leading to the patio. The entire garage floor has an epoxy paint coating. Other features to notice: flooring includes long leaf pine, brick with the only carpet being in the upstairs, irrigation system for entire yard, sound system for all living areas, patio and around pool, large generator adequate for most of the house, 12 foot ceilings downstairs, 10 feet up, plantation shutters in kitchen area and ý bath, functional exterior shutters. Sellers to include plans for more living space above the garage. Get ready to make this home yours!
