The first impression is beautiful. The closer look is even better. A stone-accented front porch, carriage-style doors on the three-car garage and arched double wood entry doors introduce this custom-built, one-owner Southern Craftsman home. Inside, meticulous care and craftsmanship show in the site-finished hardwood floors, 8-foot solid-core doors, substantial millwork, judge’s paneling and graceful arched openings. The foyer staircase makes an entrance of its own, with decorative iron balusters and flared lower steps. Just beyond, a multi-tiered tray ceiling brings drama to the formal dining room, with a butler’s pantry connecting it to the kitchen. At the heart of the home, an oversized granite island invites everyone to pull up a seat. A prep sink, farmhouse sink, gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances and extensive site-built cabinetry make the kitchen as functional as it is inviting. The bright breakfast area opens to a covered porch with a fireplace overlooking the wooded backyard. Inside, the great room pairs a coffered ceiling and built-ins with another gas-log fireplace. The main-level primary suite is a retreat, with a double-tray ceiling, custom walk-in closet and spa-like bath featuring a deep soaking tub and stone-floor shower with multiple showerheads, including a rain head. A large laundry room and drop zone keep daily life organized. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms with generous closets, two full baths, a living room and a bonus room/5th bedroom, there is plenty of space to spread out. The unfinished third level provides approximately 832 square feet of potential expansion space: imagine a cinema room, additional suite or a space entirely your own. Located in a Tom Fazio-designed golf course community with optional golf membership, the home is convenient to I-20, shopping, dining and area hospitals. Beautiful to see, easy to live in and full of details you’ll appreciate for years to come. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
