Property Description
But what makes this home so hard to ignore is not just that it's available—it's how beautifully it lives. Tucked on a quieter side street off the main subdivision drag, this is the kind of place where kids ride bikes, play in the cul-de-sac, and neighbors know each other. It backs to common ground, and the side yard has even more adjoining common ground—perfect for soccer, pitching, tag or football.
The front porch faces a charming lake with a fountain that glows in changing colors at night, and mornings here come with sunrise views, neighbors out walking, dogs on leashes, and that unmistakable feeling that life is just a little sweeter in this neighborhood. One of the front upstairs bedrooms enjoys that same lake view, and the current dining room—now used as an office—gets it too, making workdays a whole lot prettier.
Inside, the home feels thoughtful in all the right ways. The main-floor primary suite is a retreat with a luxury bath featuring double sinks, an oversized shower, and a private toilet room with a door—one of those details that matters more than people admit. The huge walk-in closet connects by pocket door directly to the laundry room. Upstairs, you've got 3 bdrms, a bonus room, and a desk nook, so there's room for kids, guests, homework, toys, gaming, studying, or whatever your family needs next year and 5 years from now. One bedroom has private bath; the other two share a second full bath.
The heart of the home is the kitchen and family room, and this one absolutely delivers. The kitchen was custom-designed beyond the builder's original plan to give you more counter space, more drawers, and better everyday function. The island breakfast bar is where the action happens—morning cereal, homework, snacks after school, late-night conversation, holiday baking, all of it. And in the winter, beautiful southern light pours into the breakfast room and family room, making the whole space glow. The family room itself has an impressive 11-foot ceiling and a seriously upgraded fireplace with IntelliFire technology that controls the lighting, thermostat, realistic flame display, timer, and more. It's not just a fireplace—it's a centerpiece.
And when everyone wants their own space, the finished lower level is a game changer, adding more than 700 SF with an egress window and rough-in for a full bath. It's the perfect place for a playroom, movie nights, teen hangout, home gym, second family room, or all the overflow that comes with busy family life.
The outdoor space is every bit as inviting. Seller added extensive backyard landscaping, flagstone steps & stamped concrete, and heat-resistant roll-down shades on the porch, creating a backyard that feels welcoming and ready to enjoy from day one. Out back, the sunsets are spectacular.
Tower Tee is practically a chip shot away, with driving range and golf close enough to enjoy—and the fireworks displays on July 4 and New Year's Eve are a neighborhood fav. If you like to walk, this neighborhood is a dream. You can get in a challenging two-mile walk without repeating yourself, with hills, beautiful homes, sidewalks, streetlights, and trails tucked behind some of the homes. The adjoining Resurrection Cemetery adds even more scenery and interest. There's a newly formed book club and monthly game night, giving the neighborhood a real sense of community.
This is not just another house in a subdivision. This is the one families hope will hit the market—and regret when it's gone. It has the setting, the warmth, the space, the upgrades, the neighborhood life, and the kind of everyday ease that is hard to create and even harder to find already done for you.
