You won't believe this one-owner home has been lived in! This immaculate, one-level home has a comfortable cottage fee to it. The inviting front of the house features a covered front porch. There are reliable perennials including vinca, calla lilies, cleome, and a lavender bush. A small window with a plantation shutter, which matches the plantation shutters throughout the house, and a matching window box, add to the delightful cottage look. Upon entering this home, there is an inviting, well-defined foyer with a coat closet. There are warm wood floors in all rooms except two bedrooms, high ceilings, and most all windows with custom-made plantation shutters that enhance the natural light and lovely bucolic views, particularly from the back of the house. The living room has a natural gas-log fireplace and an entire wall of windows overlooking the secluded back yard with mature azaleas on the back of the home. The well-planned landscaping features a redbud tree, a sasanqua camellia, and large, fragrant gardenia bushes on the back and on both sides of the house. From the living room, which features much natural light, there is a glass door that opens to the enclosed porch with brick flooring and window dressing making it appear to be another full-sized room. A back door has been added to the rear of the house, with new gutters to protect the new back-door landing. The custom-designed kitchen features a gas cooktop, wall oven and microwave; and plenty of upgraded cabinetry, all with pull-out shelving and soft-close drawers. The counter tops are granite, as is an island with more counter space for bar-stool dining and more cabinet space under the island. The adjoining dining room is quite spacious with room for a full-sized dining table and seating; plus, there is space for an additional sitting area, making this entre space a large, open family room. At one end of the house is the private primary bedroom suite with a large walk-in closet. The primary bath has tile flooring, an oversized shower, and a double-sink vanity with granite counters, and a mirror covering the entire width of this wall. The tile in the primary shower and around the commode have recently been regrouted and sealed. At the other side of the house there are two additional bedrooms and a full-tie bath, tub and shower, and features a solar tube skylight. One bedroom has a large walk-in closet. The other bedroom has French door that open to the enclosed porch. The enclosed porch has windows and window-dressing so that it could be used year-round. The laundry room has a utility sink and leads to the spacious, front-load, two-car garage. This home was built Energy Star Certified and the utility bills are demonstrably inexpensive. It qualifies for a monthly discount from Duke Energy. This one-level home has an energy-efficient floor plan that cannot be improved upon.
