Check out this amazing home near Catawba Country Club that represents a rare partnership of timeless design and quality construction, This home was inspired by the classic aesthetic of Southern Living homes and was designed by a renowned local architect. The exterior makes a striking first impression with grey-painted hardy cypress siding, crisp white trim, and a grand rocking chair front porch featuring distinctive columns and a custom-milled front door. The interior is defined by an airy elegance, boasting 10-foot ceilings on the main level and a seamless flow tailored for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the solid oak hardwood floors that span the main and upper levels to the generous baseboards, crown moldings, and custom cabinetry. The home's character is further enhanced by four gas fireplaces, including two featuring antique mantels circa 1900 with updated tile surrounds, and two additional new custom mantels featuring elegant Carrara marble. Refined architectural details such as transom windows, French doors, and pocket doors add a layer of sophistication often lost in modern construction. A comprehensive remodel in 2016/2017 brought modern luxury to every corner of the home. The chef's kitchen was fully reimagined with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, a porcelain apron-front sink, and a high-end stainless appliance suite featuring a center island downdraft cooktop, double convection ovens, and an under-counter beverage fridge. The primary suite serves as a sanctuary, highlighted by a spa-like bathroom with dual quartz-topped vanities, a free-standing tub, tile wainscoting, and a rainfall shower with seamless glass and herringbone tile work. All secondary bathrooms are equally impressive with quartz or marble counters and designer tile. Outdoor living is elevated by the addition of high-quality composite decking on the front porch, the screened-in back porch, and the rear deck, ensuring a maintenance-free experience for years to come. The 1.13-acre cul-de-sac lot provides a serene, private backdrop while remaining convenient to Hickory, Newton, and Charlotte. Practicality is woven into the design, from the functional mudroom with ample storage to the partially finished basement featuring a mini-split HVAC added in 2022. Additional features of note include a multi-zone irrigation system, an electrical system pre-configured for a gas-powered generator, and dedicated gas hookups for both a grill and generator on the back deck. The sellers are also pleased to include the amplifier and speakers for the family room and back porch, as well as the sectional in the basement, making this home truly move-in ready.
