Embrace the southern lifestyle, its benefits and all its charm from every corner of this home and neighborhood. You and your guests are immediately welcomed onto a gated wrap around front porch perfect for coffee in the morning and sunsets in the evening. Use the side patio as a ''secret garden'' and host gatherings on the custom built stone patio which includes a 9 ft gas fireplace as its focal point. Directly across from the home sits the tennis/pickle ball and volleyball courts, swimming pool, pond and one of two playgrounds. Whether you're craving brunch on the weekend, date night at a fine dining Italian spot, gourmet burgers, Mexican cuisine or take out pizza on any given day, it's all walking distance from your front porch. Inside this 3500+ sq. ft. 5BR 3BA home the main living areas open up into each other while still having their own defined spaces. The spacious primary suite on the main level features two closets, walk in shower, soaking tub as well as private access to the back stone patio. With the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms on the main floor there is flexibility to use either as an office, nursery or guest suite. The 4th and 5th bedrooms upstairs are exceptionally large with equally impressive closets. The bonus/loft area is multifunctional but particularly lends itself well as a secondary family room/playroom with eating area across from the built in cabinets and sink. The hallway closet and unfinished walk in storage room will quickly become space you can't live without again.
