This mid-century modern house is a custom home designed by Richard Chalfonte with many updates completed by the current owner. The circular drive provides plenty of room when friends come over to visit your home built for entertaining. The open foyer gives way to the large formal living room with stone wall and wood burning fireplace. Notice the newer Brazilian cherry floors that flow through out the main level and the large windows that give endless views to the 2 acre lot. The living room opens to the dining room with corner windows that let the sun flood into this large dining space. Next is the updated kitchen with refinished cabinets, marble counters, Bosch stainless steel double ovens and warming drawer. The kitchen is open to the informal dining area with sliding doors to the back balcony and stairs, both recently re-done with TREX. The kitchen is also open to the family room with another wood burning stone fireplace. Go up a half level to a luxurious updated master retreat with spa like Carrera marble bathroom; which includes an oversized shower, large jetted tub, custom cabinetry and dual sinks. The master suite also has a generous sized walk in closet. Down the hall are two more bedrooms and an updated hall bath. Also on this level is a room that was created to act as a small study but has also been plumbed to become a convenient upstairs laundry room if the new owner wishes. The lower level has a large game room with beautiful stone wall, a third wood burning fireplace and newer slate flooring. There is also a large sliding door to the back patio and yard. There is also a bedroom which has its own sliding door and walk in closet, that has been plumbed to become a full bath as desired! The laundry room is currently on this level, as is a store room that could easily be used as a wine seller. On the garage level you will find another generous sized bedroom and updated full bath with marble shower and floating sink vanity. The oversized 2-car garage has an extra garage door entrance that offers the opportunity to be used as a cabana for the near-by pool, or storage for yard tools and toys! The 2 acre lot provides plenty of area for sports or gardens as well as an in-ground pool. All of this space, along with a convenient location ? a quick walk or drive to Greenville shopping and within minutes of the City and easy access to commuter routes - what more could you need?
