Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Village of Hickory Ridge, this beautifully maintained contemporary home offers a seamless blend of comfort, style, and peaceful living. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone, inviting you into a space thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The main level opens to a bright, airy living room highlighted by soaring vaulted ceilings, a center fireplace, wall of new sliding doors, and an abundance of natural light. This inviting space flows seamlessly into the dining area, creating an open-concept layout ideal for both daily living and gatherings. Nearly new sliding glass doors open to a recently added walk-down Trex deck off the main level, less than a year old, leading to a patio and fully fenced backyard. With beautiful front and rear landscaping, blooming azalea bushes, and a private setting, the outdoor space is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring rich cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a soaring ceiling with skylights that fills the space with natural light. Its thoughtful layout makes it ideal for both daily living and hosting. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with new carpet and an updated ensuite bathroom. A full hall bathroom is accompanied by two additional generously sized bedrooms that offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. The lower level expands your living space with a large family and recreation room, another full bathroom, and a fourth bedroom. Walkout access provides even more connection to the backyard and outdoor living areas. Additional highlights include a two-car garage, a double-wide driveway, and mature tree-lined privacy. Fresh neutral paint and brand-new carpet throughout make this home truly move-in ready. Ideally located just moments from the Village Center and top-rated schools, this home offers the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. Whether you are enjoying a quiet morning coffee, hosting friends, or simply unwinding at the end of the day, every space is designed to feel like home. This is a rare opportunity to own a stylish and well-appointed home in one of Hickory Ridge’s most desirable neighborhoods.
