With two brand-new HVAC units serving both the upstairs and downstairs, plus a roof replaced in 2018, this Taberna home pairs important updates with a spacious, functional floor plan designed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining. A sought-after main-level primary suite is just one of the highlights. The first floor also offers a formal dining room, dedicated office or flex space, laundry room, and a spacious kitchen with a butler's pantry. The inviting living room features cathedral ceilings, a stone fireplace, and custom built-ins, while beautiful hardwood floors add warmth throughout the main living areas. Outside the back door, you will be greeted with a screened porch that opens to a large deck, creating an easy extension of the living space for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. The tree lined backyard offers an additional level of peaceful living. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and a large bonus room over the generous 2.5-car garage, providing plenty of flexibility for guests, hobbies, recreation, or a home theater. Located in the desirable Taberna community and within the Creekside Elementary school district, the neighborhood offers sidewalks and nature trails, with golf, tennis, and a community pool available through membership at the neighborhood country club. With major updates already completed, a downstairs primary suite, flexible living spaces, and access to some of Taberna's most enjoyed amenities, this home offers plenty of reasons to take a closer look!

R-8
Residential District
The R-8 residential district is designed to accommodate single-, two-, and multifamily dwellings with a minimum 8000 square feet lot for one unit and 4000 square feet for each additional unit; multifamily density maximum is approximately 10.6 units per acre (based on a five-acre tract). For the R-8 residential district, in promoting the general purposes of this ordinance, the specific intent of this district is: (a) To encourage the continued use of the land for residential purposes; (b) To prohibit commercial and industrial use of the land and to prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with development or continuation of residential uses in the district.; (c) To encourage the discontinuance of existing uses that would not be permitted as new uses in this district.; (d )To discourage any use which would generate traffic on minor streets other than normal traffic to serve residences on those streets.; and (e) To discourage any use which because of its character or size would create requirements and costs for public services such as police and fire protection, water supply and sewerage, substantially in excess of such requirements and costs if the district were developed solely for residential purposes.
