Inspired by timeless Southern design and surrounded by mature trees on 3.1 beautifully landscaped acres, this custom home offers a peaceful setting where quality craftsmanship and everyday comfort come together. From the circular drive with its welcoming fountain to the expansive wraparound porch and gently winding creek, every arrival feels like coming home. Built in 2010 and thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home offers more than 5,450 square feet with four bedrooms, five full baths, and a floor plan that gives everyone room to gather while still offering quiet places to retreat. Rich Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, detailed trim work, custom built-ins, and multiple fireplaces create a warm, inviting interior with the character of a classic Southern home. French doors throughout the main living areas invite natural light inside while creating an easy connection to the porches and surrounding landscape. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home with granite countertops, a large center island, abundant cabinetry, and an easy flow into the breakfast area, family room, and formal dining room, creating a natural gathering place. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a generous en suite bath and walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms, a sitting room, and a large bonus room provide exceptional flexibility for family, guests, hobbies, or a home office. The third floor expands the possibilities even further with a fourth bedroom, full bath, office, kitchenette, and additional storage--ideal for extended family, long-term guests, or multigenerational living. Outside, life naturally extends to the wraparound porch, which offers countless places to relax, visit with friends, or simply enjoy the gentle sound of the fountains. The covered back porch, complete with its own fireplace, expands your living space outdoors and creates the perfect setting for entertaining in every season. A fully wired, detached barn with water service offers additional space for hobbies, equipment, or storage, while the gently rolling grounds invite gardening, exploring the creek, evenings around the fire pit, or just enjoying the privacy. Behind the scenes, the home reflects thoughtful planning and lasting quality. Geothermal HVAC (which also services the water heaters), creek-fed fountains, fiber internet, a whole house fan, and engineered framing are just a few of the features that speak to the custom craftsmanship and care to provide long-term comfort and efficiency for this exceptional property. This beautiful private retreat is more than a custom home--it's a place where Southern hospitality comes naturally, where family gathers, where friends want to stay, and memories are made for years to come. New recorded survey (3.1 acres), utility, and additional property information attached. Buyer(s)/buyer(s) agent to verify all information.
