Conveniently located in the coveted Brightleaf subdivision, this 4 year *young* home is better than new construction. Curb appeal abounds with a welcoming front porch, landscaped yard & lovely elevation with stone veneer & shake accents. The foyer is spacious & inviting with details like wainscoting. To the right you find the guest or in-law suite. Continue into the home & it opens up to the kitchen, dining area & family room. This space will be enjoyed on a daily basis & when entertaining--no one will be left out of the fun! Cook gourmet meals in the expansive kitchen where you'll find stainless appliances, upgraded cabinetry with soft close drawers/doors & pull-out inserts, a timeless tile backsplash & beautiful quartz countertops. The amazing pantry with built-in shelving is steps away! The 2 story wall of windows above the dining area will be your daily view. This offers beauty & natural light. In warmer months, enjoy the screened in porch, deck & well-sized backyard. When it's time to retire for the day, the primary suite is on the first floor--you won't have far to travel! The bedroom is lovely & spacious with a tray ceiling & designer light/fan that casts a romantic glow onto the walls. The bathroom is magazine worthy with a HUGE walk-in tile shower, double vanity, separate water closet & extra spacious walk-in closet. You will not want to leave this spa-like space!
