Enjoy private living without the constraints of an HOA in this custom-built 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in an established community of mostly newer homes. Step inside to a wide-open floor plan designed for comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. The spacious living room features a striking 72-inch ceiling fan and a cozy gas fireplace, flowing seamlessly into the expansive kitchen. Here you'll find a generous 10-foot island ideal for gathering and extra seating, all quartz countertops, soft-close custom cabinets and drawers built specifically for this home, a vented hood that exhausts outside over the gas cooktop, wall oven, wall convection microwave, and a large workstation sink. Personally selected finishes throughout create a polished, move-in-ready feel. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with tray ceilings, an expanded walk-in closet with wooden shelving, dual vanity, private water closet, tiled shower, and a standalone garden tub. A half bath with quartz countertop is conveniently placed in the main living area, while the large laundry room offers quartz counter space, soft-close cabinetry, and a sink. Ceiling fans in every bedroom and two on the inviting front porch add to the comfort. Additional highlights include an expanded two-car garage with extra-tall ceilings, upgraded garage door with windows and MyQ opener, a 950-square-foot unfinished basement with exterior access, expanded window package, and durable luxury vinyl plank (LifeProof) flooring throughout with tile in the bathrooms. Outside, enjoy board-and-batten vertical siding, black-framed windows, Casablanca upgraded brick foundation, TAMKO upgraded shingles, and an upgraded exterior light package with soffit lighting that beautifully illuminates the home at night. The large driveway includes a side concrete parking pad perfect for a boat or RV. The fully screened-in back covered deck features Trex flooring and a ceiling fan-ideal for year-round outdoor living. Conveniently located near downtown Lincolnton with easy access to Highway 321. County water and a 2/10 builder's warranty complete the package.
