The smallest home in a gated community might just be the smartest move you'll ever make. Designed for comfort, simplicity, and long-term enjoyment, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath custom home offers a rare one-level layout. Surrounded by larger custom homes and nestled against a private treeline, it’s an exceptional opportunity for buyers looking to right-size without sacrificing quality or location. This home is a thoughtful throwback in the best possible way—with a layout that prioritizes livability over trends. A warm and inviting keeping room with a vaulted ceiling and built-in bookcases offers a casual gathering space just off the kitchen, perfect for relaxed conversations or quiet mornings. The formal dining room and generous living area provide additional room to entertain, host, or simply enjoy everyday life. Storage is abundant, with walk-in closets in every bedroom, a well-appointed laundry room with extra cabinetry, and a practical drop zone off the garage. The split-bedroom floor plan provides separation and privacy. The vaulted-ceiling primary suite—with serene views of the backyard—includes a spa-toned bath and spacious walk-in closet. Two secondary bedrooms share a private hallway and full bath, while a fourth bedroom is tucked away on the opposite side of the home and features its own en suite bath with accessible shower—perfect for guests, multi-generational living, or a home office. A large upstairs bonus room with a half bath adds versatility for work or play. Natural light fills the home through oversized windows and three sets of sliding doors—in the keeping room, living room, and primary suite—all offering peaceful treelined views. Step out to the 44-foot-long back porch and a patio, where a fireplace sets the stage for quiet mornings, relaxed evenings, and wildlife sightings. Located in the sought-after Alvaton, Drakes Creek, and Greenwood school districts—and just minutes from shopping, dining, I-65, and medical services—this home blends refined, never-trendy design, practical comfort, and lasting value in a gated setting that feels both private and connected.
