Tucked into the sought-after Kensington Subdivision in Flowood, this beautiful 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath split floor plan is ready to welcome its very first owners! With 2,132 square feet, the layout offers the perfect mix of togetherness and privacy, anchored by a living room that flows effortlessly into the kitchen and a dining area that's just as open and inviting. Soaring ceilings and abundant natural light give the space an airy, welcoming feel, while a gas log fireplace flanked by custom built-ins adds instant charm. The kitchen brings both beauty and function, with quartz countertops, pantry, and cabinetry galore! Stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and built-in microwave, complete the space and make it as practical as it is pretty. Retreat to the primary suite, where a tray ceiling sets an elevated tone and a spa-like bathroom awaits, featuring a rain shower and a soaking tub that feels like a getaway of its own. The primary closet connects directly to a generously sized laundry room, because convenience matters! And don't miss the drop zone mudroom, ready to keep everyday life organized. The secondary bedrooms share a bath complete with dual vanities and an additional storage closet, giving everyone their own space without sacrificing convenience. Step outside to the DEEP covered back porch wired with TV hookups, perfect for slow evenings at home. This porch is so deep you can hang a bed swing for added relaxation! Rounding things out are a tankless water heater, low-maintenance soffits and fascia, a two-car garage, and storage tucked in all the right places. Kensington itself is a gated community offering a stocked lake, swimming pool, and clubhouse, just minutes from the Ross Barnett Reservoir and the shops and restaurants at Dogwood Festival Market. Plus, you're zoned for the desirable Northwest Rankin School District! Directions: This home is located in the newest phase of Kensington. Use the gated entrance off Marshall Road, then continue straight on Palace Crossing to reach the new phase at the back of the neighborhood. While construction is ongoing, the back gate (accessible from Hwy 471) will be open only on select days and hours. Schedule your private tour and see what makes this one so special!
