An absolute cut above. Nestled on a coveted corner lot in the heart of Forest Ridge, this home offers generous spaces for everyone including five bedrooms, four baths, and a generous loft. Delivering on every front: space, style, serenity, and just enough surprises to make it unforgettable. Built in 2017 and thoughtfully upgraded in 2021 and 2022, it offers a lifestyle that feels like a true step above the ordinary. Let's start with the kitchen, because that's where everyone ends up anyway. Outfitted with professional appliances, a five-burner gas range, quartz countertops, and a tile backsplash that practically begs for a photo op, it's ready for gourmet delights and casual meals alike. The main-level guest bedroom is currently used as an office, making this home ideal for remote workers or learners, and is next to a full bath, which means no one has to share and everyone can pretend they're in a boutique hotel. Upstairs you'll find an open loft for all types of play, three more guest bedrooms and two more baths (one being ensuite) and a primary suite that is equal parts spacious retreat and everyday indulgence, complete with abundant natural light, a spa-worthy bath, and a closet that might just spark a shopping spree. Tucked behind is an unfinished bonus space perfect for a private office, meditation room, or that thing you've been saying you'll do ''one day.'' Out back, you'll find peaceful views of the neighborhood's Rock Park and a sprawling stretch of open common space, perfect for impromptu soccer matches, epic games of freeze tag, or a casual round of flag football, all the room to play, none of the mowing required. You're steps from the Riverwalk, Occoneechee Speedway, and Mountains to Sea trail systems, so your daily walk can turn into a nature escape at a moment's notice, or into a leisurely stroll to all of downtown Hillsborough's favorite shops and restaurants. There's a wraparound porch out front for sunset watching, a covered porch out back for your sunrise coffee or late day unwinding, and a go-ahead-and-host-the-neighborhood sized paver patio that elevates your outdoor living game, surrounded by stunning lush gardens. All set beneath a night sky so clear it feels like your own private planetarium, with the gentle chorus of backyard frogs providing the perfect soundtrack. And did we mention the corner-lot bonus? That means extra parking, a true Hillsborough unicorn. Inside, you'll enjoy voluminous 9 foot ceilings, refinished and new hardwoods throughout (except tiled bathrooms), a gas fireplace for cozy evenings, and a freshly painted interior that still has that ''just done'' glow. The garage even has an epoxy floor and a Genie opener, because of course it does. If you've been waiting for the perfect blend of polished design, peaceful surroundings, and practical upgrades (with a side of porch-swing daydreams), this is it. Welcome home.
