Tucked among mature trees on over an acre, this home impresses from the moment you arrive. The craftsman-inspired exterior sets the tone for the 3,073 square feet of living space inside. The main level features a flex room perfect as a formal living room or office, a formal dining room with vaulted and beamed ceiling, and kitchen with center island, pantry, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. The family room stuns with soaring cathedral ceiling, exposed wood beams, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the wooded lot, and a commanding stone fireplace. The main-level primary suite offers a private balcony overlooking the treed backyard and a spa-like updated bath with dual vanities, marble countertops, and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and a bright secondary bath with skylight complete the upper level. The lower level delivers a sprawling rec room with wet bar, dedicated office with closet, en-suite bathroom, (septic is permitted for 3 bedrooms) slider to the outdoors, and abundant natural light. Ideal as a second living area, in-law suite, or entertainment hub. Out back, a charming creek winds along the rear of the property, creating a rare natural retreat. The unfinished workshop accessed from the backyard rounds out this one-of-a-kind property. Zoned for top-rated schools and minutes from I-485, Waverly, and all the dining and shopping Matthews has to offer and minutes to outdoor recreation at Colonel Francis J Beatty Park and Squirrel Lake Park. Rare acreage, top rated schools, incredible flexibility, and an unbeatable location - this one is truly special.
