It is the first time the driveway is yours. The first time you pull into the garage and realize you are not coming home to an apartment, a landlord, or someone else's space. It is your front door, your kitchen, your backyard, and your place to start building the life you have been working toward. Tucked at the end of a quiet lane and set on approximately 0.81 acres, this 2022-built home gives you something that can be increasingly difficult to find: a newer home with room around it, a wooded backdrop, and a floor plan designed for everyday living. Step inside and the main level immediately feels open, bright, and uncomplicated. Wood-look laminate flooring stretches through the living, dining, and kitchen areas, tying the entire space together. The kitchen may quickly become one of your favorite parts of the house. Crisp white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances give you the clean, updated look today's buyers want. The generous center island provides additional workspace, a double-basin sink, and an overhang ready for bar stools. It is easy to picture everyday life here—breakfast before work, pizza spread across the island on Friday night, friends talking while dinner cooks, or your laptop open with a cup of coffee while you plan the weekend. Just beyond the kitchen is space for your dining table, with the sliding glass doors pulling your attention toward the outdoors. Instead of looking directly into a wall of buildings or a crowded parking lot, you have a backyard bordered by mature trees. Upstairs, the home shifts from gathering space to your own private retreat. The primary bedroom gives you the blank canvas every new homeowner wants. Bring the king or queen bed, choose your colors, hang your photographs, and make the room completely yours. The windows bring in natural light while the wooded setting outside helps create a peaceful place to begin and end the day. The adjoining primary bath offers an extended granite-topped vanity, dedicated storage, and a separate water closet, while the walk-in closet provides the kind of storage space that can be hard to find in a starter home. Two additional bedrooms give this home the flexibility to grow right along with you. Need a guest room today and a nursery later? Done. Work from home? Create an office, or need simply a bedroom waiting for family and friends? You have options. A second full bathroom serves these bedrooms, giving the upstairs a practical layout for both everyday living and overnight guests. And then there is one of those features you may not appreciate until you have lived without it: the laundry room is upstairs with the bedrooms. Outside, the one-car attached garage and wide concrete driveway provide additional convenience, while the rear deck and wooded surroundings give you an outdoor extension of the living space. The location helps complete the picture. You're within convenient reach of I-77, Statesville, and Mooresville, making commuting, shopping, restaurants, and everyday errands accessible while still coming home to a neighborhood setting. And when the weekend arrives, Lake Norman State Park puts hiking, biking, boating, fishing, and days near the water within easy reach.
