As soon as you enter this beautiful home, you know it's special. The owners were the second people to purchase in the desirable Glenlake South development and chose the end townhome with an empty lot next door, quietly nestled at the back of the community and overlooking the lake. They were able to work with builder Henry MacNair of Premier Homes to customize their new home. You can feel the quality and workmanship throughout. As you enter, a nice sized room with a bay window is to your right, perfect for a den, office, breakfast, or dining room. This opens to the kitchen that has granite counter tops, beautiful high-end wood cabinets, a gas stove, and stainless appliances. Roll out windows at the sink overlook the manicured, grassy empty lot. In the expansive great room, daylight pours in through 2 oversized windows, and ceiling beams add character and warmth. Acclaimed North Carolina artist Michael Joerling was commissioned to build the buffet and shelving in the great room and bookcase in the front room. A screened deck offers the perfect spot for relaxation and has two ceiling fans and heaters to keep you comfortable. The large, primary bedroom overlooks the landscaped backyard and lake. A hallway leads to two well designed closets, a double sink bathroom, and a toilet/shower room. Two built-in safes protect valuables. The laundry room and a half bath are also on the main floor. Downstairs offers a large bonus room -- complete with wet bar, fridge and wine cooler -- that opens to a patio and the landscaped backyard. Enjoy the sound of the fountain while admiring the iris, ferns, butterfly bush, magnolia, and camellias. A raised bed is ready for herbs, veggies or cutting flowers. The yard is equipped with an irrigation system. In addition to two bedrooms and a bath, there are two flex rooms. One is perfect for an office or exercise room and the other for a workshop/garden room. Another conditioned room offers plenty of storage. Of note, this home has 10'' ceilings on both floors, Toto toilets, a Rinnai tankless water heater with recirculation pump, and most lighting is Lutron. Enjoy hassle-free living at it's best in a neighborhood that is convenient to restaurants, shopping, parks and greenways!
