Set back well off the road, this full brick country home offers you the best of all worlds. Country living and an elegant lifestyle. Morning coffee can be savored outside on the rocking chair front porch or under the pool cabana in front of the fireplace. If too cool to be outdoors, yet the Carolina blue skies are bright, as usual, you can still enjoy them from your tiled sunroom in front of the indoor gas fireplace.

You can always tell a high end builders home by all the extras the home offers. The arched doorways and windows with trim work, elegant crown molding, Travertine foyer floor, custom built-in lighted china hutch and numerous other upgrades.

The large eat-in kitchen has both a breakfast room and bar. While there are granite countertops, decorative tile backsplash and custom Maple cabinets with under counter and rope lighting, the kitchen is both beautiful and functional. A chef will enjoy preparing meals on the Jenn-air gas cook top & Jenn-air Convection oven. Other appliances include a Jenn-air warming drawer, Kitchenaid trash compactor, dishwasher and wine cooler. Store small appliances in one of the two pantries.

Read a good book in front of the master suite fireplace. Hardwood floors in the bedroom, tile floors in the bath & cedar floors in both of the walk-in closets. The custom mirrors accent the vanities & marble counter tops. Choose to relax in the Jacuzzi garden tub or the outdoor hot tub with some George Winston instrumentals from your indoor or outdoor speakers & music system. At the same time, someone else may enjoy a little rock-n-roll while playing a game of billiards in the second floor bonus/game room.

Utilize any of the four rooms with walk-in closets as your guest bedrooms or set up office(s) in any of these rooms. Whether you want to have guest bedrooms on the main floor or the second, the choice is yours, since there are two on each floor.

Such great indoor living spaces must be complimented with comparable outdoor amenities. Step outside to your own private resort. Guests can sit on and around the freestanding brick fireplace while famous North Carolina bar-b-q is being smoked in the built-in grill and side dishes are cleaned & prepared in the sink and on the granite countertops.
