Tucked away in the desirable Forest Ridge community, this home sits on an oversized lot with no HOA dues, offering the freedom and space you have been searching for. Picture yourself on the front porch that stretches the entire length of the home, coffee in hand, taking in the calm and peace that surrounds you. This is the kind of home where memories are made, and it is ready for yours. Step inside and feel the warmth of the two story foyer with an open staircase that sets the tone for the whole home. To your right, the living room invites you to relax by the stacked stone gas fireplace. The floorplan offers clearly defined spaces while still flowing openly, so there is always room to gather. The kitchen, with granite counters, tile backsplash and a stainless appliance package, makes cooking a joy and the walk in pantry keeps everything organized. Pull up a stool at the breakfast bar and stay connected to the dining area while you prep dinner and catch up on the day. Enjoy the ease and convenience of the main level primary suite, spacious and featuring a tray ceiling and recessed lighting, along with a generous walk in closet. The ensuite bath offers a jacuzzi tub and a separate tiled shower. Rounding out the main level is a half bath and laundry room that connects to the side entrance. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a full bath offer plenty of room to spread out. Multiple walk in attics provide the kind of storage you did not think was possible. Outside, the possibilities keep going. An oversized two car garage connects to the home through a covered breezeway and includes a full floor of storage accessed by pull down stairs. A one car carport offers flexible space for boat storage, extra parking or a shaded spot for bikes, games or hobbies. And then there is the yard...flat, spacious and made for entertaining, with sheds providing even more storage for all of life's extras. All of this sits just moments from grocery stores, dining and shopping near the Hwy 73 and Hwy 16 intersection, giving you the peaceful feel of home with everyday convenience close by. Recent updates bring additional peace of mind, including a new roof in 2017, HVAC in 2022 and water heater elements replaced in 2023. A transferable termite bond adds one more layer of protection for the next owner. This is more than a house. It is the space to begin your next chapter!!
