Better than new modern farmhouse in the desirable Merriweather subdivision, situated on a private 1.20-acre wooded homesite. Offering 4-bedrooms, 3.5-baths, and 3,854 square feet, this home stands apart from typical new construction with extensive trim work, plantation shutters, upgraded finishes, and thoughtful improvements already completed for you. The kitchen is a true centerpiece of the home, featuring an oversized quartz island with contrasting dark cabinetry, upgraded brushed gold hardware, and ample seating. Crisp white perimeter cabinets extend to the ceiling and are complemented by under-cabinet lighting, a designer tile backsplash, and a striking black vent hood that creates a bold focal point. Stainless steel appliances include a gas cooktop, wall oven, built-in microwave, and dishwasher. Additional highlights include a spacious walk-in pantry with custom shelving and a well-appointed butler’s area with floating wood shelves, added cabinetry, and beverage refrigerator space–offering both style and exceptional storage. The breakfast area is surrounded by windows and finished with board-and-batten detailing. The family room offers an inviting and well-designed gathering space highlighted by stained ceiling beams, crown molding, and a modern geometric chandelier. A stone-surround gas fireplace with a substantial floating mantel serves as the focal point, flanked by custom built-in cabinetry and accented by plantation shutters. The open layout flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area, creating an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining. Sliding glass doors lead directly to the screened porch, overlooking the fenced backyard and a recently installed custom stone retaining wall with integrated lighting. This post-construction improvement adds both function and visual appeal. The backyard provides ample space to accommodate a future swimming pool, made possible by the septic system being located at the very back of the lot, beyond the fence. The owner’s suite offers a spacious retreat highlighted by a tray ceiling with crown molding, detailed wall trim, and abundant natural light from multiple windows with plantation shutters. The room easily accommodates larger furnishings while maintaining an open, airy feel. The spa-inspired bath features an extended dual-sink vanity with quartz countertops, framed mirrors, upgraded lighting, and matte black fixtures. A freestanding soaking tub sits beneath a decorative chandelier, while the separate glass-enclosed shower includes tile surround and built-in niches. The walk-in closet is thoughtfully designed with custom shelving, dual hanging areas, built-in storage, and a center bench, providing both organization and functionality. The second floor offers an incredibly functional and flexible layout featuring three spacious secondary bedrooms, all with generous closet space and easy access to two well-appointed full baths, including one with dual sinks. A large recreation room provides the perfect space for a media room, playroom, or additional gathering area. The expansive bonus room–currently utilized as a primary-style retreat–offers endless possibilities for a private guest suite, teen suite, home office, or fitness space. Completing the upper level is an impressive walk-up storage area, offering outstanding storage capacity and future expansion potential.
