About This Home
Super cute home on a great lot in the conveniently located Quail Ridge subdivision, just across from Mystic Oaks Golf Course. Positioned directly across from the lake, this home offers peaceful summer evenings on the front porch with a front-row view of the water, fountain, and gazebo. The community pool provides a perfect place to relax with friends and family without the maintenance of having a pool in your own yard. Inside, the home features a formal foyer with wood flooring and a large dining room with a built-in buffet near the main entrance. A large picture window at the front of the home creates a beautiful space to showcase holiday decor. The living room includes a cozy gas fireplace with a brick surround, and paned sliding doors lead to a back patio accented with brick paver edging. The breakfast room sits just off the kitchen, which offers a batwing island/breakfast bar with seating, a double stainless sink, pantry, electric stove, and dishwasher. The home includes three bedrooms, including a well-appointed master suite with an attached bath with jetted tub, separate shower and double vanity, as well as a separate hall bathroom with a tub/shower combo. A laundry room is conveniently located off the two-car garage, and the nice, flat backyard provides plenty of usable space. An unfinished basement offers excellent potential for future expansion.
