Brand new carpeting, installed after sellers moved out is ready for the new owners! It doesn't get much better than this! Experience timeless character, charm and modern convenience in the sought-after South Lakes community in Fuquay-Varina! This exquisite, former model, Craftsman home, built by custom home builder Preservation Homes, is a testament to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Nestled on a corner lot surrounded by mature landscaping and a custom designed aluminum fence with river rock columns, this home offers the best of both worlds. From the moment you step onto the expansive wrap-around front porch and enter through the custom made, Craftsman front door, you'll be taken back to a bygone era. Inside, genuine hardwood floors grace the first-floor living area, while crown moulding and built-ins throughout add sophistication. The heart of this open floor plan is the well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, ample cabinet space, and a breakfast bar for casual gatherings. Adjacent, the cozy family room features a gas log fireplace—a perfect gathering spot. The formal dining room can be enjoyed for family meals or could easily be transformed into a home office or additional living space. Upstairs, the spacious owner's suite awaits, complete with a luxurious ensuite bath with a ceramic tile shower, soaking tub and thoughtfully designed walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, while a bonus room with a built-in desk and window seat offers versatility as a fourth bedroom, home office or additional living space. Outside, the serene back patio with a pergola is ideal for outdoor entertaining. Living in South Lakes means an unparalleled lifestyle with community amenities like two pools, a playground, kayak launch, fishing pier, and picnic shelter. The Town of Fuquay-Varina Greenway connects you to local schools, parks and Clubworx Fitness Center. Plus, an active social committee hosts events year-round, fostering a strong sense of community. Conveniently located near parks, schools, and amenities, this Craftsman retreat combines timeless character, comfort and convenience. Don't miss your chance to experience active living in this sought-after community. The roof was replaced in 2018, and there's a financing incentive with the preferred lender, John Wilkerson of Movement Mortgage. Sellers are offering a 1-year home warranty with an accepted offer.
