Built in 1961

Like living on a resort next to Mount Hope Plantation, this grand home is set on 1.6 acres on Highland Road. The original home was built in 1961and the former owners added a large den with brick floors in 1987, master suite with huge closet and bath added in 1981, and free standing 743 sq ft workout room. Recently the home took on a major transformation. Current owners fenced the entire property, with beautiful wrought iron fencing surrounding the spacious front yard, adding trees for privacy and a lighted pickle ball court. The entire kitchen was remodeled and enlarged, adding all new cabinetry, top of line appliances including Wolf 6 burner stove, Subzero freezer and fridge, beverage fridge, ice maker, Bosch dishwasher, coffee bar and bar seating for 6. The area has a small keeping area with see-through fireplace into the den and opens to the spacious dining and formal living area. The master wing includes a small office with built-in desk and cabinets, an additional bedroom and full bath as well as the actual master bedroom and bath. The master bedroom is 26x18 and has an adjoining coffee bar leading into the bathroom. The bath has a large soaking tub, oversized shower with multiple jets, two vanity areas. The closet was made by Inspired Closets and is beyond fabulous! In addition to the large living and dining area, the 37x25 foot playroom is meant for fun! It has brick floors, a fireplace, and a full bar with a copper top. It is big enough to hold pool table, ping pong and pin ball as well as sofa area and a dining table.
