If AI was asked to create an image of the perfect 3 bedroom / 2 bath home on a beautiful, all-cleared near one acre lot in SWLA with touches of yesteryear, charm and character not found today, well...THIS WOULD BE THAT IMAGE! This meticulous, two-year old home is the epitome of class and timelessness, where touches of the past are entwined with modern day amenities of the present. With nearly 1550 square feet of heated/cooled space, a split floorplan, high-end finishes and fixtures, custom wainscoting and splashes of wallpapered walls here and there, the home exudes quality craftsmanship and meticulous planning. The warm welcome of the front entry is finished with irrigated, lush landscaping, the start of a trellised Peggy Martin on the garage wall and functional hurricane shutters. Beyond the front door, a sanctuary of a space is found with engineered European Oak hardwood flooring throughout, all of which was thoughtfully laid to create spaces of its own. The focal point of the common areas and central to the home is the elegant, electric fireplace with a brick surround, crowned by an irreplaceable, most extraordinary relic: an 1800's Pennsylvanian reclaimed barn mantle - heavy with history, beautiful in grain and reverent in presence. This singular, architectural gesture commands attention and draws the eye upward. An abundance of natural lighting with the many top-down/bottom-up luxury, custom window treatments assists in spotlighting the custom wall treatments while the recessed fixtures helps to retain a most clean, sleek look. Completed with a foam-insulated attic, a conveniently located hook-up for a Generac generator, a fully fenced-in backyard and a fire-pit patio - no expense was spared creating this comfortable, cozy and picturesque product. But wait, there's so much more. The screened-in patio permits outdoor activities to be enjoyed free of those unfriendly, flying pests that love the heat and humidity of the region. The very soul of this beautiful package speaks its own language of refinement and elegance and this precious residence can truly be considered a monument to tradition and taste. Top-notch, quality construction, maintenance and care with perfect cosmetics best describes this property and neither words nor pictures can simply do it any justice.
