Some homes are built to check boxes. This one was built to make a statement. Set among the trees in Carolina Colours, this exceptional custom residence blends timeless architecture, thoughtful design, and a level of craftsmanship that is increasingly difficult to find. Striking black Marvin windows, warm copper accents, extensive millwork, engineered hardwood flooring, and carefully selected finishes create a home that feels refined without sacrificing comfort. The beautifully designed floor plan offers remarkable flexibility, including a private first-floor secondary suite with its own walk-in shower, providing a distinct and versatile living space separate from the home's primary suite. The spacious first-floor primary retreat delivers a true sense of escape with generous closets and a beautifully appointed bath. The kitchen and main living areas were designed to flow effortlessly together, while the screened porch extends the living space outdoors and frames views of the surrounding wooded landscape. Outside, the property is every bit as impressive. A beautifully landscaped lawn transitions into a wooded backyard enclosed by black aluminum fencing, creating an uncommon combination of usable outdoor space, privacy, and natural surroundings. Two attached two-car garages provide four enclosed parking spaces, along with exceptional storage, while the expansive driveway is wide enough to accommodate three vehicles parked side by side with additional room for parking. A whole-house natural gas generator adds another layer of convenience, and the home's setting near the end of the street enhances its connection to the surrounding landscape. From the dramatic rooflines and covered front entry to the screened porch, wooded backdrop, generous homesite, and remarkable garage capacity, this custom Carolina Colours residence was thoughtfully designed to stand apart. Buyer Incentive: Eligible buyers may receive a lender credit of up to $3,000 with the use of preferred lender and closing attorney. Credit is subject to lender terms and buyer qualification.
