This delightful 4BR/3 1/2BA home is perfect in every way, whether you are seeking a fulltime Big Canoe residence, or a wonderful mountain getaway to make lasting memories for family and friends. Located in the popular Equestrian Neighborhood of Big Canoe, this home is located less than five minutes from the main entrance gate, and it is no more than five minutes from all of the community amenities and activities. A circular driveway leads you to a shady porte-cochere overarching the front door. Upon entering, you will appreciate the large open-plan vaulted great room, accented by a lovely floor- to-ceiling stone fireplace framed with custom built-in shelving and lovely maple hardwood floors. Multiple windows brighten the room with sunlight, and invite a view of the wooded back yard. The great room is separated from a spacious upgraded kitchen with ample cupboards, stainless appliances and a long quartz-top bar that is perfect for entertaining. The dining area adjacent to the kitchen connects to a large cooking deck. A delightful screened room (that could be easily converted to an all- season room) invites hours of relaxing with the shady breeze and beauty of the lushly forested 1.48-acre lot, that leads to a small creek and a winter view of the mountains. Comfortable bedrooms with full baths and large closets are on either side of the great room. The laundry room and a half bath are handily located in a hallway off the master bathroom. The terrace level almost doubles the size of the home with a lovely family room featuring a trey ceiling and two large bedrooms or flex-rooms and a full bathroom. A bonus surprise is a kitchenette-- with cupboards, refrigerator, double sinks and a microwave--that is ideal for parties or stay-over guests. The shady lower deck is off the family room and runs the full length of the house. This quality-built HardiPlank siding home is in excellent condition, and the parttime owners for the past 17 years have spent only a few weeks a year here and have maintained it very well. It has never been rented. The kitchen has been upgraded, roof was replaced 4 years ago, gutters replaced 5 years ago, water heater is 2 years old and the house was painted inside and out in 2019. It is move-in ready for your idyllic new life in the gorgeous mountains of Big Canoe!
