There are just so many great extras in store for you if you make this beautiful Charleston-style home your own! Enjoy all the perks of living in Lake Carolina...a sidewalk community featuring a lake, tennis courts, a pool, a park, a clubhouse, and walking trails. There are community events to join, and the convenience of shopping, dining, and medical care, all nearby. Take a stroll through Lake Carolina's Town Center and linger a while for a coffee with friends. Plus, you'll have plenty of time to spare, since Lake Carolina maintains your landscaping right down to mulching and watering during the warm seasons. However, enough of the "living is easy" speech. Let's talk about this particular home! Double porches wrap around two sides of this gorgeous house...your perfect perch to look out across a sprawling park. Stand back and notice that the tall windows balance the architectural style perfectly. As you enter, you will see high ceilings, easy-care floors and carpeting, and a great room with custom cabinetry, gas logs, and plenty of molding. This room and the front entrance roll right into the eating area and kitchen, which makes it great for entertaining family and friends. You'll appreciate the painted cabinetry, solid surface countertops, separate cupboard, and a counter for bar stools. Yes, the kids can keep you company while you prepare dinner. There's one bedroom downstairs, which is perfect for overnight guests or an elderly parent. (It is currently being used as a dining room. See pictures.) Upstairs, you'll find two more bedrooms and a huge master suite with a generously-sized bathroom and, wow, the tricked-out closet! Custom shelving makes all the difference! Plus, there are double French doors to your own private porch! It's made for late-night conversations and the gift of a cool summer breeze upstairs at night next summer. One last feature I simply must brag on...the washer/dryer is upstairs! No hauling laundry baskets up and down! Come see this beauty and imagine life in one of the nicest communities in Columbia!
