Wow! This elevated home in the popular Essex at Carolina Bay is extremely nice. Sitting on one of the best lots available, the common space next door and even the wooded view from two sides of the house provide an element of space that's hard to find. The garage itself is phenomenal. It features a great workspace, more than enough room for your hobbies like woodworking, train enthusiasts and, of course, room for multiple cars. If you look closely, you'll see the built-in pest spraying system. (This is a great feature, as your quarterly pest sprays are all handled from the yard, so there is no need for the bug man to enter your home, and spray your nice furniture.) There are also two large piazzas on the front of the house. As you enter from the front porch, you are welcomed by an inviting foyer leading into an open family room that is flooded with light from all angles complete with fireplace, high ceilings, ceiling mounted speakers and hardwood floors throughout the majority of the downstairs. To the right is a nice TV room that is wired for surround sound that could also double as a quiet and comfortable home office. Moving through this Charleston-single style home, you will make your way into the dining room, and then off into the kitchen featuring solid surface counters, maple cabinets, a newly added kitchen island (with wine fridge and built-in recycling bins) and stainless steel appliances. It also has a sunny breakfast area on the back of the house that leads to a screened-in porch. The master bedroom is gorgeous, and features a wonderful master bath with garden tub, dual sinks, a water closet, and a separate shower. The landing as you enter the upstairs is phenomenal. This gallery type space is the perfect place for a second office, hobby area, and most importantly, it just welcomes you with a nicely proportioned look and feel, and truly lets you appreciate the feeling of space. You can also access the top porch and enjoy sweeping views of the neighborhood. There are also nicely proportioned bedrooms upstairs, and two additional bathrooms. The yard is nicely landscaped, and features a wonderful grilling area. This home is in great condition, and the last home like this sold very quickly as the neighborhood is very sought after being so close to hospitals, great shopping, and I-526. If you appreciate quality and convenience, this should certainly be on the top of your list.
