Carolina blue skies ahead. This custom Dixon Kirby Dutch Colonial in Meadowmont makes a graceful first impression with ten-foot ceilings, oversized 6-over-1 windows and hardwood floors throughout. Consider this your invitation because the rest of the house keeps the conversation going. The open kitchen is made for hosting and for the hosts who linger there. A Sub-Zero refrigerator, 36" gas range and 8' granite island with seating anchor the space while an under-counter beverage cooler and walk-in pantry keep the details effortless. The full-size breakfast nook handles everything from weekday coffee to a leisurely brunch. The main-level primary suite knows how to unwind. Heated bath floors, dual vanities, a separate water closet, a tiled walk-in shower with two shower heads and a soaking tub set a decidedly spa-like tone. Two walk-in closets and a door to the covered quaint porch complete the scene, ideal for morning tea, a little scrolling or well-earned quiet. Flexibility is the house's best trick. The bonus room, with its own staircase, plays any role you cast: golf simulator, fitness studio, teen lounge or a playroom for ambitious LEGO architecture. The main-floor laundry room keeps daily life running smoothly. Upstairs are a bedroom en-suite, two bedrooms connected by a generous bath with dual vanities, a nook for an office or craft projects and a separate gaming room. The unfinished walk-up third floor awaits as storage or future living space. The screened porch addition is the star of the evening. A stacked stone gas fireplace, built-in speakers, wall-mounted infrared heaters and ceiling fans make it a four-season space for living and dining. Beyond it, a fenced backyard framed by hardwood trees sets an intimate stage for a solo stove, s'mores and Adirondack chairs. The 2-car garage is equally well-appointed, with an EV charger, built-in cabinets and work counter for the tinkerer in residence. Meandering, sidewalk-lined streets lead to Meadowmont Village, parks, playgrounds, trails and YMCA at Meadowmont. A polished address with plenty of personality.
