This elegant one-story Southern-style residence offers roughly 2,979 sq ft of living space, including **4 bedrooms**, **2.5 bathrooms**, a spacious **3-car garage**, and an optional bonus room of about 811 sq ft above the garage.
Curb Appeal & Porch Presence
A massive covered front porch wraps gracefully across the entrance, enhanced by three centered dormers that add character and natural light. The porch instantly invites “sit down and stay awhile” vibes typical of Southern homes.
Indoor-Outdoor Living At Its Best
The living room enjoys a gas-log fireplace as its focal point and flows out onto a rear covered porch. That porch is fully equipped with an **outdoor kitchen**, making it ideal for entertaining, al-fresco meals or simply enjoying fresh air on a warm evening.
Efficient & Balanced Interior Layout
The open kitchen features a multi-use island and a large pantry, and it is visually connected to the living/dining area for ease of flow and social living.
The master suite is positioned for privacy—behind the garage wing, separated from the secondary bedrooms.
It includes a generous ensuite and walk-in closet that conveniently leads to the laundry room.
Meanwhile, three additional bedrooms sit on the opposite side of the home, sharing a compartmentalized bath.
Bonus Space & Garage Features
The attached 3-car garage includes an additional storage room for gear, tools or seasonal items.
Above the garage lies the optional bonus room (~811 sq ft) which can serve as a media room, play zone, home office or guest suite—giving you room to grow.
