Better than new, and finished in ways a builder never would. Built in 2023 and upgraded top to bottom since, this corner-lot home shows an interior designer's touch in every room. Out back is a showpiece: a detached garage with it's own separate entrance with over 1,500 sq ft under roof. Homes like this rarely come to market. Curb appeal starts at the street. A brick and board-and-batten exterior sits behind professionally landscaped grounds with outdoor lighting that glows at dusk. The seller added a new garage door, front door, cedar shutters, outdoor sconces and an extra driveway. The covered front porch now has a cedar ceiling and new cedar-wrapped brick posts, a warm welcome before you step inside. Inside, a bright foyer opens to a staircase with iron balusters and into the heart of the home: a dramatic living room with vaulted ceilings. Light pours in under a statement chandelier, with a catwalk overlooking from above. Custom built-in cabinetry spans the wall for display and storage, and the fireplace is finished with a new mantle. The home has been freshly repainted, with new light fixtures and plantation shutters throughout. The kitchen is made for gathering. It has crisp white cabinetry, stainless appliances, herringbone tile, granite countertops, custom butler walk-in-pantry, and a peninsula with bar seating. New tile in the pantry and laundry, plus board-and-batten walls in the laundry, make even the everyday spaces feel styled. The primary suite is on the main level, a true retreat with a large walk-in closet and a new custom wardrobe. The ensuite has dual sink vanities, a freestanding soaking tub and a walk-in tiled shower with a frameless glass shower door. A powder room off the foyer features an artist hand-painted leaf motif in gold. Upstairs, new hardwood floors run through large bedrooms, each with walk-in, walk-through closets. A flexible fourth room works as a bedroom, bonus room or office. New carpet on the stairs completes the refresh. Outdoor living is the second half of this home. The back porch has been fully screened in and finished with a cedar ceiling, cedar posts and Hunter ceiling fans. Step out to a newly added concrete patio and a fire pit under the string lights, made for slow evenings and long weekends. Then there's the detached garage. It's brand new, with about 981 sq ft of garage space, a bathroom, its own covered patio and about 540 sq ft of unfinished storage upstairs. It's ready for a workshop, boat or RV storage, a home gym, a car collection or a future studio. Along with the attached 2-car garage, there's room for every vehicle, hobby and toy. All of this sits in highly desirable Bethlehem, just minutes from Lake Hickory and Viewmont, Hickory's most sought-after area. With a main-level primary, upscale finishes and a detached garage most buyers only dream about, this one won't last. Showings start 10/05 and more photos to come!
