Set at the end of a QUIET CUL-DE-SAC in the GATED community of The Preserve at Heath Brook, this 2018 home sits on 0.41 acres beside an open field, looking out toward the POND AND PRESERVE. Inside, 2,592 square feet of open living is built around the kitchen, where a 12-FOOT ISLAND, GRANITE COUNTERS and stainless appliances make it the natural gathering spot. The living room has an ELECTRIC FIREPLACE, a brick accent wall and built-in cabinets. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, plus two flexible rooms: a den and a formal dining room, both currently set up as home offices, so working from home never means working from the kitchen table. The primary suite has a large CUSTOM CLOSET and a bath with a separate makeup vanity and floor-to-ceiling tile in the shower. Out back is where you'll spend your evenings: a HEATED SALTWATER POOL with a built-in bench running its full length, and a birdcage with privacy curtain for night swims or get-togethers. A FENCED BACKYARD, PAVER DRIVEWAY, and OVERSIZED 2-car garage with epoxy floors round it out. Easy access to SR 200, shopping, dining, medical and I-75. - Three photos have been virtually staged.
