Situated on a beautifully landscaped corner lot with upgraded river rock accents, irrigation, concrete curb scaping, a fenced backyard, and peaceful pond views, this home delivers both luxury and functionality. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen featuring a large luxury island, two-tone soft-close dovetail cabinetry, granite countertops, gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, a stainless hood, and an oversized pantry with custom shelving. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the spacious living area, where soaring ceilings, a coffered ceiling with cove lighting, custom built-ins, recessed can lighting, and a sleek linear fireplace create a warm yet elegant setting for everyday living and entertaining. The first-floor owner’s suite is a true retreat and one of the home’s standout features, complete with its own linear fireplace, a tray ceiling with cove lighting, an oversized custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with double vanities, framed mirrors, a freestanding soaking tub, and a frameless walk-in tile shower. Secondary bathrooms are equally well-appointed with quality finishes. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal makes an impression with a welcoming front porch, oversized garage with side-entry door, and striking double iron front doors. Inside, the home is light and bright with large windows, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, Craftsman-style trim, high baseboards, recessed can lighting, attic storage, custom walk-in closets in every bedroom, and the added peace of mind of a whole-home surge protector. Along with flood lights that are also ring cameras! Wood stair treads lead to the upstairs bedroom, offering added character and flexibility for guests or additional living space. Outside, the fenced backyard overlooks a serene pond, creating the perfect backdrop for relaxing evenings or outdoor entertaining. Covington Lake East offers the perfect blend of charm and convenience, with residents enjoying a community pool, cabana, peaceful strolls, and bike rides, all just minutes from shopping, dining, medical facilities, top-rated hospitals, golf, and only a short drive to the beach. This exceptional custom home combines timeless style, thoughtful design, premium upgrades, and an unbeatable location in one of Carolina Forest's most desirable gated communities.
