EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION just steps from Lake Petit and alongside the historic lake trail, with a creek and gentle rapids you can hear from your own back deck. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal is unforgettable-so much so that this home was featured on a PBS program highlighting beautiful home finishes. Step inside to a welcoming entryway that opens to a dramatic wall of windows, giving the sensation of living in a treehouse. Rare acacia hardwood floors and an open-concept kitchen create an effortless flow for entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen, filled with natural light, boasts a generous center island-perfect for casual dining or serving a stunning buffet. Just beyond, the deck overlooks a lush forest, with direct access to a trail that leads to cascading creek rapids and a hidden cove on Lake Petit. The owner's suite features its own wall of windows, a spacious walk-in closet, and feels like a serene ensuite retreat. Upstairs, two private bedrooms and a versatile loft-ideal for a library or home office-offer comfort and flexibility. The terrace level provides a spacious family room for gatherings, plus a private bedroom with ensuite, making it easy to host guests or multiple families. Step outside to discover your hydrangea garden, protected by deer fencing, just beyond double doors that invite the outdoors in. This is more than a home-it's a lifestyle. Designed from a Southern Living house plan, it has been showcased not only on PBS but the butterfly garden on the back deck was also featured in Southern Living magazine. You simply must see this extraordinary property in person!
