Why wait for new construction when this beautifully maintained home in Carolina Overlook looks and feels practically brand new? Meticulously cared for and truly move-in ready, this home offers easy one-level living in one of Clayton's premier 55+ active-adult communities. The real standout may be out back. The home backs to a community walking trail, creating a wonderful setting to enjoy from the screened porch and adjoining patio. Whether it's morning coffee, an afternoon with a book or dinner outside, this is an outdoor space you'll actually want to use. Inside, the bright, open layout is equally inviting and shows exceptionally well. Carolina Overlook offers an impressive amenity package centered around the 20,000-square-foot Lakeview Manor clubhouse, with indoor and outdoor pools, fitness and yoga spaces, pickleball, bocce, gathering areas and more. And when you want to venture out, Downtown Clayton—with its restaurants, shops, coffee, breweries and entertainment—is just approximately 3 miles away. Low-maintenance living, an exceptional community and a beautiful home with one of its best features waiting just outside the back door. Up to $3000 closing costs with preferred lender.
