Imagine waking up on the main floor, never needing the stairs unless you want to. That's the everyday reality at 16 S Birch Creek Way, a beautifully maintained townhome in The Harvest at Summerwind Plantation -- one of Garner's most sought-after 55+ communities. The open layout was designed for the way you actually live: a gas fireplace anchoring the living room, granite counters in the kitchen, arched doorways adding architectural warmth, and wide doorways throughout for ease and accessibility. Everything has been thoughtfully updated so you can simply move in -- new LVP flooring (2024), fresh sheet vinyl in the baths (2024), HVAC (2020), water heater (2021), and a roof replaced in 2019. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms with tray ceilings give guests their own retreat -- or give you the home office you've always wanted. A semi-finished walk-in attic offers exceptional storage or room to grow into. Dual handrails on the staircase and a one-car attached garage round out the thoughtful design. Out back, a private patio with mature trees creates a peaceful, screened backdrop perfect for morning coffee. And when you're ready for more, White Oak Crossing shopping, I-40, and downtown Raleigh are just minutes away. Here, your HOA handles the lawn, exterior maintenance, trash, powerwashing, and pool -- because your time is better spent living. Lock the door. Go live your life.
