Own rather than rent! This charming garden home in Preston Green may just end your search for a new sanctuary! Ideally located near the end of a dead-end in the center of the community, you have a grassy common area steps from your front door for enjoying cornhole or frisbee with friends or a game of fetch with your dog. The house offers one of the larger floorplans in the neighborhood and is very functional, pleasing everyone from first-time homebuyers to those seeking to downsize. A wall of windows across the back of the home floods the rooms with abundant natural light. The great room is wired for surround sound, has a fireplace with gas logs and opens to flex space that can serve as a dining room, home office, media room...or anything else you envision! The spacious kitchen has stained cabinets, solid surface counters and a nice eating area. Completing the first floor is a bedroom with walk-in closet adjacent to a full bath, which would be a nice setup if buyer would like to have a roommate to help with the mortgage. Upstairs is dedicated to the comfort of the owner with a large primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom offering double sinks, a garden tub/shower and ample walk-in closet. All blinds and window treatments convey with property. Overhead storage and a utility sink in the garage enhance this space for hobbyists. Outside, the screened porch is a wonderful spot to start or end your day appreciating the trees in the common space directly behind this home. The current owners have attracted a variety of birds to the yard that you may "adopt" by continuing to feed and observe! The HOA covers front yard maintenance, neighborhood landscaping and annual power washing of the home exterior, leaving you time to walk or play tennis or pickleball at nearby Southeast Park, or hike in Congaree National Park.
