This beautifully designed 3BR/3.5BA custom-built luxury residence offers 3,543 heated sq ft and is situated on a rare 0.44-acre double lot in the gated Covington Lake East community in Carolina Forest. Entering through the striking double iron front doors, you immediately experience the luxury and craftsmanship found throughout the home. The chef-inspired gourmet kitchen is the star of the show, featuring upgraded cabinetry, a 9' x 4' two-tone quartz island, butler’s pantry, breakfast area with bay window and built-in bench seating, and breakfast bar, along with an imported Italian dual-fuel range, wall oven, microwave, and glass tile backsplash. The open floor plan showcases 10' ceilings, 8' doors, ceramic wood-look plank flooring, plantation shutters, and a spacious great room with a gas fireplace. A formal dining room with tray ceiling and decorative pillars provides an elegant space for gatherings, while the turret-shaped office offers a unique and functional dedicated workspace. The Carolina room features a dramatic 14' vaulted ceiling, stacked stone fireplace, and four-panel sliding doors opening to a fenced backyard overlooking the pond. The first primary suite offers a spa-style bath with soaking tub, dual sinks, and a walk-in shower with rain head. Bedroom two is also a full En-suite, while bedroom three features a large walk-in closet. Additional highlights include a heated and cooled three-car garage with a truck-depth third bay and attic storage accessible by elevator lift. Construction quality and mechanical systems are detailed in the brochure provided in the documents, as this home offers upgrades too numerous to list.
