About this home
Welcome to 198 Carriage Creek Drive, where space, flexibility, and a peaceful wooded setting come together on more than an acre in the Cleveland School District. Built in 2011 by respected local builder Darryl Evans and lovingly maintained by its original owner, this home was designed with both everyday comfort and room to grow in mind. Inside, you'll find generous room sizes, custom trim throughout, abundant storage, and a beautiful gourmet kitchen that creates a natural gathering place for family and friends. The home offers 3 bedrooms plus flexible spaces that create the potential for a 4th bedroom, home office, guest room, playroom, or hobby space. Upstairs, a large finished bonus room adds nearly 700 square feet of permitted living space, giving you even more room to spread out, entertain, work, or relax. The primary suite feels like its own retreat, with a spacious bath featuring a soaking tub and separate shower, along with a large walk-in closet. Throughout the home, thoughtful storage and flexible living areas make it easy to adapt the space to fit your next chapter. Outside is where this property really stands apart. Set on more than an acre and backing to mature woods, the backyard offers a sense of privacy and peace that can be hard to find. Enjoy quiet mornings on the Trex front porch, unwind on the screened porch, tend to the established garden boxes, or simply enjoy having room to breathe. A two-car garage, low HOA dues, Cleveland School District location, and a one-owner history complete the picture. If you've been looking for a home with generous space inside, more than an acre outside, and the flexibility to truly make it your own, 198 Carriage Creek Drive is one you'll want to experience in person. BONUS Lender Incentive of 1% of the loan amount up to 5K OR 100% financing with a 2nd lender whichever is more helpful! Ask your agent about this!
