About this home

Dreams do come true at 1489 White Dogwood Court. From the moment you arrive, the classic covered front porch welcomes you to sit a spell, sip sweet tea or a mint julep, and take in the charm of this beautifully maintained home. Step inside and your eye is immediately drawn across the hickory hardwood floors to the soaring great room, where second-story windows fill the open floor plan with natural light. Clean, crisp sightlines are thoughtfully framed by white-painted chair rails, crown molding, window trim, and beadboard, creating warmth and definition throughout the main living spaces. Details such as walnut inlay in the hickory floors, a dramatic vaulted ceiling, and a three-sided fireplace make the great room the true heart of the home. Designed for comfortable living and effortless entertainment, this spacious 3,627-square-foot home offers three bedrooms on the main level, a fourth bedroom upstairs, and 3.5 bathrooms. The home chef's kitchen features abundant granite countertops, a tile backsplash, under- and over-cabinet lighting, solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a generous pantry closet. Formal and informal dining areas provide plenty of room to gather. The primary bedroom suite includes a tray ceiling with a paddle fan, three closets, and a spa-like bathroom with a glass-enclosed tiled shower. A tankless Rinnai water heater provides endless hot water for luxurious showers. The four-season room is sure to become a favorite retreat, offering the comfort of air conditioning while you enjoy Carolina summer days. Just steps away, the backyard deck is ready for grilling, barbecues, and outdoor relaxation. Take a breath, exhale, and listen to the gentle babble of the outdoor water feature as the day drifts away in this 0.44-acre, park-like setting. Front and backyard landscape lighting softly illuminate the gardens in the evening. Upstairs, a secluded fourth bedroom with its own full bathroom provides privacy for guests. The loft overlooks the great room below and offers a bright, inviting space for reading, music, entertainment, or guest relaxation, enhanced by three sunlit dormer windows. Additional conditioned flex space is ideal for seasonal décor storage, while the unfinished walk-in attic over the garage is fully floored and spacious enough to become a future bowling alley, billiards room, hobby space, or additional storage area. A radiant reflective barrier in the attic helps support the home's comfort and efficiency. This well-maintained home has been lovingly cared for by owners who have kept it in exceptional condition. Recent updates include a new roof in 2024, mini split in 2026, Rinnai tankless water heater in 2020, HVAC system updates in 2016 and 2017, motorized storm shutter in 2021, and 3M window thermal film in 2007. If this was not enough, I saved the two-car garage for last for the craftsman seeking a workspace and place to keep your tools and toys. Request your private tour today--tomorrow may be too late.
