Come discover this rare gem in the centrally located community of Sparrows Bend! Nestled appealingly in the back of the neighborhood, overlooking a serene pond, 179 Thrush Trail is a stunning SEVEN bedroom, SIX AND A HALF bathroom residence offering an impressive array of upgrades. Spanning almost 3,700 square feet, this meticulously maintained home boasts an open-concept layout with ample room for a large family or hosting your out-of-town guests. Upon entering, you're welcomed by soaring 9-foot ceilings and a generous flex space to your right, adorned with a sophisticated coffered ceiling. Stroll down the hallway to discover a cozy living room with gas fireplace, directly across from the gourmet kitchen boasting double ovens, elegant Shadow Storm granite countertops, and a gorgeous apron-front white sink. This exquisite chef's kitchen is further perfected with a chic butler's pantry and a roomy walk-in pantry, ideal for storing all the essentials for your culinary creations. The home management center with undercabinet lighting flows seamlessly from the kitchen, thanks to the matching cabinetry and granite countertops. Continuing downstairs, the primary suite is a true oasis, offering a tray ceiling, a luxurious en-suite bathroom with dual vanities and a spacious walk-in shower, topped off by an expansive walk-in closet. The laundry room, drop zone, and a full guest suite complete the downstairs. Upstairs you'll find FIVE more bedrooms, three of which have their own en-suite bathrooms for added privacy. The remaining rooms offer versatile space, perfect for an art studio, fitness room, or any other creative vision! Outside, the beautifully landscaped backyard is your private retreat, featuring a screened-in porch and additional patio slab. The yard is enclosed by sleek black aluminum fencing, preserving unobstructed views of the pond and majestic mature oak trees beyond. With easy access to Hwy 17 and the future Hampstead Bypass, this home is a dream come true!
