About This Home
Welcome to 227 Lantern Lane, a beautifully maintained home set on a desirable corner lot in the established community of Heritage Creek in Milton. Thoughtful design, inviting curb appeal, and quality finishes come together to create a home that is both comfortable and functional. From the moment you arrive, the property stands out with its covered front porch, board and batten shutters accented by a charming window box, and beautifully landscaped grounds. A fenced side yard offers privacy and flexibility, while the paver patio with raised seating walls creates an ideal outdoor setting for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, a welcoming foyer with a tray ceiling sets the tone, flanked by a formal dining room and a conveniently located powder bath. The gourmet kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring quartz countertops, a wood-accent backsplash, soft-close 42-inch cabinetry with display cabinets and under-cabinet lighting, and an island with pendant lighting and additional storage. The adjacent living room is anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The main-level primary suite offers ease and comfort, complete with a tray ceiling, a custom closet system in the walk-in closet, and a well-appointed ensuite bath with dual sink vanities and a frameless glass shower. The laundry room is also located on this level and provides direct access to the garage, adding to the home’s thoughtful layout. Upstairs, is a loft area, two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath provide plenty of space for guests or family, along with access to attic space. Additional highlights include plantation shutters throughout, a tankless hot water heater, a backup generator for peace of mind, a security system, and an epoxy-coated garage floor. The dishwasher was replaced in 2026, and the washing machine is just one year old. The full unfinished basement spans the entire footprint of the home, offering an exceptional opportunity to expand your living space to suit your needs. Whether you envision a recreation room, home gym, media space, or additional guest accommodations, the open layout provides a blank canvas for future customization. It also serves as excellent storage in its current state, giving you flexibility now with the potential to finish later and add even more value to the home. Residents of Heritage Creek enjoy a welcoming community atmosphere with amenities that enhance everyday living, including a community clubhouse, outdoor pool, fitness center, walking paths, and a community garden.
