About This Home

As of April 2026

Original owner offering a rare opportunity to live on one of the most coveted streets in Carolina Preserve. The highly sought-after Morningside Lane floor plan is the largest single-story layout in the community--and this home stands apart with upgrades you won't find elsewhere. Situated on an oversized lot with large side yard, the property is a gardener's dream featuring mature landscape beds, expansive yard space, and a private, flat backyard ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Enjoy true one-level living with no stairs from either the front entry or garage for everyday convenience and long-term accessibility. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully enhanced to maximize openness and natural light. The sun room--fully enclosed under air--has been reconfigured by removing structural arches, creating a bright, spacious living area that flows seamlessly from the living room. Designed with efficiency and comfort in mind, the home includes Icynene spray foam insulation throughout all roof decking and above the garage ceiling, helping maintain consistent indoor temperatures and lower energy costs. Additional upgrades include an Aquasana whole-house water filtration system and a Rinnai tankless natural gas water heater for continuous hot water. The HVAC system (replaced in 2020) is equipped with an Aprilaire whole-house dehumidifier, fresh air intake, dual-zone thermostats with dampers, and a UV light system for enhanced air quality. A unique and flexible layout allows the secondary bedroom wing to function as a private suite--ideal for guests or a full-time caretaker--with a separate entry from the main living area and independent climate control. Separate laundry room with sink and ample counter space. Lovingly maintained, this home is ready for its next chapter--welcoming new owners to create lasting memories of their own! Carolina Preserve offers residents a 35,000 sq ft club house, state of the art fitness center, tennis (clay), pickleball and bocce courts, indoor and outdoor pools, pottery and dance studios along with over 120 clubs. Enjoy the lifestyle and community you deserve!
