About This Home

As of January 2020

Situated among countless mature trees and lush landscaping on a gated 2.17 acre lot on Cowards Creek Drive, this property hosts a long list of impressive amenities. As you enter the gates, you’ll travel down the elongated circle driveway with ample parking and meticulously manicured topiaries. Your gaze will be drawn to the classic beauty of the home as you approach the two-story pillars and double door entry. Inside, you’ll find a marvelously open floor plan, a perfect combination of travertine and manufactured wood flooring, granite countertops, wood beams on the soaring vaulted ceiling, and custom touches around every corner. The backyard of the property is equally as impressive and is complete with a sport court, stunning pool area, a private gazebo, covered outdoor kitchen, and a spacious unfinished guest cottage. This estate is an idyllic blend of rustic elegance and modern convenience.
