Welcome home to a rare custom built gem in Highland Park! The original owners were given the opportunity to create this unique home by a fabulous builder when the community was first established. The floor plan, room sizes and added features are so refreshing compared to the typical designs of the era. Perched atop a lovely landscaped yard, the curb appeal of this home when approached from down the street is truly majestic. Meticulously cared for and maintained, there are many opportunities to add your own custom finishes as you wish. Timeless hardwoods are found throughout the main level, stairs and hallway, while the bedrooms and bonus room have fresh new carpet. The heart of the home is a bright, cheerful great room that spans the back of the home, sharing a fireplace with an amazing kitchen and keeping room that has space for the largest of family gatherings. You won't mind everyone ending up in the kitchen when you entertain in this home! The keeping room is surrounded by windows and flows onto the large deck. The fireplace offers a beautiful anchor for a sitting area or a generous kitchen table. Ample room for several cooks with a large island, wine cooler, and a custom buffet with glass cabinets for displaying all of your cherished treasures conveniently located en route to the dining room. Completing the main level is a family-sized laundry room and half bath. Upstairs provides a spacious primary suite with a vaulted ceiling with up lighting and sitting area, a generous bathroom and dual closets. This home has an abundance of storage and closets everywhere! A bonus room with a closet, french doors and a wall of windows plus three secondary bedrooms, one with an ensuite bath and two with a Jack and Jill bath are also on the second floor. Need even more space? The terrace level has one finished room right across the hall from an unfinished area that is stubbed for a bathroom. Finally, a massive space provides two more unfinished rooms with which you may create the basement of your dreams! Highland Park is a warm, vibrant community pulsing with activities from swim team, tennis teams and many more for all ages. Walking distance to restaurants and shops, convenient to Sandy Plains baseball, Mountain View Aquatic Center, the library, Harrison Tennis Center, and a trifecta of stellar schools, Rocky Mount, Simpson, and Lassiter.
