If you have been searching for a MOVE-IN ready RANCH home, with a ONE ACRE lot with total privacy, in the HICKORY FLAT area - you JUST FOUND IT! This is a gorgeous, craftsman style home loaded with updates! The open-concept floor plan starts as you walk in - you are greeted with an ENTRANCE FOYER with high ceilings leading into LARGE, but cozy, FAMILY ROOM with vaulted ceilings and a STACKED STONE gas fireplace. You'll love entertaining your family and friends in this space since it's completely open to the kitchen and breakfast area. And look at this kitchen!! It features a HUGE ISLAND, loads of counter and cabinet space, STAINLESS appliances and a tile backsplash. Your LAUNDRY ROOM is conveniently located between the kitchen and garage area and has cabinets and counter space, and there's a HALF BATHROOM just beyond the laundry. The SEPARATE DINING room is a perfect place to gather when entertaining since it overlooks the kitchen and family room. The main level also features an ENORMOUS master suite with a large, walk-in closet, an updated bathroom with granite counters & tile floors, and there's access from the master to the back yard! There's two more generously-sized bedrooms on the main which share an updated bath with beautiful granite counters and updated lighting. UPSTAIRS offers a 4th bedroom/bonus room with a full bath and a large walk-in closet. Let's move on to the FENCED in BACK YARD - WOW! There's a LARGE PATIO you can access from the breakfast room or the master bedroom which overlooks a PARK-LIKE setting! This is where you'll spend these upcoming Fall evenings - grilling on the patio, listening to music while roasting marshmallows over the BUILT-IN FIRE PIT! Some additional upgrades and features include - HARDWOOD FLOORS on the entire main level, updated lighting throughout, NEUTRAL paint colors, newer roof, windows & screens, new HVAC, new sod in the entire front yard, & a whole-house water filtration system. You can't beat the location - right on the border of MILTON but with CHEROKEE taxes and in the CREEKVIEW high school district. NO HOA! This is one of those homes that has PRIDE IN OWNERSHIP - and it shows! It's honestly a RARE FIND!
