Modern design, elevated finishes, and a location that speaks for itself. Sitting on just over half an acre directly across from Rock Barn Golf and Spa in Conover, this 3,000+ square foot home puts one of North Carolina’s most celebrated courses right at your doorstep, without the golf community HOA dues. Step inside and natural light pours through an open-concept main level built around a true showpiece kitchen. Custom Marsh Cabinets, crafted by a North Carolina company, frame the space, and a locally made Hoodsly range hood crowns the gas range. Café appliances, a farmhouse sink, tile backsplash, and an oversized island with built-in storage complete the look. The kitchen flows straight into the living area, so the conversation never stops while you cook. Behind the scenes, a full prep kitchen with more Marsh cabinetry adds serious function and extra storage, perfect for entertaining. A main-level office finished with detailed trim walls gives you a quiet place to work. Every detail was chosen with intention. R&W engineered hardwood and tile run throughout, every bath has a tiled shower, and warm gold accents carry through the home. Marsh Cabinets appear throughout as well, giving every room the same custom, high-quality finish. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a custom walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath where the soaking tub sits inside the tiled shower. Built-in Marsh cabinetry in the laundry room keeps everything in its place. Outside, the brick exterior with hardboard accents makes a lasting first impression. A large covered back patio sets the stage for slow mornings and evening gatherings, and the level backyard leaves plenty of room to entertain and let pets run. A two-car garage and all natural gas round it out.
