Welcome to this beautifully maintained two story home in the established and sought after neighborhood, The Gates. This home is one of the few in the neighborhood with an expansive, level back yard with endless possibilities... room for a swimming pool, and already has your own private basketball pad! The heart of the home is the open concept design that connects the living room, breakfast area, and kitchen, creating a bright and airy space ideal for gathering and overlooking the patio and back yard. Main level also offers a dedicated office space for that much needed privacy when working from home. Upstairs you will find a split bedroom plan for additional primary suite privacy, separated by the loft from secondary bedrooms. Primary bedroom is highlighted by tray ceiling and walk in closet and ensuite bath. Home also features NEW HVAC AND NEW TANKLESS water heater! Enjoy all The Gates has to offer, including a beautiful community swimming pool, playgrounds, and only minutes to restaurants, shops, and Lake Norman!
