This is your opportunity to own this immaculately maintained, one-owner home in a truly exceptional Ballantyne location, just steps from The Ballantyne Bowl, shopping, schools, and parks. It’s hard to beat this crown-jewel location when you live in the suburbs! Kensington at Ballantyne was developed by select custom builders, with a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that still shines throughout the neighborhood. A gracious two-story foyer is flanked by the formal living room and dining room, creating an inviting setting for entertaining. The kitchen features white cabinetry, beveled-edge countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Classic details carry throughout the home, including hardwood floors, extensive millwork, Plantation shutters, a gas fireplace with a remote, and even a working central vacuum system. Upstairs, the primary suite delivers a classic, spa-inspired retreat with a jetted tub, glass-enclosed shower, and custom closet system — no wire shelves here! The bonus room/4th bedroom offers exceptional flexibility with a built-in home office and bookshelves, providing plenty of space to sleep, work, read, or exercise. The backyard is a private retreat, showcasing a Carolina garden worthy of a magazine spread. Azaleas bring a spectacular burst of color each spring, while a rock-waterfall pond, mature landscaping, favorite flowering plants, and landscape lighting create a setting that feels distinctly Southern. A Rachio smart irrigation system keeps everything beautifully maintained and efficiently watered. Major systems and updates include a new roof (2015), a Trane HVAC system serviced twice a year with ductwork replaced, and 2021 gutters with LeafFilter for worry-free year-round maintenance. The side-load garage makes an impression with its copper awning, complemented by a Carolina-blue arched, divided-light double French front door. Generous storage is found throughout the home, and the expansive lot extends beyond the backyard through mature trees, with a back gate opening to space for daily walks or weekend adventures. This home has been truly loved and meticulously maintained, and it is ready for its next chapter.
