Fresh updates and thoughtful improvements make this beautifully maintained home an exceptional opportunity in the highly sought-after Lake Ridge community of Tega Cay. The sellers have recently invested nearly $20,000 in brand-new sod in both the front and back yards, creating refreshed landscaping that will green up beautifully as spring arrives. Sophisticated and move-in ready, this home blends modern elegance with everyday comfort while offering access to Lake Ridge's resort-style amenities, vibrant community events, and award-winning schools. Ideally located near shopping, dining, I-485, the airport, Catawba Park, and Lake Wylie. A welcoming covered front porch and impressive two-story foyer open to bright, inviting living spaces highlighted by hardwood floors and 9-foot ceilings. The gourmet kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island flowing into the breakfast area and spacious great room with a stunning floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace - perfect for entertaining. A main-level bedroom and full bath provide flexible space for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. Upstairs you'll find a large bonus room with custom barn doors, a Jack-and-Jill bath with dual vanities, a private ensuite bedroom, and generously sized secondary bedrooms - all with walk-in closets. The primary suite is a relaxing retreat featuring a tray ceiling and spa-inspired bath. The oversized garage offers epoxy flooring, built-ins, and abundant storage. Outdoor living truly shines here.
