Property details

About 147 Carter Rd

This striking new-construction home sits on over an acre and delivers modern design, top-tier craftsmanship, and true everyday livability. Although officially three bedrooms, the large layout lives more like four, built to impress without losing sight of creature comforts. A wide horseshoe driveway leads to a finished three-car garage with sleek metal doors and polished floors and walls, hinting at the attention to detail found throughout this offering. Step inside the home through a custom hardwood door and you’re welcomed by a dramatic two-story foyer and a floating staircase that anchors the space beautifully. The open-concept floor plan flows seamlessly through the main level, where nine-foot ceilings and rich Brazilian Hickory hardwood floors frame generous living and dining areas. At the heart of it all is a chef’s kitchen with deep green American Woodmark shaker cabinetry, Galaxy black granite waterfall island, double ovens, built-in microwave, Samsung touchscreen refrigerator, and a champagne gold faucet that adds a touch of shine. A flexible main-level en suite offers privacy and versatility and can serve as a wellness studio, home office, or guest quarters. Upstairs, the true primary suite comes complete with a tray ceiling, dual walk-in closets, and a luxurious bathroom featuring a soaking tub, oversized shower, and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms each have their own attached bath, ensuring space and comfort for all. The home’s lower level is fully finished with endless potential for a media room, home gym, or creative studio. A second-floor laundry room includes a new Samsung washer and dryer, utility sink, and plenty of space to keep things organized. Additional highlights include a brand-new septic system, Andersen windows, a Generac gas-powered generator, and a four-zone central air system. Every inch of this home is thoughtfully designed, spacious, flexible, and built with care. Select photos have been virtually staged.
