Property details

About 5518 Melstone Rd

Enjoy the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility in this charming single-level home situated on over half an acre of flat land, nestled beside a serene creek. This property features a newly installed roof and a large, detached two-car garage or workshop—ideal for hobbies, storage, or additional workspace. Step onto the inviting covered front porch or relax by the creek in a peaceful swing. Inside, the home welcomes you with a formal living room/flex space that leads seamlessly to the heart of the home: a spacious eat-in kitchen with a small pantry and picturesque views of the private backyard oasis. The kitchen opens to a large family room—perfect for gatherings and everyday living. A separate hallway off the kitchen leads to two guest bedrooms, a full hall bathroom, and a cozy master suite featuring a walk-in tiled shower. Additional amenities include a large laundry room, an extra storage room currently used as a second pantry off the family room, a whole-house water softener system, and a reverse osmosis filter in the kitchen. The fully fenced backyard offers a private retreat with a generous patio/deck area for entertaining, space to unwind in a hammock by the creek, and a detached garage or workshop for added versatility. Sellers are offering a $1,500 paint allowance at closing with an acceptable offer. There is also a small community pool located just a few doors down that offers optional memberships to the community. (Of note: For extra peace of mind with the creek being along the property, the property has been verified by insurance and is NOT in a FEMA flood zone.)
