Songbirds, surround sound, and someone else mows the lawn. Some houses ask a lot of you. This one doesn't. Built in 2005 as a Parade of Homes showcase in the Nottingham Place section of Ford's Colony, this welcoming 2,796 sq. ft. home is designed for one-floor easy living, with all four bedrooms on the main level. A front porch leads to high ceilings, wood floors and an open great room with a remote-controlled gas fireplace, alongside a classic window-lined dining room. A Sonos system plays music inside and out. The primary suite has double vanities, a soaking tub, a separate shower and an oversized walk-in closet. One of the three additional bedrooms is currently used as a home office, while the others are perfect for guests, kids, or hobbies. Upstairs, the large bonus room has its own audio system and is made for movie nights, an art studio, or extra guests. Out back, a screened porch opens onto a private fenced yard full of songbirds. The HOA handles mowing, trimming, leaf removal, irrigation maintenance, snow and trash removal, so it works as well as a weekend getaway as a full-time residence. Beautiful walking trails nearby lead to a recreation area with an Olympic-size pool. A walk-in attic and two-car garage complete the home.
