Welcome to effortless luxury living in the highly sought-after The Retreat at Laurelbrook—a vibrant 55+ community where lifestyle, connection, and convenience come together seamlessly. Known for its active, social atmosphere and beautifully maintained surroundings, this is a place where neighbors become friends and every day feels intentionally designed. Positioned on one of the most desirable homesites in the community, this thoughtfully crafted Easton floor plan by Stanley Martin Builders offers a rare combination of expansive backyard space and exceptional privacy—a true standout feature that is increasingly hard to find. Tucked along a gentle curve on an interior lot, the property enjoys a wider homesite with a deep backyard and natural privacy behind, creating a peaceful, open setting free from obstructive rear views. This is the kind of lot that elevates everyday living and sets this home apart from the rest. From the moment you arrive, the charming covered front porch sets the tone—ideal for morning coffee or casual conversations with neighbors. Inside, the main level is designed for true ease of living, featuring a spacious primary suite with a well-appointed bath and generous closet space, along with two additional bedrooms and a full bath. A tucked-away pocket office just off the kitchen provides the perfect space for work, organization, or creative pursuits. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen stands out with upgraded finishes, quartz countertops, and a large center island—perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. The open-concept family room is anchored by a sleek linear fireplace, offering a modern yet inviting focal point, and flows effortlessly into the screened-in porch—creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that residents in Laurelbrook truly enjoy year-round. Upstairs, a private guest retreat awaits with a fourth bedroom and full bath—ideal for visiting friends and family, hobbies, or a second living area. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines. The rare, oversized backyard offers endless potential—whether you envision expanded outdoor living, gardening, or simply enjoying the added space and privacy. With both a screened porch and additional patio, the setting is perfectly designed for relaxing or entertaining, all while enjoying the peaceful backdrop. The backyard also offers flexibility with the potential (HOA approval) to add a storage shed or further customize the space to fit your needs. Additional upgrades include a garage with painted walls and a durable epoxy-coated floor, along with a discreet, enclosed trash area for added convenience. This is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle defined by low-maintenance living, thoughtful design, and a premium homesite that is truly among the best in the neighborhood. Better than new and move-in ready, this is a standout opportunity in one of Sherrills Ford’s most desirable active adult communities.
