PRICE REDUCED! Discover exceptional value at 2856 Trailwood Drive--an elegant 4-bedroom, 3-bath home nestled in the amenity-rich, gated community of St. James Plantation. This beautifully maintained residence offers timeless curb appeal with manicured landscaping, mature trees, and a welcoming front porch. Inside, you'll find a spacious, light-filled layout featuring hardwood floors, crown molding, tray ceilings, and decorative columns.

Natural light pours into the cheerful breakfast nook overlooking the landscaped backyard. A sunroom with beadboard ceiling and walls of windows opens to the back deck--ideal for al fresco dining or quiet mornings surrounded by nature. The vaulted living room centers around a see-through gas fireplace shared with the sunroom. The primary suite offers deck access, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite. A finished room over the garage serves as a private fourth bedroom with full bath. On an oversized lot, this Certified Wildlife Habitat features a charming English garden attracting butterflies and bluebirds. The built-in gas line provides effortless grilling, and the oversized garage offers extra storage. As an extra bonus, the entire crawl space was recently cleaned out with all new encapsulation (see photo).
