Overview
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. This thoughtfully crafted Easton floor plan by Stanley Martin Builders offers the perfect blend of comfort, flexibility, and elevated design. Positioned on a desirable interior homesite along a gentle curve, the home enjoys a wider, more private backyard setting—free from obstructive views—creating a peaceful backdrop for everyday living. 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, full bath, — ideal for visiting friends and family, hobbies, or a second living area. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with both a screened porch and additional patio space designed for relaxation or entertaining. The backyard offers rare flexibility, with the potential (HOA approval) to add a storage shed or customize the space to fit your needs. The garage has been upgraded with painted walls and a durable epoxy-coated floor, and even includes 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 community where residents truly love where they live. Better than new and move-in ready, this is a standout opportunity in one of Sherrills Ford’s most desirable active adult communities.
