Some homes just feel good the moment you arrive, and this is one of them. The open main level brings everyone together, whether friends and loved ones are gathered around the island while dinner cooks or settling in for game night. Warm pendant lights glow over the island, and under-cabinet lighting makes late-night snacks and early-morning coffee feel a little more special. The kitchen also includes an upgraded vented microwave hood. Extra LED lighting in the living room keeps things bright and cheerful well after sunset, and a powder room on the main floor means guests never have to head upstairs. When the day winds down, all three bedrooms upstairs offer a quiet place to rest away from the main living area. There are two full baths up there, and a ceiling fan in every room keeps you comfortable through hot Carolina summers. The extended decorative patio is ready for slow Saturday mornings and summer cookouts. Beyond it, the fully fenced backyard is wide open and full of sunshine, with plenty of room for a garden, outdoor games or pets. The garage has added insulation too, so it can work as a workshop, a home gym or a spot to tinker on weekends. Spring Meadow has the kind of community feel so many people love. Neighbors share a pool and playground, and HOA dues include Spectrum cable TV and high-speed internet, which is one less bill to think about. Frank Liske Park is nearby for trails and ball games, and Downtown Concord is about 15 minutes away for dinner, shopping and community events throughout the year. Race fans will appreciate being close to Charlotte Motor Speedway.
