This is the kind of house that makes staying home sound like a pretty good plan. Set along the golf course in Kings Grant, 505 Swan Island Court offers more than 3,700 square feet, five bedrooms, four full baths, a three-car garage and an outdoor living setup that may just become your favorite part of the house. A wide covered front porch and two-story foyer welcome you in, and from there, the space just keeps going. Engineered hardwoods, crown molding and a tiled fireplace surround bring warmth to the main living areas, while the kitchen was clearly designed for a house full of people. A five-burner gas cooktop, wall oven, chimney-style vent hood, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash and peninsula with seating for six make it easy to gather here. There is even a dedicated coffee station with granite countertop and beverage refrigerator, because some things deserve their own space. The formal dining room adds a little polish with a tray ceiling and wainscoting, while the eat-in kitchen keeps everyday meals easy. The first-floor primary suite gives you plenty of room to retreat, with an oversized walk-in closet and a spacious bath featuring double sinks, a garden tub, tiled shower and private water closet. A second main-level bedroom and full bath add even more flexibility. Upstairs is where this home really shows off its space. The bedrooms are generously sized, the bonus room is enormous, and a portion of the home’s walk-in storage has been finished and is currently being used as a playroom. Need an office, workout room, creative space or somewhere for the kids to disappear for a while? You have options. And importantly, there is still walk-in attic storage off the bonus room, along with plenty of storage throughout the home. Then take it outside. The owners have expanded the composite decking in two separate areas, creating multiple places to grill, eat, entertain or simply sit back and enjoy the golf course setting. A row of mature holly trees adds privacy without taking away from what makes this backyard so good. With brick and HardiePlank construction, a tankless water heater, incredible storage, flexible living spaces and more than 3,700 square feet, there is a lot of house here. But it is the way 505 Swan Island Court lives, from coffee in the kitchen to evenings out back overlooking the course, that makes this one worth seeing in person.
