6 Starwood Valley Tr., Arden, NC 28704

This impeccably designed home delivers effortless luxury in a refined, low-maintenance footprint. Built for total convenience, this turnkey retreat is ideal for buyers looking to downsize without compromising on quality, or those seeking a lock-and-leave second home. At the heart of the home, the gourmet chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, a walk-in pantry and Viking appliances. The primary suite has a custom spa-style shower from U Moen, and a spacious walk-in closet. The split-bedroom layout offers private space for guests, plus an add'l room ideal as a home office (or overflow guests, fits a twin bed). The living area centers around a cozy stone gas fireplace with a rustic local barnwood mantle. Additional features include an April Aire whole-house humidifier, touchless kitchen faucet, tankless water heater and low-maintenance Pella windows adorned with custom window treatments from Yesterday's Tree. The outdoor space is equally easy to maintain, including a covered porch, custom paver patio and built-in fire pit. The home also offers a rare opportunity with an included adjacent lot that has the utilities already run to it, providing privacy, flexibility, and room to grow.
