Located on a quiet cul de sac in The Lakes, 147 Lake Penchant Court is a newly constructed 5 bed, 4.5 bath modern manse with an open, split floor plan and ample space for easy, Southern living. It's the perfect stylish home for those with a penchant for entertaining.  Step through the grand wooden double front doors and the mantled fireplace, built-in bookcases, and decadent crown molding of the living room envelope you in refined comfort.  The tailor made chef's kitchen is full of classic white cabinetry with miles of counter space and a massive island for meal prep.  A large pantry provides an appliance counter for keeping work tops clutter free. There's even space reserved for a built in espresso/coffee maker. With a gas cook top and electric wall oven, this room is designed for ease. And the formal dining area is the dream of every consummate host.   When work threatens to pull you away, retire to the comfortable office to take care of business without sacrificing leisure time.  The spacious master suite is a legitimate sanctuary with huge tiled shower and separate tub for soaking. The closets are also capable of supporting a moderate to obsessive shoe habit!  Three large bedrooms provide spacious lodging and a second-floor suite (yes, it has its very own full bath) offers so many smart options as a 5th bedroom, a second master bedroom, a mother-in-law's suite, or a bonus room.  Outdoor living is made easy with a covered patio featuring water and gas hookups for an outdoor kitchen as well as a full bath (that's right, another full bath to keep the house free of dirt and little wet footprints!!!).   This well designed home was built with a post tension foundation, tankless water heater, and was pre wired to be smart home capable. Underground utilities, storm shutters, and security lighting protect it from all manner of mayhem. A cavernous 3 car garage offers ample storage for cars, trucks, boats and other toys, and the large driveway features convenient RV hookups.  Plus, residents of The Lakes enjoy a gated community blessed with private access to a clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis court, and playground for those who appreciate an active lifestyle.
