If you’re searching for privacy and a country feel, but need the convenience of neighborhood amenities and city living, this could be the one for you! This beautiful 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home is located in the lovely neighborhood of Mahaffey Plantation in Greer.

Built by Ike Construction and situated on a spacious .61 lot, this 3-story stunner is backed by Griffith Creek that runs from the Enoree River bordering the east side of the community and many acres of pristine land rumored to be a nature reserve. Upon entering the 2-story foyer of this Craftsman style home, you’ll be charmed by the elaborate moulding and coffered ceiling of the dining room and then wowed by the soaring vaulted ceiling, stone fireplace and built-in cabinets of the expansive great room.

A wall of windows creates a “tree house” feel, offering a glimpse of the upper deck (there’s another deck below) with its natural buffer of trees and the creek beyond. The perfect spot for sipping morning coffee, grilling dinner or entertaining family and friends, this deck really expands your options for indoor/outdoor living. Lovely hardwoods throughout this open concept space lead you to the breakfast room surrounded by windows.

Stainless appliances, granite countertops and gleaming wood cabinets make the neighboring chef’s kitchen the heart of this home. Also located on the main level, the master suite is a cozy retreat that offers the surprise of a rustic brick feature wall, dark hand-scraped hardwood floors and even more wonderful windows. Walk in closets and a large master bath with double vanities, jetted tub, separate tiled shower and water closet round out this master getaway.

Charming built-in display cabinets (that can double as pantries), a powder room and a walk-in laundry room with sink complete the main floor. A secondary staircase leads to the bonus room over the garage that could be used as a media room, home office, art studio or teen hangout. Returning to the main entry, you have the choice of venturing up to the third level or down to the lower level.

A lovely open staircase leads to the second bedroom, third bedroom and full bath on the upper level that connect by a crossover gallery and overlook the great room. Carpeted stairs lead down from the main level to an expansive lower level that boasts five additional finished rooms. Flanked on each rear corner by the spacious fourth and fifth bedrooms with their views of the wooded backyard, there’s also a gym/exercise room, a billiards/ping pong room, a playroom/storage room and an additional full bath on this level.

The lower deck offers a covered entertaining area that leads to a firepit which is just the spot for gathering neighbors, friends and family for marshmallow-roasting on chilly nights. Now even though you’ll feel miles away from civilization, don’t forget you’re still super close to great shopping and restaurants and only a 5-minute drive to I-85, a 10-minute drive to GSP Airport and a 20-minute drive to Downtown Greenville. Quality construction with attention to detail, a 2-car garage, central vacuum, security system, full-yard irrigation system, fresh decorator palette paint and of course award-winning schools and a community swimming pool should move this beauty right to the top of your list!
