1257 Palatka Place SE

This low country style home is perfectly positioned along the edge of a serene community pond enjoying incredible water views in the highly desirable community of Palmetto Creek. The durable brick construction is maintenance free, and the owners have meticulously maintained the home by replacing the roof in 2025 and adding a new heating/cooling system in 2019. The spacious floor plan offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2,451 square feet of well-appointed living space. An aggregate driveway is guided by neatly maintained landscaping, leading to a side-load garage and a welcoming front porch framed by classic columns setting the tone for the warmth and elegance you'll find inside. Step inside the bright foyer, where new LVP flooring flows throughout the common areas, beginning with the formal dining room adorned with wainscoting and crown molding. The layout opens to a spacious great room highlighted by a vaulted ceiling and a cozy gas fireplace flanked by built-in cabinets and shelving. Just beyond, the adjacent sunroom bathes the space in natural light and offers stunning pond views, creating a perfect spot to relax and unwind. A pony wall provides just enough separation while maintaining an open feel to the breakfast nook and kitchen, where granite counters pair beautifully with a tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances and ample wood cabinetry. A peninsula with counter-height bar seating beneath pendant lighting creates a perfect gathering spot, while a pantry adds extra storage. The large owner's suite offers serene pond views, soft carpeting, and a spacious walk-in closet. Its en-suite bathroom features a dual sink vanity, a large soaking tub with shelving for storage or display, and a tiled walk-in shower with sliding glass doors and a handheld showerhead. Family and friends will appreciate the two guest rooms, both with carpeting and a shared hall bathroom with a spacious vanity and a tub/shower combo. One of these bedrooms can easily serve as a home office or study, complete with French doors that open from the home's entryway. Take the stairs up to a large bonus room with a full bathroom perfect for additional guest quarters, flex room, hobby area, or man cave. The relaxing backyard features a paver patio where you can enjoy wonderful pond views and the mild Carolina weather. A stacked stone wall creates the perfect spot to house your grill, and the home's layout and landscaping provide a natural buffer between neighbors, enhancing privacy and tranquility. This home also offers thoughtful storage solutions, including attic space and a well-organized garage complete with a workbench for hobbies. The laundry room features a convenient utility sink and easy access to the garage. If you are searching for a well-maintained home in the amenity rich community of Palmetto Creek you have found it!
