228 Mattie's Way

Description

Welcome to 228 Matties Way, an exquisite lakefront retreat that perfectly balances timeless elegance with modern sophistication. Completely renovated from 2023 to 2025, this stunning home showcases exceptional craftsmanship, designer finishes, and sweeping views of Lake Rangia. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a residence that is both beautiful and highly functional. Step inside to an inviting open-concept interior where luxury and comfort meet - The designer kitchen has been totally transformed with custom cabinetry, premium quartz countertops, and top-of-the-line Sub-Zero, Cove, and Wolf appliances. Undermount lighting and a custom tile backsplash add both warmth and sophistication. In the living area, a new wood-burning fireplace with a custom cypress mantle and quartz-topped built-ins creates a cozy yet refined focal point, while the adjoining dining room features a brick accent wall that ties seamlessly into the home's design. The fully renovated bathrooms, including the master, Jack & Jill, and guest baths, feature high-end finishes and elegant detailing throughout. A custom "Her's" master closet provides a beautifully organized space with fully customized storage solutions. Throughout the home, you'll find new flooring, recessed lighting, designer fixtures, custom interior shutters, and solid two-panel doors with premium hardware. Every doorway, window, and baseboard has been finished with elegant, stacked header trim, and the entire interior - including ceilings, walls, and trim - has been freshly painted. A new Trane 5-ton HVAC system ensures year-round comfort and energy efficiency. The exterior has been equally transformed with every element upgraded for beauty, durability, and peace of mind - All windows and doors have been replaced with hurricane-impact-rated models, complemented by hurricane-rated garage doors and a new roof installed in August 2021. The screened back porch, finished with a pine tongue-and-groove ceiling and stone tile flooring, offers the perfect place to relax while enjoying tranquil lake views. A new paver driveway, upgraded exterior lighting, and a rebuilt irrigation system complete the thoughtful exterior enhancements. Set on one of the most desirable lots in Kelly Plantation, this property offers breathtaking views of Lake Rangia, a deep manicured backyard, and the serene beauty of the bird sanctuary beyond your porch. Best of all, it sits in Flood Zone X, so no flood insurance is required. Located within the exclusive gated community of Kelly Plantation, residents enjoy world-class amenities including a meticulously maintained championship golf course, golf clubhouse with bar and grill, ballroom, and restaurant. A separate Owner's Club offers spaces for meetings and events with both large and small rooms, full kitchen facilities, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Outdoor recreation abounds with tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, scenic nature trails, a dog park, and an equestrian center.
