Incredible Price Improvement! Welcome to 40 Hochley Woods Lane, a stunning creekside Southern Living-Carter Hall plan blending luxury & comfort with modern details in the gated neighborhood, Saddle Shoals. The home's exterior is shrouded in European gardens and a fountain at its entrance. A covered front porch overlooks the scenic front yard and highlights the home's ideal lot location and size on a quiet cul-de- sac. Landscape lighting also provides beauty and functionality to guests as they enter or leave this beautiful home. Upon entering the front door, located under a covered front porch, you are swept into a two-story foyer just off the formal dining area. Through the dining room you will arrive in the spacious kitchen, donning custom cabinetry, African granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, wine cooler, tile backsplash, and slate flooring. Off of the kitchen is a formal breakfast room leading into the main keeping room with gas fireplace and access to the upper level of the back deck.
