*A true gem* is an understatement, close to a needle in a haystack, as the old saying goes. Welcome to 152 Pendock Lane, located in the very desirable The Farm at Sandy Springs in Piedmont, with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The curb appeal of this home is stellar; it jumps off the road and demands your attention. Beautiful brick lines the front of the home, and the landscaping is just beautiful. You will love the lush Bermuda lawn, which also has a 5-zone in-ground irrigation system. The front porch is covered; notice the gorgeous arched front window to the inside. You are greeted with a nice foyer and a formal dining room with engineered hardwood flooring; the pyramidal ceiling adds character. The beautiful windows allow lots of natural light and have plantation shutters that do remain. The great room has a vaulted ceiling and is a great open space for all your family gatherings for football or movie night; the TV will remain. Gorgeous marble gas fireplace with mantle. The carpet was going to be replaced before listing, but the seller has instead offered an upfront concession for flooring so the new owner can pick out what they desire. The kitchen has beautiful rich wood cabinets, a hard find in newer homes, which are usually white or gray. There is a pantry closet. All stainless appliances convey, including the refrigerator. The laundry room is a nice size with enough space that the owner added two additional pantry-style cabinets for more food and kitchen storage. Just off the kitchen is a great breakfast room. Perfect spot for your morning cup of joe and to catch up on all the headlines on your phone. The home is a split floor plan; all bedrooms are on the main level. The primary suite is on one side, which is a super great size; it features a walk-in closet and a full bath with a dual vanity, garden tub, and separate shower. On the other side of the home are two more generous-sized bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill full bath with separate vanities. Then there is another bedroom that could easily be an in-law suite, as it is a bedroom with its own full bath and large closet. This room has ADA-compliant doors to the room and into the full bathroom, which has a large walk-in shower. It's also situated on the opposite corner of the other bedrooms, making it a little more private. Now here is the part where I am going to sell you this home. The owners put in an extensive investment into the outdoor living. An absolutely magnificent screened porch with large wood columns and a vaulted wood ceiling. They even tiled the floor for easy cleanup; this then steps off onto a Trex sun deck with a canvas awning that overlooks an over-half-acre lot. The lot is fenced with a barn fence with wire so you can still see the back lot's nature and keep the puppy or kiddos inside. This home backs up to 42 acres of common space; yes, you hear correctly, 42 acres owned by the neighborhood. Unheard of today. Gorgeous, to say the least. Yes, there are plenty of birds for your feeders and a herd of deer that come every night with their babies, and do not forget to put up your hummingbird feeder. An outstanding neighborhood with a pool that was just resurfaced and new pool loungers this year, and there is a playground for kids or grandkids. Very well kept; be sure to stop and take a look while you are here visiting. There is a nature trail that connects to the other side of the neighborhood, which is a nice addition to your evening stroll. The location is really great, about 25 min to downtown Greenville and even shorter if you take the toll, which ends right by the hospital and doctors in downtown Greenville. I85 is about 5 miles away. Locally you will find groceries, pharmacies, gas, and restaurants. The high school is an International Baccalaureate, and other schools are close by, right behind the house. A few more noteworthy items. Home has a brand-new roof, a 5-year-old HVAC, a new water heater, the fence is 4 years old, and the garage door opene
