The backyard is the headline, and the rest of the house backs it up. This brick and stone home sits in Handsmill on Lake Wylie, a gated community on the York side of the lake off Highway 274, with a covered outdoor kitchen, a paver patio, and a fenced, tree-lined yard that feels like its own private retreat. A covered front porch leads to iron double front doors and a bright foyer. Hardwood floors, plantation shutters, and tall ceilings run through the main level. French doors open to a front office or flex room, and the formal dining room sits just across the foyer with chair rail and a chandelier. The kitchen is built around a large granite island with seating, surrounded by stained cabinetry, a tile backsplash, a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, and stainless appliances. A walk-in pantry keeps everything organized. The breakfast area overlooks the backyard, and the living room is open to the kitchen with a gas fireplace framed by built-in shelving. A drop zone with a bench and cubbies, a powder room, and a guest suite with its own full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, a large loft with a vaulted ceiling and built-in shelving gives you a second living space, plus room for a desk area. The primary suite has a tray ceiling, a ceiling fan, and a walk-in closet. Its bath has dual vanities with a makeup seat, a soaking tub, and a walk-in tiled shower. Three more bedrooms and two full baths are on this level, along with a laundry room with a deep stainless utility sink and a pull-down sprayer. Step outside and you'll see why this one stands out. The covered outdoor kitchen has a stone bar with seating, a stainless farmhouse sink, a gas flat-top grill, stainless storage, and a TV wall. A wide paver patio wraps the back of the house with room for dining and a fire pit lounge, all inside a fenced yard lined with evergreens for privacy. A three-car side-load garage adds plenty of storage. Handsmill residents enjoy a waterfront clubhouse, pool, fitness center, tennis courts, and private boat ramps on Lake Wylie, with boat and RV storage on site. Schedule your private tour today.
