There's a reason this is one of the most popular floor plans in Stratford Hall. With 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 3,635 square feet, this beautifully maintained Wakefield home offers plenty of space with a floor plan that just makes sense. A bedroom and full bath on the main floor provide great flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or a home office, while hardwood floors, a fireplace and built-ins add warmth and character to the main living areas. Upstairs, you'll find plenty of room to spread out, including a spacious bonus room. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with a fresh backsplash, and throughout the home it's easy to see how well the owners have cared for it. But the backyard may be the surprise favorite. Fully fenced, beautifully landscaped and wonderfully private, it feels like its own little retreat. Step out onto the deck for morning coffee, dinner outside or some seriously impressive bird watching. An irrigation system helps keep everything looking its best. The location is another standout. Tucked into Stratford Hall, you're within walking distance of schools, the YMCA, shopping, dining and entertainment, while still enjoying the established neighborhood feel and lifestyle that make Wakefield so popular. For those looking for even more, The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation offers a championship golf course, tennis and pickleball, pools, fitness facilities, social events, and both casual and fine dining. Membership is optional and is not included with home ownership. Five bedrooms. Four full baths. A main-floor bedroom and bath. Bonus room. Gorgeous private yard. Walkability. Golf community living. And one of the best pockets of Wakefield. This one checks a lot of boxes.
