5335 Otter Creek Run

Description

FROM THE OWNER: When we first walked into this home thirteen years ago, we felt something settle inside us - a quiet sense of peace that told us we had found our place. After 27 years across three continents, six countries, and nine cities, this became the longest we ever stayed anywhere, which says a lot about how special this home has been to us. We especially loved the eat-in kitchen and the adjoining living and dining areas where so much of our life unfolded - cooking together, sharing meals, and talking long after dinner while looking out over the trees. The quiet cul-de-sac, mature trees, and the peaceful rhythm of the neighborhood made it easy to slow down and truly feel at home. Over the years we also enjoyed neighborhood gatherings like pumpkin carving contests, summer barbecues, and pool parties that made it easy to feel connected to neighbors. As we prepare for our next chapter and look forward to traveling again, leaving this home is bittersweet, and we hope it brings the same calm and happiness to its next owners. FROM THE LISTING AGENT: Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the established Otter Creek community, this well-maintained home offers mature trees, privacy, and convenient access to some of Forsyth County's best outdoor recreation. The main level features hardwood floors, a separate dining room with bay window, and a family room that flows naturally into the kitchen and breakfast area. The kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and direct access to the back deck overlooking a wooded yard. Upstairs, the primary suite features a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower, while a partially finished basement provides storage today and future flexibility. Recent improvements include fresh exterior paint, newly painted deck, new hot water heater, new gutters with leaf guards, whole-home water filtration system, and active termite protection with annual inspections. The HVAC systems are supported by a transferable lifetime maintenance contract with twice-yearly service, and a negotiable home warranty offers additional confidence for buyers.
