From the kitchen island at 1880 Sycamore Cir, your view is one of peaceful, wooded privacy. That privacy is why this homesite commanded a premium when Willow Creeks lots were first released, and why this home truly stands apart from the others in the neighborhood. Then there is everything already done for you. Barely one year old, this Lennar Fairmont with full basement has been meticulously maintained and improved, with over $50,000 invested since closing. None of it is frivolous. Every line below is a project the next owner would want to tackle anyway: designer lighting throughout, from the dining room chandelier and the pendants over the kitchen island to the living room fixture that took scaffolding to hang; custom Roman shades and blinds; an upgraded kitchen faucet and undermount sink; a half bath reworked with a new vanity, new fixtures, and elegant wallpaper; a freshly stained deck. Then the yard, reimagined from the ground up: lush zoysia front, sides, and back, with the backyard extended nearly 30 feet to create real usable space, full ornamental iron fencing with gates opening to a cleared wooded buffer, and a lower patio expanded from a builder-grade pad to fill the entire covered area beneath the deck above, ready for outdoor dining and living. Inside, 2,932 square feet hold five bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and a 3-car garage. Below, 2,900 unfinished square feet wait for whatever life asks next: guest suite, theater, home gym. The refrigerator, washer, and dryer remain, and Lennars structural and mechanical warranties transfer, so new-home peace of mind comes with the house. Walk to the pool, clubhouse, and pickleball courts. Minutes to Butlers Crossing, Oconee Veterans Park, and Herman C. Michael Park. Top-rated Oconee County schools complete the picture. One year old. Fifty thousand dollars better. See it before someone else does.
