<p><div id="attachment_3038" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444417-Blue-Cedar-Ln-1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3038" title="[photo 1444417] Blue Cedar Ln-1" src="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444417-Blue-Cedar-Ln-1-300x225.jpg" alt="Home from Front" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Home from Front</p></div>Looking for the perfect right-sized home?  11215 Blue Cedar Lane in Ballantyne Meadows fits the bill!  I can see a myriad of homeowners in this particular home… first time home buyer to empty-nester- or anywhere in between.  Read on to find out why.</p>
<p> 11215 Blue Cedar Lane offers the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms at approximately 1550 square feet</li>
<li>Good proportions with the right amount of space for today’s living- first floor includes open floorplan of living room, breakfast area, and kitchen in addition to 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom</li>
<li>Flexible floorplan that would allow you to live either on the first floor or on the second floor- with a full bathroom on both floors, you decide!</li>
<li>Corner lot with a common area across the street</li>
<li>A neighborhood with 75 homes, clustered with Dilworth-style bungalow homes</li>
</ul>
<p><div id="attachment_3040" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444419-Blue-Cedar-Ln-2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3040" title="[photo 1444419] Blue Cedar Ln-2" src="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444419-Blue-Cedar-Ln-2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Front Porch</p></div>I noticed the front porch right away—it extends across the entire width of the home, allowing plenty of covered space for rocking chairs or a swing.  A cup of coffee on this porch in the morning or a glass of wine after a busy day would be perfect out here.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_3039" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444404-Blue-Cedar-Ln-7.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3039" title="[photo 1444404] Blue Cedar Ln-7" src="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444404-Blue-Cedar-Ln-7-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Open Kitchen</p></div>Upon entering the home, I immediately am drawn to the open floorplan.  I can see into the breakfast room and kitchen from the living room—ideal for keeping an eye on young children perhaps, or just for entertaining larger groups.  With this open floorplan comes oodles of light from the windows—no floor to ceiling walls to block that sunlight.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_3043" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444412-Blue-Cedar-Ln-4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3043" title="[photo 1444412] Blue Cedar Ln-4" src="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444412-Blue-Cedar-Ln-4-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Fireplace, Open Floorplan</p></div>I also take note of the built-ins in both the living room and breakfast room- great updates that really work.  And a fireplace with gas logs makes for quick cozy fires.  I like the updated Pergo flooring in the breakfast room and kitchen- neutral and easy to clean.</p>
<p> The Corian kitchen countertops are a beautiful grey which accent the maple cabinets perfectly.  And speaking of cabinets- I love that the lower kitchen shelving have that cool roll-out feature so that getting those items in the back is easy.   The Travertine backsplash was a nice splurge as well!</p>
<p><div id="attachment_3041" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444414-Blue-Cedar-Ln-16.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3041" title="[photo 1444414] Blue Cedar Ln-16" src="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444414-Blue-Cedar-Ln-16-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Backyard</p></div>Need to let the dog out?  Well, no problem here- 11215 Blue Cedar Lane has a fenced backyard with enough grass for four-legged family members.  And the detached 2 car garage is just steps away.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_3042" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444407-Blue-Cedar-Ln-10.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3042" title="[photo 1444407] Blue Cedar Ln-10" src="http://charlottesrealestateblog.com/files/2012/03/photo-1444407-Blue-Cedar-Ln-10-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bedroom</p></div>2 of the bedrooms are tucked on the left-side of the home with a full bathroom in between.  I can see either of these rooms used in a variety of ways- bedroom or study or playroom.  And the bathroom has been updated with new lighting and sink faucet- nice to not have to do this when you move in!</p>
<p> Craving privacy from the hubbub downstairs?  Well, just walk up the stairway off of the kitchen to the generous master suite.  You’ll really notice the privacy up here with your bedroom, bathroom, walk-in closet, sitting room/study and extra attic storage.   Again, the bathroom lighting and faucets have moved up from “builder grade” to a step above.</p>
<p> Come visit 11215 Blue Cedar Lane- I’d love to show it to you.  Call me at 704.293.8842 for a showing!</p>
