228 Gatefield Drive

Conveniently located in the Midtown neighborhood of Georgetowne, outside the city limits, this home gives you quick and ready access to everything you need, including The Pointe at Barclay with movies and restaurants, shopping, the new Harris Teeter complex, Novant Health Medical Center, and doctors' offices. All the work has been done for you in this tastefully-updated all brick traditional custom-built home, with manicured landscaping and an impressive portico leading through the newly-installed factory-painted front door with beautiful leaded glass panels. Inside you are met with a spacious entryway featuring high ceilings, wainscoting, and exquisite crown molding. The designer-inspired coastal color palette and open dining room adjacent to the entryway, as well as the large Great Room with volume-ceiling and natural gas ignitor for the cozy wood burning fireplace, gives off a more casual living vibe than one might expect. As you enter the large kitchen/breakfast/sitting area (currently used as a bar but could be used as a sitting area or kid's play area off the kitchen), you will see the custom wood cabinets have been updated with knobs and pulls and painted by a local designer to match the exquisite granite countertop. A glass tile backsplash pulls it all together. With numerous cabinets and a walk-in pantry, storage is plentiful. Right off the kitchen is the large screened in porch with skylights leading out to a fenced-in paver patio with firepit and lots of space for playing, planting or just relaxing. The storage shed has electricity and there is a natural gas Napoleon grill with power to complete your outdoor experience. Back inside, there is beautiful oak hardwood flooring throughout the entire lower living space.
