Description

Welcome to 227 Lantern Lane, a beautifully maintained home set on a desirable corner lot in the established community of Heritage Creek in Milton. Thoughtful design, inviting curb appeal, and quality finishes come together to create a home that is both comfortable and functional. From the moment you arrive, the property stands out with its covered front porch, board and batten shutters accented by a charming window box, and beautifully landscaped grounds. A fenced side yard offers privacy and flexibility, while the paver patio with raised seating walls creates an ideal outdoor setting for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, a welcoming foyer with a tray ceiling sets the tone, flanked by a formal dining room and a conveniently located powder bath. The gourmet kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring quartz countertops, a wood-accent backsplash, soft-close 42-inch cabinetry with display cabinets and under-cabinet lighting, and an island with pendant lighting and additional storage. The adjacent living room is anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The main-level primary suite offers ease and comfort, complete with a tray ceiling, a custom closet system in the walk-in closet, and a well-appointed ensuite bath with dual sink vanities and a frameless glass shower. The laundry room is also located on this level and provides direct access to the garage, adding to the home’s thoughtful layout. Upstairs, is a loft area, two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath provide plenty of space for guests or family, along with access to attic space. Additional highlights include plantation shutters throughout, a tankless hot water heater, a backup generator for peace of mind, a security system, and an epoxy-coated garage floor.
