Tucked away in the charming Mallard Lakes community, this home provides something that’s becoming harder and harder to find—character, privacy, beautiful water views, and a neighborhood that truly feels like home. Conveniently located just minutes from Lake Murray, shopping, dining, and zoned for River Bluff High School and Lakeside Middle School, you’ll love being close to everything around Lexington while still feeling tucked away from the hustle and bustle.And here’s a BIG update buyers will love—the home just underwent a WHOLE-HOUSE PLUMBING UPDATE! The polybutylene plumbing has been removed and replaced, giving the next owners one less major item to worry about!Inside, beautiful hardwood floors flow throughout the main level alongside timeless plantation shutters and a warm, inviting floor plan. The kitchen features gorgeous granite countertops, but one of the best features may be the picture window in the eat-in area overlooking the backyard, pond, and all the wildlife that comes to visit.Out back is where this home really shines. Sip your morning coffee on the deck, spend an afternoon bird watching, or end the day roasting marshmallows by the water. The scenic pond attracts birds, turtles, and plenty of other wildlife, creating a peaceful backdrop year-round. Grab the kayaks and launch right from your own backyard, or head down to the private dock, recently updated with composite decking, for an afternoon of fishing, relaxing, or simply enjoying the view.Upstairs, you’ll find luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, spacious bedrooms, and plenty of closet space.And then there’s Mallard Lakes itself. This isn’t a neighborhood of cookie-cutter homes. Each home has its own personality, mature trees line the streets, and neighbors still wave when you drive by. It’s the kind of community that feels welcoming from day one.If you’ve been searching for a home with character, peaceful water views, room to enjoy the outdoors, AND a major plumbing update already checked off the list, 505 Mallard Lakes Drive deserves a spot at the top of your list.
