What the Sellers have to Say:

The location and area for the home is unbelievable. Highway 421 is right off the neighborhood entrance and the intersection of Peacehaven Road is a major thoroughfare for both Winston Salem and Clemmons. I-40 is accessible within minutes as well.

There are several grocery stores, drugs stores and churches within a few minutes drive. In fact, during a winter snow storm, my husband and I were able to walk to the grocery store without any problem. 

We loved the Ivy Stone neighborhood and have very fond memories of our time there. It is a very family friendly neighborhood. There is a wonderful playground for children located almost directly across the stress from the home. We spent many an evening there socializing and letting the children play. We also have great memories of the times spent in our home with friends,family Christmas gatherings, playdates, and seasonal celebrations such as Thanksgiving, Easter, Halloween, New Year's and 4th of July to name a few.

The school district for the neighborhood is one of the best in Forsyth County. Or, if you prefer private schools, there are several in close proximity to Ivystone. 

The homeowner's association and board does a great job in keeping the homes in compliance with the homeowner regulations. Thus, yards are maintained and the streets and common areas are enhanced. There has been mention of construction of a soccer field, tennis courts and walking path for the neighborhood as well. And, the monthly dues are extremely reasonable at $22/month.

There are many, many reasons as to why 397 Ivy Park Lane should be your next home. It has been extremely well taken care of and it has upgraded interiors such as hardwood flooring, berber carpet, formica countertops, trey ceiling in the master bedroom, crown molding and chair railing, brushed nickel light fixtures, installed security system, landscape lighting, and the list goes on and on. 

But beyond the tangible benefits of the home are the family friendly neighborhood, convenient locations, superior schools, and overall satisfactions of owning a home that has been designed and maintained by a family who invested their lives into making a house into a home.

What the Sellers have to Say: 

The things I love about Lewisville are the 2 parks in walking distance of our house. Lewisville Square is always having events such as movie nights in the summer, Beach Blast & 4th of July Celebration.  Country living while being close to the city of Winston-Salem. Sheriffs department, and fire department are located across from the Square.

Our neighborhood is great for watching the largest fireworks display on July 4th from our front yard. We are also across the street from Joanie Moser Memorial Park, and the new Jack Warren Park. These parks offer tennis, basketball, picnicking, trails, and playgrounds for kids. You can drive to the square and watch plays, jog, on sidewalks, or just enjoy the quiet time in Lewisville. 

We love to eat at Shiki Japanese Restaurant, Monte De Rey, Zaxbys, J Butlers, and Old Nicks Pub, if you enjoy outdoor dining, and social gatherings. We also have many fast food restaurants close by when you cross the 421 interstate going into Clemmons. 

Grocery stores are plentiful in Lewisville; We have Lowes foods in Lewisville,  2 Food Lion stores close by and the new Walmart on Meadowlark Drive has just opened. Dollar General is also located in River Ridge shopping center.

Being a part of Lewisville is one reason we moved here. We are close to 421 Interstate, and are only 10 minutes from downtown Winston-Salem. I also like the fact of only one stop light in the town of Lewisville. We have great neighbors.

 The Lewisville area is one of the best locations that is close to Winston-Salem, It has a small town atmosphere with all the things one could want close by. We just enjoy the town, and county taxes are also a plus. I can't think of any other area more enjoyable to live.

A few of the schools in Lewisville, and surrounding Areas are West Forsyth High School, Reagan High School that is just a few years old. There is also Lewisville Elementary just a few steps up the Road. There is Meadowlark Middle School. If you want private there is Forsyth Country Day, and Calvary Baptist School.

We have numerous Golf Courses close to Lewisville, and surrounding areas. There is a driving range close by, and fitness centers close. There is also the West Forsyth YMCA in Clemmons.

Our utility costs range lower in the summer time, and higher in the winter. Our average will probably be 125.00 if averaged over the year. Duke power is the power company. The water bill is from the City of Winston-Salem

What the Seller's have to Say: 


I cannot think of anything a person could not need, want or enjoy that's not available in Winston-
Salem, all with small town charm. 

Our neighborhood is great for taking walks, and every one here is very friendly. When I initially purchased the property the one thing I was drawn to was the privacy. Being backed up to the woods, I enjoy complete privacy. 

There are plenty of grocery stores and shopping close by such as; Food Lion, Lowes Foods, Wal-Mart & Costco. There are also an abundance of restaurants to choose from in this area. Oso's on Jonestown Rd. is one of my favorites! Everything and anything you could want is in close proximity. 

Utility costs in this home are low to average. Our highest Duke Energy bill ever was $147, and that was during the hottest month of the summer with the A/C running constantly. During that same month we had a $23 charge from Piedmont Natural Gas. With Gas cooking & hot water I save a lot of money!

What the Sellers have to Say: 
Situated between Charlotte and Greensboro, Clemmons has everything an individual, couple or family would need. It has a small town feel yet is abounding with amenities including shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment. 

Our neighborhood is great because it's quiet, biker friendly, has a nearby community pool & is very friendly. We have a neighborhood annual Easter egg hunt, canned food drive, and a FaceBook page so that we can stay in touch with one another & look out for our neighbors if they have a need.

We love to eat at the local Mexican restaurants, Villa Grille across from the awesome Tanglewood park, & the Milner brothers restaurant "Brothers." There really is a restaurant for every price point in Clemmons. Grocery stores nearby include Harris Teeter, Lowe's Foods & Food Lion. All carry organic products as well as their name brand discounted items. 

When we bought this home, we were drawn to the traditional brick exterior, lovely sun room, professionally landscaped yard, the 9 foot ceilings, beautiful brick fireplaces, and open kitchen that is truly the heart of this home.  The best thing about this home is it's location. It is right next door to the amazing Tanglewood Park, down the road a bit from farmland, but close enough to the Interstate and downtown Winston-Salem, that we get the "best of both worlds." We have enjoyed horseback riding, the fireworks at Tanglewood Park, running, biking, visiting nearby farms during strawberry & apple picking seasons, as well as walking the neighborhood. 

We like the Clemmons area because the schools are highly rated, it is nearby to the interstate (less than 10 minute drive), has a very low crime rate, & still retains a "village" feel. We have enjoyed being out of the hustle & bustle of the city but only minutes from the abundant amenities downtown Winston-Salem offers. 

Our utility costs are better than we have experienced in other homes. Our utilities include Duke Power, Piedmont Gas, Waste Management & Winston-Salem Water & Sewer. Our average power bill is under $150/month in the heat of summer & middle of winter! Our average gas bill is less than $30/month. And, our average city water bill is less than $150/month.

What the Seller's have to Say

The things I love about Clemmons are that it is a small quiet town, but still with in close proximity to Winston-Salem. It offers the best of both worlds giving us close access to everyday needs, but yet close enough to "big city" living to enjoy everything that Winston-Salem offers. 

We love to eat at 2520 Tavern (2.3 mi), Brother's (4.2 mi), or A Time to Eat (2.6 mi). These three restaurants located nearby on Lewisville/Clemmons Rd are excellent choices very close to our house that offer just about anything that one would want. Grocery stores are plentiful and very convenient. My favorites are Food Lion (3.1 mi) for basic, everyday groceries and Harris Teeter (2.7 mi) when I want to get better meat and vegetables. The Northwest YMCA ( 4.6 mi) is extremely convenient to our location and offers a multitude of activities for people of all ages. 

We liked the location of this house close to the end of a dead-end street. It offers quiet living with very little traffic to deal with, while still very convenient to stores, restaurants, etc.

The Winston-Salem / Triad is a great place to live. The schools in WS/Forsyth are very good, especially in the Clemmons area. Our house in Clemmons West is extremely close to Tanglewood Park and all that Tanglewood offers. From golf to concerts, plays, horseback riding, etc., there's plenty to do and enjoy!

We love living in the Triad area with all it has to offer, but living here has also allowed us to enjoy everything places like Charlotte, Boone, and Raleigh-Durham have to offer. From the mountains and white-water rafting to world-class sporting and music events in the big city, this part of the state has something for everyone. 

A few other things I can mention is our close proximity to Wake Forest University and all the a school of that stature can offer. From Arts to Sports, we have thoroughly enjoyed the impact Wake has on the community.

Our utilities costs are better than we have experienced in other houses and towns. The utilities include Duke Energy for electricity, Piedmont Natural Gas for gas hot water heater, and City of Winston-Salem for Water/Sewer and Trash/Recycling pickup. Our average cost for these utilities have been $261 per month.

What the Sellers have to Say: 

What I love most about this town is the friendly people, the kind that of folks you can strike up friendly conversation with as you're putting away groceries.

Our neighborhood has a similar feel, our neighbors are all very friendly and wave to one another. We enjoy taking walks with our dogs and frequently enjoy walking to picnic areas nearby or just BBQ'ing in our back yard. It's a wonderful feeling to know children can ride bikes without having to fear traffic or comprise their safety.

We were transferred here and have loved it! We are close to the mountains and enjoy hiking and exploring. The Lexington BBQ festival is always a fun experience! There are so many options and so much to do in this centrally located area.

We love the location of our home, everything you could want is in close proximity. There are many places to eat, one of our favorites is Zoe's Southern Grill. They have wonderful fish, lasagna, and their carrot cake is amazing! There are also several pizza's close by that we enjoy eating at, such as Hungry Howie's Pizza.

There are several Grocery Stores nearby to choose from! Food Lion, Lowes Foods, Wal-Mart and wonderful meat market right up the street!

The schools in Davidson County are by far, the best around. Both the educators and participation of the parents help keep schools at top notch levels. Football Friday Nights with the N. Davidson Knights is big fun!

Energy costs with Energy United has been better than expected, our home must have great insulation. With several people in our home it was nice to know we were never going to receive a "shocking" bill from the energy company. Our home seems to perform very efficently which helps to keep costs down.
