Welcome to this private enclave of just seven homes. Built in the late 90’s, these executive style homes have endured the test of time. Pride of ownership and community are evident on this close-knit street of well-maintained homes.
Your first impression will be of the undeniable curb appeal. The professional landscape was designed for easy maintenance and year around aesthetics. Once inside, your second impression will be a combination of tranquility, a sense of elegance and tradition, and above all a feeling of welcome. You will appreciate the drama of the tall ceilings, architectural elements, beautiful glass chandelier and slate floors in the entry. The formal living room also enjoys high ceilings and is anchored by a gas burning fireplace. You will notice that this spacious room has an intimate feel yet can accommodate seating for larger gatherings. The formal dining room is perfect for romantic meals, or hosting dinners with friends.
What we think you’ll love most about the home is the amazing kitchen, family room and large entertainment deck that overlooks the ravine. You and your friends will love the simple beauty of the territorial views and striking sunsets filtering through the trees. Words that come to mind, are park-like, Zen, peaceful and stunning. You will appreciate the wildlife activity at your back door that includes a myriad of birds such as hawks, owls and pileated woodpeckers and of course other cute critters. The view deck and seasonal changes will be a magnet throughout the year.
The family room may soon be your favorite area of the home. This is the perfect spot to enjoy the views, a cozy fire and your favorite television entertainment, all at the same time. The great room concept is one of the most desirable features in a home. It pairs perfectly with everyday living and is the ideal setting for entertaining. Many football parties, holiday gatherings, and impromptu happy hours have been hosted here. The spacious, adjoining kitchen offers plenty of counter space, storage, gas cooking, a large prep island, walk-in pantry and of course, inspiring views from every window.
Upstairs you will find a desirable layout with three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom will be a welcome retreat at the end of the day. The spacious room features a large picture window overlooking the ravine. The larger lot provides privacy to the back of the home, so no window coverings are necessary. The generous attached primary bathroom features a walk-in closet, large soaking tub, separate shower, and dual sinks. Two other good-sized bedrooms and full bath are just down the hall.
Need a work from home option? You will love the main floor home office. It features French doors to a private side deck. This is the perfect spot for a quick bit of fresh air before getting back to work. If you have four-legged office mate, Fido will also enjoy this area.
The final finishing features of the home that we think you will enjoy are the creative and artistic uses of paint throughout, the spacious laundry room, and the over-sized 2 car garage. The new homeowner will appreciate the exceptional care that this one-owner home has received over the years. Recent updates and improvements include new 40-year deck and rails, newer furnace, hot water tank, water filtration system, new contemporary front door and architectural stone.
