Nestled at the quiet end of a private cul-de-sac in an intimate community of fewer than 40 homes, this meticulously maintained, one-owner residence offers the perfect blend of sophisticated design and the warmth of home. Built in 2013, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom gem is a rare find for families seeking both space to grow and a community to belong to. Step through the front door into a soaring two-story foyer, where a grand staircase and gleaming hardwoods set an elevated tone. To your left, find a versatile home office or formal sitting room behind elegant glass-paned French doors, while the formal dining room features a striking double-trey ceiling and classic wainscoting, ready for holiday hosting. The rear of the home opens into an expansive, sun-drenched "heart" where the kitchen and family room flow seamlessly together. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with rich cabinetry, sleek granite countertops, and a massive island with breakfast bar seating. Note the clever built-in desk nook that's perfect for a homework station or home management hub. The great room is anchored by a stacked-stone fireplace and framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, the family room is crowned with dramatic coffered ceilings, creating a space that feels both airy and incredibly cozy. A true sanctuary, the oversized primary bedroom offers a private sitting area and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. With five spacious bedrooms, there is ample room for a growing family, guest quarters, or a dedicated media room. The living space extends outside to a fully fenced backyard, offering a level, lush lawn where children and pets can play safely. Whether you're hosting a summer BBQ or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the privacy of this cul-de-sac lot is unmatched.
