Surrounded by Nature, Backs to Protected Conservatory, Updates Galore, and Style beyond the average. Tucked within the naturally preserved setting of The Ponds, this thoughtfully upgraded home was built just two years ago and meticulously maintained by a contractor owner, the home blends the confidence of new construction with a level of upgrades and craftsmanship that most buyers simply do not expect. At the heart of the home, the kitchen has been thoughtfully elevated with custom touches including a shiplapped island, custom tile backsplash, upgraded hardware, under-cabinet lighting, and a deep single-bowl gourmet sink. A Bosch refrigerator may convey, adding to the value of an already well-appointed space.The first floor flows easily from the formal dining room into the kitchen and great room, creating a central gathering space that feels both open and welcoming. True engineered HARDWOOD floors run through the main living areas, offering the warmth, durability, and quality that only real hardwood provide.
The primary bedroom retreat is privately positioned on the main floor and includes an upgraded bathroom with a linen closet and a spacious walk-in closet. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four additional bedrooms, a custom-built laundry room complete with washer and dryer, and a bright loft that offers exceptional flexibility. Whether used for working from home, learning space, media room, or a quiet retreat away from the main living areas, the loft provides options that adapt as life changes.
Throughout the home, thoughtful upgrades include Bali all-wood blinds, Hunter ceiling fans are installed in every upstairs bedroom, and Deako rocker-style switches--many with dimmers and timers--bring a modern, user-friendly feel to daily living. Additional features include a custom stair runner, updated half bath, electric garage door openers, a fireplace fan to circulate warmth in cooler months, and an ADT security system with equipment that conveys.
Storage is abundant with generous walk-in closets, a large under-stair storage area, and attic space with sheathing already installed--perfect for keeping seasonal items organized and out of sight.
Step outside and the property truly begins to show its character. A screened rear porch provide peaceful places to start the morning or wind down at the end of the day. The backyard has been newly cleared, leveled with added soil, and freshly sodded, creating a deep and private outdoor space ready for gardening, play, entertaining, or even the addition of a future pool if desired. It is 3x larger than the average neighborhood lot. Mature trees frame the setting and offer the kind of natural privacy that is becoming increasingly rare. It backs to the PROTECTED CONSERVATION land.
