Every so often a home comes on the market with thoughtful touches, distinctive designs and move-in ready features that make it more than just another house in another subdivision. This is that home. And thanks to a meticulous owner, it’s as impressive as the grand oak that graces its yard. Although built in 1997, it has kept up with the times – and technology. A 2013 kitchen makeover created culinary art with 23+ ft. of granite, dark hardwood cabinetry complemented by stainless steel appliances, and a rustic red, glass-front wood cabinet. The crowning feature? A hand-crafted, herringbone cedar ceiling. Equally eye-catching is the family room and its nearly 20 ft. ceiling, skylights and view of the 2nd floor balcony. But the real attention getter is the urban-chic brick wall. There’s also a formal living/dining area, and even a man cave that can also be used as a garage! In 2010 the master bath was remodeled with luxurious intent, using travertine marble, granite, dual high-style sinks, designer lighting and a Jacuzzi® toilet. In 2008 the “builder-grade” staircase was redesigned into a solid oak and wrought iron masterpiece leading to 3/4” oak floors on the 2nd level hallway and bonus room. Add to all this a new high-efficiency HVAC system in 2009, new roof in 2010, new water heater in 2016, plus fresh paint and new DuPont Stainmaster® carpet in the bedrooms – and you have the perfect home to start 2017.
