Located on over ¾ acre in the desirable Summer Lea community by Shaffer Homes, this beautiful Phoenix model was built in 2014 and offers an appealingly modern split-level layout. Thanks to the home’s staggered multi-level design, this is one of the builder’s most unique and popular floorplans allowing for an appealing blend of open-concept living and clearly defined spaces that is ideal for families that want to enjoy the benefits of both private, dedicated rooms and shared communal areas. As the community’s former model home, this dwelling boasts custom features and expansions that bring the home’s interior living space to over 2,800 square feet. With its charming covered front porch accented with tapered columns and stone accents to create a distinctively craftsman-style look, this home exudes inviting curb appeal. As you enter into the foyer, you are greeted by the expansive formal dining room. Embellished with wide-plank flooring, custom trim-work and shadowboxing details, this is the perfect space to entertain your guests on those special occasions. The foyer leads you into the open-concept living space that includes the living room with soaring vaulted ceilings, the eat-in kitchen with 42” birch cabinets, granite countertops, and peninsula island, and the sunroom extension which can serve as additional dining space or a cozy sitting area. A spacious laundry room with access to the attached 2-car garage completes the main level. Small flights of stairs connect the main (entry) level to the lower-level family rec room and the upper-level sleeping quarters. A short walk up from the main living space, the private master bedroom is totally secluded on its own level and features a large walk in closet and en suite, 5-piece bath. Stacked above the master suite, the home’s top level contains three secondary bedrooms, a full hall bathroom, and a balcony overlook that provides a great view of the main living space below. Steps down from the entry-level’s main living space, is the above-grade finished lower level. Designed with relaxation and casual entertainment in mind, this comfortable and flexible space includes a convenient half bath, and makes a wonderful setup for a family rec room, playroom, media center, home theater, gym or game room. Full-sized windows allow natural light to shine into the lower level which is accented with stylish wainscoting-clad walls while a doorway to another short flight of stairs provides access into the unfinished basement level that can serve as storage space or may be finished off for even MORE living square footage. Outside, vinyl privacy fencing encloses a portion of this large, corner lot that extends well into wooded buffer behind the home. Enjoy crisp, fall mornings and warm summer barbeques on the deck overlooking the beautiful backyard. With so much to offer plus so many wonderful added benefits including a prime location within easy walking distance to the neighborhood elementary school and close proximity to numerous shopping, dining, and entertainment venues, this home could be the one for you.
