About This Property

For buyers who adore the timeless appeal of a traditional home in a long established neighborhood with mature trees, yet prefer the level of confidence and comfort that comes with new construction, this Western Section beauty is a must-see! The shingled exterior is both charming and maintenance-free with double front doors and Andersen windows shedding lots of light across the interior's white oak floors. Crown molding and

complementary millwork are extensive throughout, giving dimension to pristine white walls. While the formal rooms are in keeping with a traditional floor plan, the more casual areas are open and free-flowing. Quartz countertops and a pop of blue on the island are a cheerful combo in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with double sinks and a wine bar right around the corner. A first floor guest suite and loads of mudroom storage are further assets that support the demands of modern living. The basement comes fully finished with a gym, rec space, media area and full bath, leaving no future projects to ponder. A two-story window brightens the stairs up to a wide hallway introducing a bedroom served by a gray and white hall bath and 2 more suites. The primary is simply stunning with a cathedral ceiling, a sitting room and a walk-in closet

customized just for you. A rectangular soaking tub is a modern touch in the bath, clad in beautifully veined porcelain tile. Just down the hall, you'll find a big laundry and a dormered bonus room, perfect for play time. To make this brand new home a truly turn-key experience, even the garage is finished and a Trex deck looks over the delightfully private backyard. Please note, some photos are virtually staged.
