This attractive and spacious end-unit villa with approximately 4,130 finished square feet boasts an open floor plan that was designed with all the upgrades and features you would ever want. Upon entering this home, you will immediately notice the dramatic 2-story ceiling, the many windows with lots of natural light, hardwood floors that flow through the majority of the main level and the neutral paint in every room. It all says “Welcome Home.”

The living room features a cozy gas fireplace, wood flooring, and access to a large deck on which to enjoy your morning coffee or to relax at the end of the day – this deck backs to a forest conservation area.

The well-designed, convenient kitchen features custom 42” maple cabinets, 2 year old stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and ceramic tile backsplash. Just off the kitchen is access to the 2-car garage. Also, on the main level is a laundry room with new washer and dryer as well as plenty of cabinets to keep laundry supplies out of sight or for additional storage.

The main level owner’s suite features 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, walk-in closet and access to the deck. The owners’ bathroom provides a double-bowl vanity and a Safe-Step jetted tub that allows you to walk into the tub for a safe and relaxing bath experience.

The upper level provides a second master bedroom or perfect guest suite with French doors to a private balcony. This bedroom has a private bath with a shower and Jacuzzi tub. Additionally, there is another bedroom and full bath that is perfect for visiting family or friends. Also on the upper level is a loft overlooking the living room – it is ideal as an upper-level family room or office for those who work from home. The many windows make this room light and cheery.

Providing even more space is the finished lower level which has a 4th bedroom, another bath and 2 additional rooms: a media room in which the builder installed a home theater pre-wire package and a rec room or game room with a slider to the outdoors where there are views of mature trees. Also on this level is a finished storage room.
