About This Home
Stunning Remodeled Home with Chef's Kitchen & Huge Back and Side Yard, No HOA! NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE! Seller is highly motivated and open to creative terms, including leasing the property fully furnished with the right offer. This beautiful property is fully approved for Airbnb and short-term rentals, offering an excellent opportunity to start generating income.
Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this expansive 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home was thoughtfully designed for both comfort and entertaining. With no HOA and a generous backyard complete with a large shed, this home offers ample privacy and flexibility. Inside, enjoy a spacious open-concept layout with custom finishes and designer touches throughout. At the center is an incredible 25-foot-long chef's kitchen, featuring exotic Dolomite countertops, an oversized island with seating for seven and built-in storage, a custom wine bar with dual wine fridges, and all new high-end KitchenAid appliances. The convection range includes a steam bake setting and elegant marble backsplash, while the walk-in butler’s pantry offers additional cabinetry and shelving.
Downstairs also boasts a stylish half bath, a dining area with a full wall of built-in glass-door cabinetry, and a living room focused around a ventless gel fireplace framed by a beautiful slab of natural stone. Step out to the newly screened patio and enjoy your peaceful backyard retreat.
Upstairs, the split bedroom layout provides maximum privacy. The oversized master suite serves as an oasis with a custom wall-length closet system and a spa-like en-suite bath, including a double vanity, freestanding soaking tub, and separate stand-up shower. Two more bedrooms, a second full bath, and a dedicated laundry room complete the upper level. Every detail has been carefully selected, from solid-core craftsman-style doors and custom lighting in every room to Alexa-enabled smart switches. Flooring includes waterproof luxury vinyl wood plank upstairs for added durability.
The home is remarkably energy efficient, featuring LG mini split AC systems, a tankless water heater, and solar panels that keep average electric bills around just $58/month. Ideally located just blocks from elementary, middle, and high schools—close enough to hear the band on game nights—this home delivers convenience, community, and outstanding quality.
