About This Home

As of August 2021

Just the home you have been waiting for in the highly desirable North Star Chase community. An entire stucco remediation was completed by Five Star Contractors in the fall of 2017. Hardie plank siding was installed with a 5 year transferable warranty. At the same time, new updated stone, windows, exterior lighting, shutters, upgraded 6" downspouts and landscaping were also installed. This spectacular 4/5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home is situated on a beautiful tree lined street with sidewalks making this a peaceful and family friendly setting. As you enter the grand two-story entrance foyer, it's easy to see that the original owners have taken exceptional care of this home. The spacious living room and dining room are graced with beautiful columns, crown molding and wainscoting and these rooms flow well for entertaining. The large eat-in kitchen boasts granite countertops, large center island, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, gas cooktop, under cabinet lighting, pantry and upgraded cherry cabinets with an abundance of storage. The kitchen flows into the expanded family room showcasing a beautiful floor-to-ceiling stone gas-insert fireplace with raised hearth and wood mantle. Beautiful, upgraded hardwood floors run throughout most of the main floor and stunning windows allow sunshine and natural light to flow throughout this home. The main level also features a private home office, powder room, laundry/mud room and a back staircase. Patio doors lead from the kitchen to a beautiful, oversized paver patio with built-in half walls for extra seating. The large side yard is adjacent to an expansive deeded common space which is perfect for hours of family fun! The custom Saienni front staircase leads to the spacious primary suite which includes a large sitting room or second home office as well as two large walk-in closets, and a generous master bath with dual vanities, elegant soaking tub and a separate shower with upgraded cabinets and ceramic tile throughout. Tucked down the hall, you will find 3 additional bedrooms - two bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom as well as a separate princess suite with walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom. Completing the second floor is an expansive bonus room with large built-in closets and gorgeous windows making this versatile room perfect as a 5th bedroom, large playroom or media room. The possibilities are endless! Other notable features include manicured landscaping, 3 car turned garage, 2 zone HVAC, hard wired security system, upgraded carpet & padding throughout and an unfinished full basement that was built with extra high ceilings, rough plumbing for future bathroom and extra protective barrier to prevent moisture/water so it's prepped and ready to be finished. Don't miss the opportunity to own one of the few stucco-free homes in this sought after area. Schedule your appointment today!
