Serendipity...an unexpected yet welcome surprise. Finding 708 Nutmeg will make your house-hunting day the best ever! You'll be impressed by the way this custom-built brick and vinyl home blends into the natural surroundings of the lushly wooded lot. The open floorplan deftly combines traditional features with contemporary comfort. The interior offers impressive millwork (deep crown and base moldings, window casings)and other natural elements like rich maple cabinetry, polished granite counters, a brick-faced fireplace, stained concrete floors, and soft natural paint colors. The result is handsome and very livable. 9' ceilings along with lots of windows allow natural light into the home throughout the entire day. The spacious entry opens into the ''keeping room'' (living, kitchen, and dining areas combined) where the traditional brick-faced fireplace, topped with a granite mantle, anchors one end of this open living space. At the other end of the keeping room is the well-appointed kitchen featuring custom-crafted natural maple cabinetry, granite counters and eating bar, stainless appliances, and a large pantry. The light-filled dining area looks out over the trees and opens up to the deck, the grilling and outdoor party area. And off to the other side of the kitchen, you'll find the home office and laundry room. The roomy master bedroom includes a large walk-in closet and a restful sitting area. A soaking tub and a separate shower await you in the master bath. The middle bedroom features double closets, and the 3rd bedroom is almost as spacious as the master. Other amenities you will want: a conveniently located powder room and several hall storage closets. And for a bonus...765 SF of finished, heated and cooled living space upstairs. Accessed from an outside staircase, this area could be your home office, finished attic storage, game room, or would you call it a ''man cave''? Practical facts: 2x6 exterior wall construction, spray foam insulation in the roof and gable ends; a 3 ton, 15 SEER heatpump; vinyl Low E Jeld-Wen windows; solid core interior doors; & mini-blinds in some exterior doors. The house is prewired for a sound system--so bring your speakers and media equipment.
