About This Home
As of July 2025Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac on the central southern edge of Governors Club you'll find this beautifully crafted home. With an expansive 4400+ sq ft under foot, EVERY bedroom has its own spectacular ensuite and walk-in closet. The primary suite is located on the main floor where you can experience the soaking tub on a starry night or a generously sized walk-in shower, his and hers walk-in closets and plenty of vanity space to spread out. In the main living area, you'll enjoy abundant natural light overlooking a private, wooded backyard. The seller worked with Cederberg Kitchen & Renovations in 2022 to complete an extensive, quarter million-dollar renovation of the main floor. It's an entertainer's delight with an open floor plan, a chef's kitchen featuring a massive island housing dual-sided storage and Cambria Quartz ''Weybourne'' waterfall 'legs,' efficiently designed storage throughout with under cabinet lighting, hidden outlets, Bosch appliances including an induction cooktop under a pot filler, built-in microwave, and wall oven. The Scullery features additional Dura Supreme cabinetry, 2nd stainless-steel sink, and a wine/beverage cooler with a beautiful backsplash. Enjoy the Juliet balcony in the LR and take in the outdoors or follow the circular hallway back where it opens up to the FR, DR, and eat-in kitchen. At the end of the day, step out to the expansive granite patio for an alfresco meal or enjoy an evening by the firepit. A beautiful home you don't want to miss!
