About This Home

As of April 2025

Stunning Model-Perfect Home in The Estates at West Shore Welcome to a home that truly shows like a model, seamlessly blending modern luxury with timeless elegance. Every detail has been carefully curated to offer both beauty and function, making this an exceptional opportunity for discerning buyers who appreciate quality craftsmanship and sophisticated design. From the moment you step inside, you’ll be captivated by the inviting ambiance created by neutral paint colors, crown molding, and solid hardwood floors that flow throughout the main and second levels. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring top-tier GE Café APPLIANCES, custom white SOFT CLOSE shaker cabinets, and a rich cherry wood island with FULL EXTENSION pull-outs. The LUXURY QUARTZ countertops, with soft steel gray and beige veining, are perfectly complemented by a classic neutral backsplash, creating a timeless yet modern aesthetic. Storage is abundant throughout this home, with thoughtfully designed built-ins, including a convenient MUDROOM. The spacious primary suite offers a stunning ACCENT WALL, and a spa-like bathroom designed for ultimate relaxation. Here, a FREESTANDING SOAK-IN TUB, a glass-enclosed shower with DUAL SHOWERHEADS, A SHOWER BENCH, and HEATED FLOORS transform daily routines into a luxurious experience. The secondary bathroom is equally stylish, featuring dual sinks and a sleek glass-enclosed tub and shower combination. Entertainment is effortless with multiple spaces designed for comfort and enjoyment. Cozy up by the gas fireplace in the family room on cool evenings or retreat to the built-in media unit, complete with a 50” TV, in the man cave or lady’s den. A separate kids’ zone and game area, complete with a FULL BATH & WALK OUT to the backyard, provides the perfect retreat for play and relaxation. Outside, the beauty of this home extends to an expansive 20’ x 20’ Pennsylvania slate patio, with walkways and slate retaining walls that create a striking yet functional outdoor space. Mature trees provide year-round color and interest, while the IRRIGATION SYSTEM ensures the front, back, and side lawns remain lush and vibrant. Low-maintenance River rock replaces traditional mulch, offering both beauty and convenience. The backyard is fully enclosed by a six-foot white vinyl fence, providing privacy and security, with a discreetly placed fenced area for trash and recycling bins. For year-round comfort and efficiency, the home features TWO HVAC SYSTEMS (installed in 2019), with whole-house humidifiers, a new water heater, upgraded insulated garage doors, and a WHOLE HOUSE GENERATOR, ensuring peace of mind during inclement weather. Nestled in the highly desirable Estates at West Shore, this Anderson Homes community offers the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. Enjoy the ability to walk to shopping areas, restaurants, the post office, churches, a library, a swim club, medical facilities, and Lake Como, and metro and major cities in around 1.5 hours away. This home is a rare gem, offering impeccable taste, thoughtful upgrades, and a prime location, with the owners investing over $80K in upgrades and improvements, most of which were done recently. Don’t miss your chance to make it yours—schedule your private tour today! *Photos showing all seasons are available.
