About This Home
As of June 2025Tucked away near the end of Still Creek on a serene, private lot backing to Muddy Branch parkland, this exceptional home offers space, style, and versatility in the heart of the Lakelands. A true standout, the property includes a legally permitted, fully self-contained Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) above the garage—complete with its own kitchen, laundry, full bath, and a dramatic lofted bedroom and office space. Whether used as a guest suite, home office, private retreat for older children, or a lucrative rental unit, this soundproof space—with both private and interior access—adds incredible value and flexibility.
Inside the main residence, thoughtful updates and architectural details elevate every room. The inviting front porch opens to a bright, spacious layout featuring newly installed hardwood stairs and second-floor flooring. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting granite countertops, a Boos Block island, stainless steel appliances, an oversized GE Monogram wall oven with warming drawer, convection microwave, and custom backsplash. Enjoy casual meals in the sunlit breakfast nook overlooking the expansive deck and backyard oasis.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the family room features hardwood floors and a cozy stone fireplace, creating the perfect gathering space. Formal living and dining rooms, a granite-topped butler’s pantry, powder room, and a generous laundry/mudroom with storage and utility sink complete the main level. The attached garage and private driveway provide plenty of practical convenience.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with tray ceilings, double-door entry, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like en suite bathroom with soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and designer finishes. Three additional bedrooms, all with ceiling fans, share a well-appointed hall bath with ample linen storage.
The walk-out lower level is an entertainer’s dream, featuring a large recreation and game room, a full wet bar with entertainment island, a renovated full bath with sauna, a hidden workshop room, and a true home theater with a 120" projector screen and surround sound. A bonus room offers even more space for guests, a gym, or hobbies.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a peaceful escape with a large deck (gas line ready for grilling), a stone pathway, and a charming garden gate overlooking the Muddy Branch Trails with a nearby path to the trail. Whether you're hosting, relaxing, or exploring nature, this home provides endless opportunities.
Located in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods, with easy access to Lakelands’ shops, restaurants, and community amenities, this one-of-a-kind property is the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience.
