This quietly striking better than new beauty in Blackstone Trails offers impressive upgrades inside and out! Quality 2022 Franke build offers upgraded modern flair fixtures, rich paint selections, custom wood moldings and trim plus tasteful design touches throughout. Three modern and bright finished levels of living include 5 spacious bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3-Car Garage plus a finished lower level with daylight windows offering airy flow for entertaining, storage and sleep space. Dramatic deep charcoal siding and windows contrast the weathered stone as you pass through the expansive covered front porch and into the inviting foyer, where you'll be greeted by the soft glow of an edison bulb pendant softly illuminating the metallic gold ceiling and custom moldings. Pass through the frosted french doors into the main level office space which has just received a fresh coat of cozy caramel paint, a serene space for ultimate privacy and productivity! Follow the blonde engineered hardwoods into the open concept family room with custom built-ins, cans, and cozy gas fireplace with subway tile surround. A wall of south-facing windows washes the space in natural light and invites you to linger longer in the eat-in kitchen or pass through the glass slider beckoning you to enjoy the raised deck for easy entertaining. Warm and inviting kitchen features pearl white cabinets with crown, quartz counters, subway tile backsplash and sharp stainless appliance suite including side-by-side refrigerator, undermount sink, dishwasher and low-profile gas range with range hood. Island offers additional seating and prep space plus nearby devoted pantry and drop-zone for added convenience. The open split staircase invites you to explore the light and bright second story offering vaulted primary suite with walk-in closet and private ensuite featuring dramatic hex tile, double sink vanity and oversized walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms offer spacious closets with built-in shelving and another impressive full bathroom featuring another double sink vanity and separate tub/shower combo just great for guests. Convenient upper level laundry room features striking moroccan style tile and tons of storage potential. The perfect position of this home on a sloped lot affords the lowest level an airy main level feel with full-sized daylight windows flooding the second family room with natural light. Nearby full bathroom and 5th bedroom with impressive closet space offers privacy and comfort for extended stay guests and in-laws to enjoy. Well-planned exterior improvements include extensive landscaping and rock surrounding the home, plus fully fenced lot and impressive multi-level entertaining space including raised deck and poured lower patio with covered pergola for year-round enjoyment, just the right fit for a hot tub (negotiable) or fire pit! Utility room houses the HVAC system, radon mitigation system, sump pump, gas water heater and impressive Express Whole-Home Water Filtration System (owned) plus additional bonus space to add a 6th bedroom, workshop or fitness area if desired. Bus service to sought after Unit 5 Schools and easy access to Veterans Parkway, Interstate 55/74 make location ideal. If you have been seeking sophisticated style beautifully blended with size and space, this is the one!
