This beautiful stone and stucco home which was expertly built in 2000 has been freshly updated with refinished wood floors, new master bath, new interior lighting, fresh paint and carpet. The two-story foyer with stone floor and custom-milled staircase provides a warm welcome to the dining and living rooms with beautiful architectural details including bay window, two-piece crown moldings and casings, and columns. The spacious kitchen features Neff Cabinetry, Edgar Berebi pulls/knobs, a large island, Quartzite countertops with double thick island slab, polished nickel lanterns, glass subway tile backsplash, and a sunny breakfast area with French doors to patio. The kitchen is also open to the family room with stone fireplace and wet bar. The first floor office enjoys handsome mahogany paneling, a wall of built-ins, and is open to a private patio. The elegant master bedroom enjoys a cathedral ceiling and a fireplace flanked by Juliet balconies. The new marble master bath features a double vanity with quarzite counter, beautiful soaking tub, walk-in shower, and separate WC. One family bedroom enjoys its own en suite bath with gray granite tile and two closets. Bedroom three features two window seats, plantation shutters, and shares a Jack and Jill bath. The fourth bedroom connects to a large bonus room with two additional closets. The finished lower level provides an exercise room, bar area with two fridges, and a home theater area with wood burning fireplace and windows. The lower level powder room features an onyx sink. The beautifully landscaped property can be enjoyed from the paver patio with knee wall and fire pit. You will also find high ceilings, interesting architectural details, and a three car attached garage. The neighborhood opens onto the Evertt Farm Nature Preserve which is a 35-acre preserve and former tree nursery, abandoned in the late 1950s and left undisturbed for many years. Visitors will find unusual trees scattered throughout the area such as catalpa and sycamore, as well as a grove of eighty-year-old pine and spruce trees. The eastern third of the site is also a high-quality woodland and wet prairie, apparently never plowed or disturbed by the various owners. Enjoy the serenity of the walking the trails. This area has attracted many migratory and nesting birds of our region, so you may find a surprise! A new cedar roof is included.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
