Property description
This gorgeous 4Br/2.1Ba New Haven II Model has been meticulously maintained by the original owners for the last 26 years and now it is available for the new buyers. From the moment you enter this home, you will be overwhelmed by the gleaming Brazilian Hardwood floors that extend through the entire main floor and up the steps to the 2nd-floor hallway. The main floor includes a 2-story soaring foyer that is flanked by the study and Formal Dining Room that flow nicely to the spacious Living Room that includes a soft premium carpet framed in the Brazilian Hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace framed with exquisite millwork, and Plantation Blinds (also found in the kitchen and both 2nd-floor bathrooms). Now to the open Kitchen (updated in 2003) with 42” Cherry Cabinets, Stainless Steel Appliances (2019), Corian Counters, Center Island, Tile backsplash (19’), and recessed lighting that opens to the Living Room. The 2nd Floor offers 3 generously sized bedrooms with recently steam cleaned carpeting and a large step-down owner's suite with loads of closet space. Both 2nd-floor bathrooms were completely remodeled by Ferris Home Improvements with premium tile, cabinetry, windows, and glass shower enclosures. There is also a 2nd-floor laundry. Down to the finished basement that includes a large Family Room with knotty pine bar and recessed lights that flows to the utility area and a possible 5th bedroom/office/game room. Now out to the huge, 2-tiered manufactured deck and railing that overlooks the private lot and shed. Some other recent improvements include a Trane HVAC system replaced in 2019, architectural shingle roof replaced in 2020 with a transferrable warranty, and new seamless gutters. This home is located on a premium lot in the back of the community. Also included in this sale are 2-dog collars that work with the invisible fence.
