unique home with legal coach house
Want new construction but are sick of white box McMansions with useless rooms? Good - this 2021/22 brick home w/ LEGAL COACH HOUSE is definitely NOT that - only quality finishes & functional waste-no-space design here. Peep the freshly stained front porch (July 2024) taking note of the hardwired recessed Sonos speakers. On your right is a new (July 2024) mudroom w/ all Pottery Barn built-ins. To the left is a lovely office overlooking tree lined Hutchings Ave. Nearly 10 ft ceilings are above your head. Recessed hardwired Sonos speakers grace the entire main floor. Follow the REAL white oak floors (not engineered) past the walk-in pantry w/ floor to ceiling shelves & a full bath w/ shower. Next is the chef's kitchen w/ a commercial grade Jenn Air panel ready appliance package that seamlessly blends w/ the custom shaker cabinets. The ~11-foot island was designed to entertain + seats 6+ people comfortably. The 1 touch drawer microwave is housed beneath the island counter & flanked by all extra deep, soft closing drawers, roll out racks & more. A marble backsplash compliments the white quartz counters. The wi-fi capable range has 6 burners, a griddle, & 2 ovens. Combined with the kitchen is the generously sized dining area - a great space for hosting OR gazing out the windows at the peach tree, roses, & arborvitaes while drinking coffee. The large family room greets you w/ 12+ foot ceilings & 24 floor-to-ceiling windows w/ custom built top-down, bottom-up window treatments. Walk past the wood burning fireplace, out to the stamped concrete patio + fully fenced yard w/ two gates - one enclosing the driveway right to the front of the house. Ride bikes, scooter, draw chalk art + play basketball right in your own backyard. Sellers cultivated the yard as an entertaining space for all ages, even adding a secret fairy rose garden sandbox w/ seating. No kids? Play cornhole in the driveway or grass & convert the sand box to a private hot tub haven. The 2.5 car garage is FULLY FINISHED w/ AC & HEAT. Wired for a projector, this ""party garage"" housed a DIY golf simulator area & has been the backdrop for many back yard ""drive-in"" movie nights for loved ones. ATTACHED TO THE GARAGE IS A GROUND FLOOR LEGAL COACH HOUSE w/ fridge, sink, cabinets + full bath w/ walk in shower. Work from home, host out of town guests, or use as a workout room w/ its own spa-like bathroom. Back inside the main home, take note of the treetop views from the second floor. 3 secondary bedrooms w/ 11+ ft ceilings, organized closets, + a hall bath w/ a tub, designer tile, an extra wide vanity + a linen tower for yes, more storage await. Custom built-in cabinets line the stairway & include a large linen closet. White oak floors also span this entire level. Finally, visit the true owner's suite with soaring 15+ foot vaulted ceilings, & 3 walls of closets - all custom built out w/ interior shelves, drawers, hanging space, shoe storage, and more. This was a $30k buildout and the sellers didn't regret a minute of it. Skylights abound and flow into the primary bathroom. Custom vanity cabinets & two storage towers await with quartz counters, a huge walk in STEAM SHOWER, and a soaking tub. Off to itself is the commode room for extra privacy. Last but not least is the fully finished, 10 ft deep basement with a second family room/rec area. Extra wide window wells create a daylight basement. Complete with a wet bar with a mini fridge + freezer, a gas fireplace, a completely custom play house under the stairs, + a 5th bedroom + a full bath, this basement is ready for anything.
