Skills That You Can Learn In The Real Estate Market

This nearly new home, just 11 months old, offers exceptional design, premium upgrades, and a rare oversized homesite backing to peaceful wooded views. Thoughtfully built with over $61,000 in builder upgrades and enhanced with more than $32,000 in additional improvements completed by the current owners, this property provides the benefits of new construction without the wait. The home welcomes you with a bright, modern interior featuring 10-foot ceilings on the main level, wide plank hardwood flooring throughout, designer lighting, and a neutral Sherwin-Williams “First Star” color palette complemented by bright white ceilings and trim. The open-concept layout is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, with a spacious family room centered around a stunning 55-inch linear direct-vent fireplace with a box beam mantel and custom built-in cabinetry, creating a warm and stylish focal point.

The chef’s kitchen is beautifully appointed with Monogram 36-inch double wall ovens, quartz countertops, an oversized island with Calacatta quartz, a stainless farmhouse sink, a herringbone tile backsplash, custom Morningside painted taupe cabinetry, vintage nickel hardware, and pendant lighting over the island. The luxurious primary suite serves as a relaxing retreat and features hardwood flooring along with a spa-inspired bath complete with a freestanding soaking tub, frameless glass shower with tile surround, dual marble vanities, and upgraded Trinsic stainless fixtures. Secondary bathrooms continue the upscale finishes with marble countertops, tiled showers with niches, and upgraded plumbing fixtures, including a terrace-level bath with a walk-in shower in place of the standard tub.

Hardwood flooring extends throughout the bedrooms and hallways, complemented by stained hardwood stair treads, posts, and handrails that coordinate with the flooring. The home also includes extensive smart home and technology upgrades such as CAT6 network wiring, Sonos audio system prewire, built-in speaker wiring with volume control, smart tube wiring for wall-mounted TVs, exterior camera prewire, an upgraded 42-inch wiring enclosure, and a convenient floor outlet in the family room.

Outdoor living is equally impressive. The main-level deck overlooks a large fenced backyard backing to a peaceful wooded tree line, offering privacy and space rarely found in newer communities, while the terrace level opens to a spacious patio perfect for entertaining or relaxing. After closing, the owners invested over $32,000 in additional enhancements, including a fence extension ($3,120), expanded 15×20 concrete patio ($5,000), custom plantation shutters on all windows ($12,200), custom closet systems and upgraded laundry room storage ($9,056), and a professionally finished epoxy garage floor ($2,950). Additional highlights include a tankless water heater, gas line stubs for grilling on both the deck and terrace patio, designer exterior brick and color scheme, and an additional terrace-level exterior door.

With more than $93,000 invested in upgrades and improvements, this move-in-ready home offers modern finishes, thoughtful technology upgrades, and a beautiful private backyard setting. Located in a desirable newer community with convenient access to shopping, dining, and major commuting routes, it delivers a rare combination of style, quality, and value.
