Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Wolf Branch School District, this exceptional one-owner home offers the perfect balance of timeless design, generous living space, and meticulous care. Surrounded by mature trees and beautifully maintained landscaping, the property offers approximately 3,000 square feet of finished living space, plus an unfinished 2,000 square foot walkout basement ready to be customized to fit your lifestyle.
A welcoming wraparound porch leads into an impressive two-story great room where soaring ceilings, newly refinished hardwood floors, and a dramatic wall of south-facing windows fill the home with natural light. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the main level offers a spacious primary suite with brand new carpeting, a walk-in closet, and a private bath featuring a garden tub and separate shower.
The beautifully updated kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring new granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, two pantries, and a bright breakfast area overlooking the backyard. Just beyond, the newly remodeled TREX composite deck creates a comfortable outdoor living space surrounded by mature shade and flowering trees.
French doors open to a private library and home office with custom built-in bookcases and cabinetry, providing an ideal space for working from home, reading, or quiet reflection. A formal dining room, powder room, and main floor laundry add convenience and flexibility.
Upstairs, an open loft overlooks the great room and leads to four generously sized bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet. The oversized fifth bedroom offers exceptional versatility with three closets and a charming window seat with built-in storage, making it equally suited as a guest suite, media room, playroom, fitness studio, or additional office.
The full walkout basement provides an outstanding opportunity to expand your living space with room for a recreation area, home theater, fitness room, workshop, or additional bedrooms while still offering abundant storage.
Recent improvements include a new roof, dual high-efficiency HVAC systems, dual water heaters, cleaned ductwork, refinished hardwood floors, new carpeting throughout the primary suite and upper level, a beautifully remodeled upstairs bath, updated granite countertops, and a remodeled TREX composite deck.
Located just minutes from Scott Air Force Base, shopping, dining, parks, and major highways, this home offers an exceptional combination of privacy, convenience, quality craftsmanship, and thoughtful updates in one of the Metro East's most sought-after communities.
Homes that have been this well cared for rarely become available. This is a property where pride of ownership is evident from the moment you arrive.
