Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and backing to trees, woods, and open space, this beautifully appointed NV Homes Empress II offers an exceptional combination of privacy, space, and indoor-outdoor living. Built in 2016 and set on more than a quarter acre, the home features Hardie Plank siding on all four sides, 4,286 finished square feet across three levels, five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and an oversized two-car garage. A welcoming front porch sets the tone, but the home's incredible outdoor living spaces may quickly become your favorite feature. A recent approximately $150,000 investment created an expansive Trex deck and screened-in porch designed to be enjoyed well beyond the warmer months. An electric fireplace and four infrared heaters make the screened porch cozy on crisp fall evenings, while the peaceful backdrop of mature trees and open space creates a setting that feels remarkably private and tranquil. Inside, the main level has every room you've been hoping for. At the heart of the home is an open-concept kitchen and family room, complemented by formal living and dining rooms, a private home office, and a mudroom conveniently located off the garage. The spacious eat-in kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, two ovens, and a pantry. Open to the kitchen, the family room is equally impressive with a beautiful coffered ceiling and raised-hearth stone gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space with views toward the home's wooded setting. Upstairs, four bedrooms and three full baths provide plenty of space and privacy. The generous primary suite includes two walk-in closets, while bedroom-level laundry adds everyday convenience. The finished lower level expands the home's versatility even further with a large recreation room, fifth bedroom, and full bath-ideal for overnight guests, an au pair, or extended family. An additional approximately 500 square feet of unfinished space provides exceptional storage today with the potential to become a future gym, movie room, or other finished living space. Even the garage is noteworthy. At approximately 500 square feet, the oversized two-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles along with bikes, sporting equipment, and additional storage. Beautifully designed, thoughtfully improved, and surrounded by nature, this home offers the space of newer construction with a setting that is increasingly difficult to find. From quiet mornings on the screened porch to evenings around the fireplace overlooking the trees, this is a home designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining.
