This exceptional Richmond Dillon II model is the largest floor plan available in the community, on an extra-wide lot. With no more of this floor plan being built, this is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready, fully upgraded home that stands out from the rest. From the moment you step through the door, you're welcomed by a dramatic two-story foyer and elegant formal dining room. The expansive great room features a soaring ceiling with a striking tiled fireplace wall. The heart of the home is the upgraded gourmet kitchen, complete with double ovens, a generous island, a walk-in pantry, and a convenient butler's pantry for extra prep and storage space. Just off the kitchen, you'll find the upgraded sunroom for casual dining. From here, step out to the extended covered patio, with a gas line for your grill. The backyard is thoughtfully designed with lush sod and low maintenance turf. Also on the main level, you'll find a private home office with French doors, powder room, and spacious laundry room and mudroom room just off the oversized three-car garage. Upstairs, discover a peaceful reading nook and three secondary bedrooms-one with a private en-suite bath and another full bath with double sinks. The luxurious primary suite boasts a deluxe spa-style bath with an upgraded shower and deep walk-in closet. More upgrades: 8-foot doors on the main and upper levels, pre-wiring for ceiling fans, dual HVAC systems for enhanced comfort and efficiency. The rare finished basement includes a large bedroom with walk-in closet, a bonus room ideal for a gym or studio, and a huge family room with space for games or conversion to a 6th bedroom. Plus, plenty of storage! The curb appeal is just as impressive, with an upgraded stone elevation and a front porch that looks out onto open space-perfect for enjoying serene views and immediate access to walking paths. The community of Independence features a clubhouse, pool, parks and over 400 sqft of green space with winding trails.
