This exceptional home, located in the well-established front section of Shakes Run near The Parklands, offers privacy, luxury, and architectural excellence. Situated at the center of a cul-de-sac, there are unobstructed views of woods, a pond, and the hillside that leads to the clubhouse and pool. The home's beautiful landscaping on all four sides, featuring the lava rock fountain, and natural stone steps to the backyard, sets the tone for the quality craftsmanship found throughout the home. The wide, covered front porch with stone-based columns invites you in, where a grand foyer opens to a versatile office or flex space. This room is defined by its glass French doors, transom, and a striking architectural ceiling, alongside a wall of casement windows. Equally comfortable for intimate gatherings or larger events, the main living areas are highlighted by rich wood flooring, large windows, and exquisite light fixtures. The two-story great room, kitchen, and dining area flow seamlessly but are delineated by the floor plan angles, with each "room" having distinct ceiling designs and lighting details. The dual-sided fireplace flanked by windows in the great room is shared by the screen porch, bringing the outside in. Ideal for entertaining or quiet moments, the porch also has curtains, a TV mount, room for your grill and steps down to the lower level. Another fireplace, framed in stone, creates a transition space between the kitchen and dining room. The well-appointed kitchen with a barrel-vaulted ceiling is a standout feature of the home, offering a banquet sized, 12'9" x 4'6" granite countertop, perfect for meal preparation, entertaining, or casual dining. Custom Amish-built cabinetry with drawers and pull-outs spans the entire back wall. The dining room, with its two walls of windows, feels like a part of the yard and woods. The adjoining back foyer houses the guest half bath, a walk-in pantry with custom wood shelving, laundry room, driveway porch, cubbies and entry to the three-car garage which has additional storage and workspace. The design with two large windows and a retractable screen for the larger garage door creates a comfortable environment for work or hobbies. As an exceptional retreat, the light-filled primary suite also has access to the screen porch. The primary bath features a separated double vanity and a large barrel-vaulted ceiling, highlighted by a crescent window above the columned soaking tub, plus a private, oversized, walk in tiled shower. The closet room is custom fitted, and even has a granite topped chest of drawers. Upstairs, the two front bedrooms both have built-in desk/vanities and their own private baths, offering an ideal layout for family or guests. A third upstairs room provides a flexible space for a library, home office, or a possible bedroom. Tailor it to suit your personal needs. The walk-out lower level is a true extension of the home's exceptional design, featuring two levels. The first level, with a cool epoxied floor, houses the card room, a brick and granite bar area, with a full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher, and a TV mount. Take a few steps down to the billiard room with great views of the yard and pond. The beamed, coffered ceiling defines the entertainment area. A private bedroom, and a full hall bath are adjacent to the "patio lobby". With two ample storage rooms, the lower level is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The patio is adjacent to the pond lined by redbuds, the woods and greenspace that leads up the hill to the clubhouse and pool. Steps from the patio take you up back up to the screen porch. With its sophisticated design, carefully considered details, and thoughtful integration of natural surroundings, this home offers an unparalleled lifestyle of luxury and comfort.
