Property Description
Surrounded by the rolling beauty of Leicester, 2 Watsell Dr is a thoughtfully designed home that blends modern comfort with warm, inviting style in a serene mountain setting. From the moment you step inside, the open-concept layout welcomes you with soaring ceilings, natural light, and a seamless flow that makes everyday living feel effortless and connected. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is designed to impress and function beautifully, featuring stainless steel appliances, a ceramic backsplash, brushed nickel hardware, and a charming pantry with a barn door that adds both character and smart storage. The living room carries that same intentional design with a shiplap accent wall that creates a cozy focal point, bringing warmth and texture to the space. Throughout the home, Resolve waterproof LVT flooring in Bear provides a rich, durable foundation that ties each room together with a warm, cohesive finish. The private primary suite offers a relaxing retreat complete with a spa-like ensuite featuring a soaker tub, a beautifully tiled shower, and a double vanity for added comfort and convenience. Both bathrooms in the home continue this elevated feel, each featuring double vanities that blend style with everyday functionality. A large laundry room adds even more practicality, offering ample space for storage, organization, and ease of living. Two additional oversized bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, family, or a home office, each designed with comfort and space in mind. Outside, the property sits on 1.75 acres of land, offering the perfect balance of usable space and privacy. A spacious covered 12x20 back deck creates the ideal setting for relaxing mornings, outdoor dining, or entertaining while taking in the peaceful mountain surroundings. The property also includes a 13x32 outbuilding, providing excellent space for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or additional recreational use. Whether you envision starting a garden, expanding in the future, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the countryside, this property delivers endless opportunity. With sweeping views and room to grow, this home is a rare blend of thoughtful design, comfort, and outdoor living potential.
