A Home Designed for Family, Comfort & Memories Welcome to a home where your family can put down roots and enjoy all the little moments that make a house truly special. Custom built in desirable Sandy Hills, this beautiful home combines timeless quality, thoughtful updates, and the space a growing family needs - inside and out. From the moment you arrive, the stately brick front and stunning front entry door create a warm and welcoming first impression. Inside, abundant Andersen windows fill the home with natural light, while the neutral, light décor provides a comfortable backdrop for your family's own style. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and large windows overlooking the yard. The kitchen flows naturally into the dining and living areas, making it easy to keep an eye on the kids while preparing meals or gathering with family and friends. A built-in cabinet buffet in the formal dining room provides beautiful storage and the perfect setting for holiday dinners and special celebrations. The floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace surround creates a striking focal point in the family room, with a gas fireplace that makes cozy evenings together especially inviting. Just beyond it, an 8-foot-wide Andersen patio door opens to the backyard, making summer entertaining, outdoor play, and family gatherings feel like a natural extension of the home. Outside, the flat yard and multiple entertaining spaces give children room to run and play while providing plenty of space for adults to relax, grill, entertain, and enjoy beautiful summer days together. A main-floor laundry room with storage cabinets adds everyday convenience - especially appreciated by a busy family. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, complete with upgraded carpeting, a generous walk-in closet, and a beautifully finished bath featuring a floor-to-ceiling ceramic tile shower. The upper-level main bath has also been thoughtfully updated with a ceramic tile floor and ceramic surround around the tub and shower, making it both attractive and practical for a growing household. And when your family needs more room to spread out, the finished lower level delivers. The large recreation room is ready for movie nights, playtime, gaming, sleepovers, or simply giving everyone a little extra space. A 5th bedroom and 3/4 bath with extensive ceramic tile make the lower level especially versatile for guests, older children, a home office, or whatever your family needs today - and in the years ahead. The 3-car garage provides room for vehicles, bikes, toys, sports equipment, and all the things that come with an active family lifestyle. This is more than a beautiful custom-built home. It's a place where kids can grow up, family traditions can begin, friends can gather, and everyday life can be enjoyed together. With its wonderful floor plan, inviting outdoor spaces, quality construction, and desirable Sandy Hills location, this is the kind of home a family can enjoy for years to come.
