About this home
Exceptional upgrades and turnkey condition comes with this gorgeous mostly brick 2 story in a prime location within a highly popular neighborhood near everything north.
From the brick entry sidewalk to the spectacular rear 42 X 13 brick terrace atop stone walls in a lush yard with large custom shed, a corner dogwood, fence climbing roses and adjacent garden area, the picture is perfect. This home is not only warm, gracious, comfortable and easy but has been improved in nearly every way imaginable.
Upgrades in the beautiful expanded Kitchen include Wellborn wood handcrafted soft close cabinets, Cambria quartz countertops, Fez backsplash, durable Avalon COREtec luxury flooring, all Kohler with beverage dispenser and in line water filter, Bosch flat top electric range and microwave, an ultra quiet garbage disposal and a Whirlpool refrigerator. Plus there is an eat in table area, large pantry closet, utility/laundry area (recent Electrolux front entry washer and dryer included) and sweetly updated Powder Room down a hallway. Most homes of this type in Deerhurst have galley kitchens without room for a table and chairs; this home is different!
The impressive Family Room addition adjacent to the Kitchen is elevated, sun-filled and private with vaulted ceiling, accent lighting, handy built-ins for work or study, Palladian type triple pane windows and hard wood floors.
The rest of the windows in this remarkably attractive home are Marvin Infinity low-E top of the line, can't get any better, with a lifetime warranty and which were custom made to fully fit the brick thus allowing much more light throughout..
The roof is recent with a 50 year warranty. Hot and cold water spigots outside at driveway. All exterior doors are Paragon with lifetime warranties. Systems are natural gas and central air, a Navien tankless hot water heater (flushed and cleaned every 6 months) and a discreetly installed Enphase solar system (owned and completely paid for with no fees) with warranted IQ8X converters and which was designed to produce 86% of annual needs and which in offpeak April 2026 net exported 127.6 kWh, including the use of the garage installed Level II EV Charger; the solar panels are producing significantly more energy than is being used. Money in your pocket! Another unusual improvement for this neighborhood is the tactfully widened driveway allowing for easier parking plus access to the side entry Garage which has handsome custom doors, epoxy floor and a split system independent climate controlled heating/cooling unit for optional additional use as an exercise room or home gym. While all the homes in this section of Deerhurst have some manner of a mostly unusable crawl space, this one opens to a 4-5 foot high lighted and insulated basement type space allowing for extraordinary storage and which is accessed through the Garage.. Upstairs are 3 lovely Bedrooms, an updated Bath, an expanded Primary Bedroom closet, a walk in hall closet and stairs to a floored stand up Attic with thermostatically controlled fan. Out back, there is a covered area for hanging laundry and a mint/herb garden as well as lots of lawn for play. Consistent maintenance throughout includes a new sewer drain to street (2023) and all water lines replaced with PEX with all connections located in one panel so there are no worries about a leak above the first floor. Cutler-Hammer breakers. Security system with cameras and window sensors can stay with buyers picking up the account. And so much more!
The Deerhurst neighborhood is known for community events (Halloween is huge), 2 community parks, an active Civic Association and an extraordinary location with quick, easy access to airports, train stations, downtown offices and which is just a walk away from shopping, groceries, drugstores, and restaurants....
