Expansive estate home on a flat 2.1 acres lot back to a wooded area in the highly desirable Locust Grove Estates! Drive up to this amazing house through the semi-circular driveway. This gem is two homes in one! Upstairs, you will find everything you need for a true one-level living lifestyle. The left wing of the main level features a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, luxury tiles backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, a large pantry, and a breakfast area. The laundry room with a granite counter and a utility sink is off to the side of the kitchen. A full bathroom, a mudroom with exit to the back deck, a multipurpose room (great space for a play area, an exercise room, or a studio), and access to the garage round out the left wing. The center area of the main level features the foyer, a living room, a dining room, a home office, and a lower-level recreation room. The formal dining room is large and well-lit with floor-to-ceiling Palladian Arch windows – plenty of room for family and friends. The family room features a gas brick fireplace with a custom wood mantle and a wall of windows overlooking the expansive and beautifully landscaped yard. The home office with a vaulted ceiling features custom-built bookshelves and a desk. The lower-level recreation room features a spacious and versatile room where you can set up a bar to go along with the fireplace and walk out to the outdoor patio and backyard. The right wing of the main level is where you will find the master bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, two closets, an updated ensuite bath with double vanity with granite countertops, and a large tiled shower with a glass door. Two additional generously-sized bedrooms and an updated full bath round out the bedroom wing. The lower level of the left wing is set up as a separate apartment – perfect for guests or an in-law suite. This space features a renovated kitchen with white cabinets, subway tile, new appliances, a dining area, a family room, a bedroom with a walk-in closet, and even its own laundry room. It has its own separate walk-out entrance. Additionally, there are several multi-purpose finished rooms/areas for hobbies, a workshop, or storage. An attached garage offers generous space for 2 cars, storage, and a workbench. A second oversized garage with a wall-mounted AC unit fits 2 compact-size cars and can store your boat or RV, or can be used as a large workshop. You can also park up to 7 cars on the driveway and parking pad. The backyard is a true retreat with lush green grass surrounded by mature trees with an invisible pet fence. There are so many outdoor spaces that you can enjoy, such as the deck from the main level, the patio off the recreation room and the apartment, the fire pit area, and the playground/tree house area. The yard also features a charming shed with a dog run that includes artificial turf and pea gravel. Plenty of room to entertain your family and guests.
