Property Description

Breathtaking 4BR/4.5BA custom-built residence on a private 2.04-acre lot in the coveted Galloway community—where large estate-sized lots, elegant custom homes, and amenities like a pool, playground, and pond create an unmatched lifestyle. With nearly 4,736 sq ft of finished living space plus a daylight basement, this home has been thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained. Step inside to an inviting foyer with soaring ceilings that lead into a light-filled, open layout. The main level offers both elegance and comfort with a two-story family room, a see-through gas fireplace shared with the sunroom, built-in cabinetry, a bright breakfast room, formal dining, home office, and a practical utility/drop zone. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen shines with a professional-grade stainless gas range framed by rich wood cabinetry, a dramatic stone arch, and custom tile backsplash. Inset shelving with decorative trim adds warmth and charm, creating a perfect blend of style and function for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a true retreat—featuring a sitting/flex space (ideal for an office or craft room), his-and-hers walk-in closets, a spa-like bath with separate tub and shower, and a see-through fireplace shared with the private screened porch. A second ensuite bedroom and two additional bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bath complete the upper level. The finished daylight basement expands your living options with over 1,100 sq ft, including a recreation room, exercise room, a cozy gas fireplace, and a spa-inspired shower with a Mr. Steam steamer. Three large unfinished storage rooms plus a dog-door-accessible storage area offer incredible flexibility. Outdoor living is nothing short of spectacular. Enjoy a fenced backyard with hardwood tree privacy, two screened porches (one off the first floor and one off the primary suite), a 12x35 deck with stairs leading to the backyard, an upgraded Trex deck with RainEscape system (ready to add ceiling & lighting, fans & TV-ready), and a massive 1,600 sq ft patio with firepit, seat wall, stone columns, and LED accent lighting. Additional highlights include a shed on a paver base, irrigation in front yard, and LeafFilter gutters (2024).
