About this home

Exceptional curb appeal and impeccable craftsmanship define this stunning two-year-old Chesapeake model by Schell Brothers, beautifully positioned within Welches Pond, proudly recognized as the area's #1 community in 2025. Offering over 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, complemented by a full unfinished basement with rough plumbing for a future bath, this exceptional residence combines timeless architectural appeal with endless opportunities for future expansion. Designed with striking exterior architecture, the home showcases multiple roofline peaks, attractive board and batten shutters, a charming window box, a welcoming covered front porch, and an extended two-bay garage accented by a pergola. A sophisticated blend of vertical and horizontal siding creates visual interest, while professionally landscaped grounds, supported by an irrigation system, provide effortless beauty throughout the seasons. Inside, a soft neutral color palette and luxury vinyl plank flooring create a seamless backdrop for sophisticated everyday living. Elegant architectural details, including extensive wainscoting, crown molding, and transom doorways, elevate the home's refined yet inviting atmosphere. At the heart of the home, the professionally designed gourmet kitchen is both stunning and functional. Beautiful white quartz countertops with dramatic gray veining complement an impressive suite of Cafe appliances, including a French door refrigerator, built-in microwave, double wall ovens, five-burner gas cooktop, custom range hood with pot filler, and soft-close cabinetry enhanced by under-cabinet lighting. Display cabinetry, a striking glass picket tile backsplash, and an expansive center island illuminated by designer pendant lighting create the perfect gathering space for family and friends. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the spacious dining area and spectacular two-story great room, where soaring ceilings, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, custom built-ins with floating shelves, and an impressive wall of two-story windows fill the home with abundant natural light while creating an unforgettable focal point. Privately tucked away on the main level, the luxurious primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat featuring a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath complete with dual quartz-topped vanities and an oversized walk-in shower. The thoughtfully designed first floor also offers a private home office, an additional guest bedroom, a beautifully appointed full bath enhanced with designer wallpaper, and an oversized laundry room featuring a utility sink and abundant cabinetry. Upstairs, an inviting loft overlooks the great room below and provides access to three additional bedrooms, including two with private ensuite baths, along with a spacious bonus room that is perfectly suited for movie nights, gaming, or casual gatherings. Thoughtful behind-the-scenes upgrades further distinguish this exceptional residence, including a surround sound system with integrated controls, two tankless water heaters, a security system, and owned solar equipment that contributes to long-term energy efficiency. Outside, the fully fenced backyard provides privacy and room to relax, entertain, or play. Lawn care is included through the HOA, allowing more time to enjoy the exceptional lifestyle this welcoming community provides. Offering the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, energy efficiency, and low-maintenance living, this extraordinary home is a rare opportunity to own one of Welches Pond's finest residences.
