A two-story foyer with rich hardwood floors and crisp wainscoting welcomes you in, with a tastefully updated powder room tucked just off the entry. The main level unfolds as a true entertainer's layout: the living room centers around a gas fireplace beneath a custom mantel surround and connects to a breakfast room, which provides a sunny everyday dining space and opens through French doors to a charming three-season sunroom addition. This serene retreat features shiplap walls, a vaulted wood-tone ceiling, and its own electric fireplace - perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding, year-round. The living room also flows seamlessly into a beautifully renovated kitchen, where light gray shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a herringbone mosaic backsplash, and stainless steel appliances come together with timeless polish. A glass-paned pantry door and an oversized counter-height bar add both charm and everyday function. The adjoining dining room, framed by classic wainscoting and a chandelier, offers a refined setting for more formal gatherings. The main-level primary suite is a true sanctuary, with plush carpet, a generously sized layout, and French doors opening to the ensuite bath, which includes a spacious walk-in closet. This spa-style retreat impresses with a double sink vanity, a roomy walk-in soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower - all finished with elegant tile work and crown molding throughout. A well-placed laundry room with stacked washer and dryer completes the main-floor convenience. Upstairs, a comfortable loft overlooks the staircase and offers flexible living space, accompanied by two generously sized bedrooms - one a spacious double-bed layout ideal for guests - and a full hall bath with classic tile and a tub/shower combo. The finished lower level is built for entertaining, featuring an expansive recreation room with space for a freestanding bar, billiards, and media, plus a charming cafe9;-style nook with its own coffee bar and seating, a fourth bedroom currently configured as a home office, and a full bath. A door from this level opens to a partially covered patio with a nearby fire pit area - perfect for relaxed gatherings under the stars. Additional highlights include a 2-car garage, ample guest and overflow parking, and a private, tree-lined homesite backing to peaceful common area. Beyond the front door, Village Crest delivers resort-style living with indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a vibrant clubhouse offering a full calendar of community activities. This is more than a home - it's an invitation to an elevated lifestyle. Read Less
