We are wrapping all the finishing touches on this incredible home up and it will be ready to move in soon! This is such a great home with lots of character and charm. It has timeless design elements throughout . The exterior of the home is mostly brick with a heavy white mortar that is accented by LP smart side's Board and Batten siding along with just the right amount of cedar shake and wood accents to add warmth and charm. We still have a few more wood accents on the front yet to be completed that will surely add even more charm! You will notice the attention to detail as you walk up the brick steps onto a large front sitting porch that is the perfect size for that porch swing you have always wanted and a couple rocking chairs to go along with it. Then you notice the oversized 3'6 x 8' tall craftsman style front door accented perfectly by the brick that invites you in. Once inside you will instantly feel at home with 10' ceilings in the entry that has an open formal dining room which also boasts 10' ceilings off to the right. While you are standing in the foyer you can't help but notice the 8' French doors that lead out onto the covered back patio that allows a ton of natural light to come in. You will also notice the random width hand scraped hardwood flooring that carries throughout most of the home. As you walk further into the home your eyes will for sure be drawn to the gorgeous chef's kitchen complete with farmhouse style sink, granite countertops, soft close doors and drawers, built in microwave in the island, a custom wood range hood, along with a pot filler. The true anchor of the kitchen is it's huge 4'x8' island that has an abundance of storage. You can easily fit 5 bar stools tucked in comfortably along the back. To add even more of the timeless feel we have had a custom made solid maple butcher block 1.5" thick countertop stained the perfect color for the home and finished with an industrial satin finish that's sure to stand the test of time. The tile backsplash and under cabinet lighting will truly complete the look once it's completed. Did I mention the butler's style pantry yet? The butler's pantry is just one more of the design details that you just don't ever see in new homes anymore, but it adds a whole new level of comfort and livability. It sets directly off the kitchen and has been designed with family in mind. Storage, storage, and even more storage! It has more base cabinetry along the back wall with granite tops. The custom heavy timber that was used for the open shelving hosts a ton of storage all the while looking amazing. On the other end of the Great Room you will notice the living area with a gas fireplace that is housed in stone with a brick hearth along the bottom. The timber mantle will be the finishing touch once it is installed. This 4 bedroom home features a split bedroom plan. Off the living area you will enter into a hall that will lead you to the 2 front bedrooms and then 1 more on the back of the home. You also have a large linen closet and a shared bathroom off the hall. The bathroom is designed with a family in mind so that the shower and toilet are in its own room leaving the double vanity with granite countertops, undermount sinks completed with moen faucets and decorative mirrors. That bathroom also has a linen closet of its own. On the other end of the home just off the kitchen you will have a hall that also serves as an entry off the garage. You will find another coat closet at the end of the hall that also houses the home's media hub. Did I mention the home is equipped with an in home audio system? The home has been wired for sound with in ceiling speakers in the Master Bedroom, Great Room, and on the covered back patio. It's an expandable system that allows you to add even more rooms if you would like to in the future. All of the bedrooms and the Great Room is also set up and wired for a wall mounted tv. With the media hub in the closet you can have everything installed in there so that you do not have any wires hanging down anywhere. That's just another example of the kind of thought that went into the planning of the home. You can also access the laundry room and Master Suite off that same hallway. Let's start with the Master Suite, it is an oversized Master bedroom with a vaulted trey ceiling that makes the space feel even larger. You will for sure notice the custom sliding barn door that will lead you into the Master Bath. There you will find a bathroom full of natural light with his and hers vanities both having granite tops. You will for sure notice the stand alone soaking tub with the floor mounted faucet and sprayer. It also has a custom tile shower that will have the glass door installed soon to complete it. It also has a separate room for the toilet with more cabinetry to add some extra storage. Just off the bathroom you will enter in the Master Closet with a ton of shelving and storage. One of the best features of the home is the back access to the laundry room from the Master Closet though a pocket door. Once again, this home is just designed for comfortable family living. The Laundry room is set up with a sink to the right of the washer and dryer and plenty of hanging space on the opposite wall with the timber shelving and clothes rod. This home also boasts spray foam insulation, heat pump with a natural gas furnace for an ultra energy efficient home that will have super low utility bills because of the steps that the builder has taken.. This is the kind of thing that you do not see in new homes unless it's a custom home. The home will also have a fully sodded yard with a 6 zone irrigation system along with professional landscaping to finish it off. The home is located in the South Oaks subdivision in Republic. This home was built on one of the last available lots in this well established family friendly neighborhood. This home won't last long!
