A rare opportunity in Brandon Farms: the expanded Avalon model on a private, wooded lot. Set on nearly half an acre backing to mature trees, this home offers the privacy and space that new construction simply can’t match. With over 3,200 sq ft above grade and a full finished basement with a fourth full bath, this is one of the largest and most versatile floorplans in the community. Inside, a two‑story foyer opens to sun‑filled formal rooms and a dramatic family room with a wall of windows framing the wooded backdrop. The kitchen features 42” cabinetry, granite counters, double wall ovens, and a center island with pull‑out storage. A private study and a playroom/bonus room complete the main level. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite includes tray ceilings, dual walk‑in closets, and a spacious bath with separate vanities, soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The finished basement adds exceptional living space: a pub‑style bar, game room, playroom, gas fireplace, and a full bathroom—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or entertaining. Outside, enjoy a quiet, private yard with professional landscaping, custom paver walkways, and an oversized Trex deck with hot tub—your own retreat in Brandon Farms. New roof (2025). A move‑in‑ready home with rare privacy, mature trees, and the largest Avalon layout.
