This is THE ONE you have been waiting for. Nestled in the quiet co-housing community of Solterra, this is a beautiful brick home. The professional landscaping surrounding the house creates a relaxing retreat. The rocking-chair front porch and the rear screened-in porch are perfect spaces to enjoy the outdoors. Once inside, the expansive entry greets you with a statement chandelier. You will immediately be drawn to the beautiful hardwood flooring throughout. The living room and dining room are spacious, perfect for entertaining. The open floor plan leads into a generously sized Chef's Kitchen, which features a large island with granite countertops on every surface. There is plenty of storage in the cabinets, with each containing pull-outs, as well as a built-in wine rack. The Wolf's gas cooktop and Kitchenaid wall oven are a cook's dream. There is also a water dispenser over the stovetop. A large farm sink sits directly under a double window. The Miele dishwasher is virtually silent and the dishes come out dry and sparkling clean. The family room, extending from the kitchen, has a gas fireplace, and the breakfast-nook, off the kitchen and family room, is surrounded by windows. There is even a side wall of cabinets for additional storage. Double doors with privacy glass in the family room lead out into the screened-in porch, where you can entertain or greet passers-by on the pathway that leads to every house in the community. The back area has lovely plants around the perimeter of the house, including a long row of mature trees on one side, providing beauty and privacy, as well as the sighting of wonderful birds. On the second floor, the spacious primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and two generous, custom-designed walk-in closets. The first closet also opens to a hidden ''craft room,'' for hobbies and/or storage. The Italian-marbled primary bath contains a large walk-in shower, double sinks and plenty of cabinets. The laundry room, next to the primary bedroom, has a utility sink and cabinets. Two guest rooms share a well-appointed, beautiful guest bath, and a large, well-lit loft with plenty of natural light overlooks the open foyer. It is perfect as an entertainment space, home office, library or a fourth bedroom. In keeping with the eco-friendly theme of the community, the house has 16 solar panels which reduce your monthly electric bill to a minimal amount. Two large AC unit-drives in the rear of the house provide AC/heat for two zones, and there is even a plug-in for charging an electric vehicle at the front of the driveway. Solterra is a co-housing community founded on the principles of sharing, caring, collaboration and living in harmony with nature. There is a Common House with a big kitchen equipped with pots & pans, commercial-sized sinks, a commercial dishwasher, two industrial ovens and every kind of utensil cooks want. Your neighbors come together to share meals, celebrate special occasions and holidays, play games, or just lounge in the comfortable sofas and chairs and chat. There is even a screened-in porch with tables and chairs for dining, a children's room has many toys and playthings, and a washer-dryer in a closet. There is a shared community garden with a gazebo, a dog park, a children's play-area, two beautiful meadows and walking trails adjoining the community and near-by. Solterra is a unique, peaceful oasis in a highly desirable location.
