Introducing an exceptional Schell Brothers residence where timeless craftsmanship, luxury finishes, and thoughtful design come together in this beautifully curated home, perfectly positioned on a premium homesite backing to a tranquil wooded setting. Offering 4 bedrooms, including 2 luxurious primary suites, 3 full baths, 2 powder rooms, and a finished basement, this remarkable property blends sophistication, privacy, and resort-inspired living. A charming covered front porch and striking Craftsman-style entry with transom windows create an elegant first impression. Inside, the grand foyer showcases exquisite wainscoting, crown molding, and rich solid Hickory hardwood flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the main level. Wide-width upgraded doors, custom moldings, designer blinds and shades, and tailored window treatments further enhance the home’s refined character. Designed for both culinary creativity and entertaining, the gourmet chef’s kitchen serves as the heart of the home. Anchored by an expansive quartz island with a porcelain farmhouse sink, the space features classic black fixtures and hardware, GE Profile stainless-steel appliances, a gas cooktop with wall oven, custom Maple cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, illuminated display cabinets, an elegant marble backsplash, recessed and pendant lighting, a spacious walk-in pantry, and a dedicated coffee bar area. The adjoining dining area, highlighted by a dramatic black iron chandelier and oversized picture window, flows effortlessly into the impressive great room. Built in speakers are in the ceiling of the dining room as it transitions into the great room. Soaring cathedral ceilings create a grand sense of scale, while a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with raised slate hearth and illuminated built-ins serves as a stunning focal point. A wall of windows fills the space with natural light while framing peaceful backyard views. An atrium door opens to a beautiful 4 season porch designed for year-round enjoyment, featuring multiple sliding windows to capture gentle breezes and wooded surroundings. Enhanced with luxury vinyl plank flooring, wood-plank ceilings, recessed lighting, wood accent walls, and a ceiling fan, this inviting retreat seamlessly extends the living space outdoors. A private patio creates the perfect setting for grilling and entertaining while overlooking the serene tree-lined backdrop. The main-level primary suite offers an elegant private retreat with tray ceilings, decorative wainscoting, recessed lighting, a farmhouse-style fan, dual walk-in closets, and picturesque backyard views. The spa-inspired bath features a sliding barn door entry, dual vanities, a frameless glass shower with custom tile and river rock flooring, and a private water closet. A beautifully crafted hardwood staircase with oak railings, wainscoting, and a large picture window leads to an expansive upper-level loft ideal for a recreation area. The second primary suite offers a private bath with an oversized tiled shower, marble vanity, and dedicated mini-split system for personalized comfort. Two additional spacious bedrooms and another full bath complete the upper level. The finished lower level expands the home even further with a spacious recreation area, an additional powder room, and three large storage rooms. Additional features include lawn irrigation with a separate well, security system and Ring doorbell capabilities, and a premium builder upgrade with a two-foot extension expanding the dining room, great room, and powder room. Residents of Cardinal Grove enjoy resort-style amenities including a stunning community pool, outdoor bar and grill area, fire-lit pergola lounge, playground, recreational spaces, included lawn care and fertilization, trash service, common area maintenance, and snow removal. This exceptional home offers a lifestyle defined by luxury, comfort, and thoughtful design. Seller is a DE Licensed Realtor
