This fully updated Academy Woods home, the subdivision's largest model, combines thoughtful design, and timeless elegance that is as functional as it is beautiful. The foyer introduces interiors where hardwood floors, architectural accents, a main level primary suite, and an open flow define the main level. To one side, the dining room with detailed millwork provides the perfect setting for entertaining, while to the other, the living room offers a gathering space with views of the front yard. Beyond, the den and open-concept family room enhance the sense of volume and light, with a vaulted ceiling, fireplace, and gallery-like views to the second level. The adjoining breakfast room with access to the backyard flows into the gourmet kitchen, where a professional-grade cooktop, double ovens, and an island with wine and beverage refrigeration complement abundant workspace. The first-floor primary suite is a private retreat, featuring a tray ceiling with intricate crown molding, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and separate shower. A stylish powder room, and convenient laundry/mudroom that connects directly to the garage, completes the main level. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms - including a versatile space above the garage - are complemented by a loft and updated full bath. Hardwood floors continue throughout, while an oversized carpeted walk-in closet offers generous storage. The finished lower level extends the home's versatility with theater and recreation areas, a wet bar with a second beverage refrigerator, and a luxurious full bath. A paver patio in the back yard overlooks mature, wooded grounds, creating a private backdrop for gatherings or quiet reflection, and the neighboring Middle Fork Savanna provides access to outdoor activities. Revitalized and meticulously maintained, this maintenance-free living residence is a rare and extraordinary find.
