Property Description

Wonderful, expanded Colonial and former model home that has been lovingly maintained by its original owners from day one. Offering four bedrooms, two full and one half bath, this exceptional two-story home combines the traditional elegance of a center-hall Colonial with thoughtful farmhouse-inspired updates and an impressive collection of indoor and outdoor living spaces. Step inside to a grand center hall featuring beautiful hardwood flooring and custom millwork that immediately sets the tone. The spacious, updated kitchen opens seamlessly to the main living areas and features custom details, a center island, granite countertops, updated fixtures and appliances, and plenty of room for everyday living and entertaining. Beyond the kitchen is an impressive family room addition—nearly twice the size of the original model’s family room—with soaring vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light. Sliding doors open directly to an exceptional outdoor living area featuring a Trex deck, fire pit, fully fenced yard, and charming luxury playhouse. With three distinct outdoor living areas, this home offers plenty of options for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the outdoors. The main level also includes a dedicated office and convenient powder room. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, along with two full baths and excellent closet space. The spacious primary suite features a handsome accent wall, a five-piece en-suite bathroom, and a walk-in closet. The finished lower level adds even more living and recreational space, with high ceilings, a dedicated theater room, exercise area, two separate storage rooms, and a full-bath rough-in—offering tremendous flexibility for future use. An oversized two-car garage with high ceilings provides ample room for vehicles, storage, and more. Ideally situated on a premium lot in Shannon Cove, one of Middletown’s desirable communities, this stylish and exceptionally well-cared-for home offers convenient access to major roadways, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. Community clubhouse and pool are available for membership. Welcome Home.
