Set within the sought-after Academy Woods community, this beautifully maintained residence is one of the neighborhood’s largest floor plans, offering generous living spaces with an open, light-filled layout. A spacious two-story foyer provides views into the living room, dining room and family room, where a cathedral ceiling and expansive windows overlook the newly landscaped backyard. The living room opens to an inviting den with fireplace and sliding glass doors to the patio, while the family room, also anchored by a fireplace, flows seamlessly into the sun-filled breakfast room with bay windows and access to the back patio, as well as the adjoining kitchen. A separate dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining. The first-floor primary suite features a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets and a spacious bath with an oversized steam shower. A powder room and conveniently located laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs, an open staircase leads to a cozy loft, three additional bedrooms-including one with an ensuite bath-and a versatile bonus room ideal for an office, playroom or additional gathering space. The unfinished basement offers excellent potential for future finished living space. Outdoors, new flagstone steps were added off the back patio in 2024, while current landscaping improvements will allow the new owner to select plantings and add their own finishing touches. Academy Woods neighborhood paths provide a wonderful setting for walking and outdoor recreation.
