About This Home

*** This home is also available for sale at $620k ***

Nestled in the Encore community within the Briar Chapel neighborhood, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom house—with its high ceilings, open floorplan, and luxurious primary retreat—is ready to welcome you home. Built with aging in place in mind, this single-story home has accessibility features like flat entries, 36'' doorways, and a gorgeous walk-in shower in the primary en suite.As you enter the home, you'll find along the entry hall the roomy secondary bedroom and full bathroom, a coat closet, a door to the two-car garage, and an open study. The study, beautifully accented with a recovered 19th-century stained-glass window, is perfectly suited to function as a home office, craft space,
home library, or simply a peaceful place to take your morning coffee. The hall opens into a spacious and airy-feeling great room. The kitchen boasts a large island, tons of beautiful granite countertop space, a gas range, stainless steel appliances, plenteous soft-close cabinetry, and a generously sized pantry. The bank of windows in the dining room floods the space with natural light, along with the high ceiling, giving the space a sense of ethereality. Below the windows stretches a row of cabinets, topped with a granite counter, offering you even more storage space while also visually grounding the airy feel of the room. The living room features a gas log fireplace, perfect for cozying up with hot cocoa and a good book in the wintertime or adding to a romantic ambiance. The rooms flood tons of natural light and provide a seamless transition from the living room to the covered back porch—complete with a hot tub and a new rosebush—making that beautifully-landscaped outdoor space feel like an extension of the great room. Transform the covered porch into a screened porch at the touch of a button. As you make your way toward the rear of the home, you'll find a sizable utility room that includes a countertop, an ideal work station for folding laundry. Beyond the utility room lies the owner's retreat, the primary bedroom and en suite bathroom. The commodious primary bedroom is your personal oasis, its large, south-facing windows inviting natural light to fill the room all year long. The owner's retreat also boasts a capacious walk-in closet but the luxuriant en suite bathroom is the true showstopper. This spa-like bathroom—with an expansive dual vanity that sprawls above a set of cabinets and drawers galore, as well as a separate water closet—is spacious enough to accommodate the busiest of morning routines while also being suited to long, relaxing self-care sessions. The large, tiled walk-in shower is accessible and sizable enough to accommodate a shower stool without feeling crowded. In this 55+ community within the Briar Chapel neighborhood, you don't just get a home, you also get all the amenities the neighborhood has to offer, from swimming pools and a waterpark to tennis courts and numerous parks, including a Bark Park.
