A Woodland Sanctuary with Luxe Upgrades. Welcome to a rare gem tucked into the scenic Laurel Creek woodland. Nestled on a private lot backing onto GRCA’s Laurel Creek Woodland, with miles of walking trails at your doorstep.

Cozy yet striking living area features a new gas fireplace with a cast-stone mantel and custom built-ins, perfect for gathering after dinner. The 2021 renovation also included wide plank engineered hardwood flooring throughout the main level, adding a seamless, modern flow and rich warmth to every room. Bright, open foyer leads to main floor laundry with quartz worksurface and generous storage. Elegant oak staircase enhances the home’s airy flow. Spacious upper-level primary suite with spa-like ensuite showcasing a luxurious soaker tub. Upper-level great room adds a cozy family space. Two additional second-floor bedrooms plus two more in the fully finished lower level—with a third bathroom—make a total of 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. Magnificent private backyard with screened cedar gazebo (fully wired), potting shed (also wired), and lush landscaping, perfect for al fresco dining, gardening, or tranquil escapism. Professionally paved double-wide aggregate driveway for extra curb appeal. Furnace and A/C updated in 2022; Insulated garage doors with openers, hot water on demand (tankless), sump pump and insulation all updated in 2023.
