Description

Introducing the epitome of luxury living in the prestigious Governor's Hill community. Nestled in an enclave of distinguished homes where the sense of community and pride of ownership is evident as you enter the community, this exquisite estate boasts 6 generously sized bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and a convenient half bathroom on the main level. Upon entry, you're greeted by a grand formal sitting room, setting the tone for the impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail found throughout. The family room features soaring 17 foot ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, creating an inviting ambiance for gatherings or quiet relaxation. Adjacent to the family room lies the heart of the home - a chef's kitchen designed for culinary enthusiasts. The kitchen boasts ample space for dining, granite countertops, and high-end appliances. Whether you're entertaining guests or preparing a family meal, this kitchen is sure to impress. Strategically positioned off the kitchen and beyond its practical utility, the mudroom serves as a transitional zone, providing seamless access to the attached 2-car garage. Brand new dark solid hardwood flooring carries a warmth throughout the entire home. For those who work from home or desire a private retreat, a spacious office with built-in shelves awaits on the main level. Hosting formal dinners is a breeze in the elegant dining room, providing the perfect backdrop for memorable occasions. Ascending to the upper level, you'll discover a convenient laundry room and four additional bedrooms, each offering ample space. Two secondary bedrooms are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom with double sinks, while the third bedroom features a private attached bathroom. The primary bedroom exudes luxury with its tray ceiling, two large walk-in closets equipped with top-of-the-line custom organizers/California closets, and a lavish ensuite bathroom complete with double sinks, a soaking tub, and a frameless shower. The expansive basement offers even more living space, featuring two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and soaring 17 foot ceilings. Entertainment options abound with a bonus room ideal for an exercise room or theater/media room, as well as a gas fireplace and large storage room. Outside, the Governor's Hill community provides a quite retreat with its tucked-away ambiance, while still offering easy access to the vibrant shopping, dining, and entertainment of Old Town. Commuting is a breeze with major highways such as 95 and 495 nearby, and the Huntington Metro station just a 3-minute drive or 20-minute walk away.

    "Although there are nice parks where I live, most of the family friendly neighborhoods reside in an enclosed neighborhood called Cameron Station. There is a beautiful library and it's close to Van Dorn Metro. There is a lot of traffic and some have pockets that are unsafe. The area is not pedestrian friendly. Lots of dog parks. Not stroller friendly. Eisenhower seems to have the least amount of crime but it is a busy street during the day. LA Mart is a great source for Asian groceries. The area has almost everything you need in a short distance. Schools aren't rated the best."

Most properties including townhomes in this area also include fenced-in backyards which provide relief during the day or while away; most townhome communities also have common grassy areas for homeowners to use."
