Description

Welcome to this sublime 4-level, 3350SF townhome with an elevator, located in the amenity-rich Quarry Springs community. A quiet location on an interior street (not facing River Rd), this model includes a rare 4th bedroom with a full bath on the entry level, a separate dog room (or extra storage space) with its own rear entrance, an elevator serving all four floors, and access to the 2-car garage. The main level showcases an open floor plan perfect for entertaining, with a sleek gourmet kitchen featuring a large island, floor-to-ceiling cabinets and three pantries, a spacious dining area, an inviting living room with a gas fireplace, and a powder room. Upstairs, you'll find an impressive owner's suite with a walk-in closet with built-ins, a spa bath with an oversized shower, an expansive vanity with two sinks, and a water closet, as well as two more ample bedrooms, a large laundry room, and a full hall bath. The top floor offers a striking family room with a built-in bar area, a dramatic fireplace wall, sliding glass walls to the front and rear roof decks for sunsets and outdoor gatherings, and a rare second powder room. A "green" extra- an EV charger in the garage will convey! Quarry Springs offers a guarded gatehouse, an elegant clubhouse with a catering kitchen and bar, a well-equipped gym, party rooms, and a beautiful outdoor pool. Outside, enjoy the dog park, walking trails, and a stunning waterfall and stream along the quarry wall. Please contact the listing agents to schedule a private appointment to see this in-model-condition and ready-to-move-in beauty. Note: county tax record SF is incorrect- did not include the top floor. Appraisal SF finished is 3350SF, not including the garage. (After entering through the guarded gatehouse, turn left and follow the road to 8197, a quiet spot with plenty of guest parking)
