Refreshed with a contemporary, vibrant interior, enhanced LED lighting, and professional staging, this Stella Mare residence in Talega blends style and sophistication with a youthful flair. Nestled on an extra wide cul de sac homesite, the five bedroom layout is designed for entertaining, relaxation, and family living. The main floor includes a guest suite, a welcoming formal living room, a dining room that opens to an enclosed courtyard with its own fireplace, and a serene side yard surrounded by mature landscaping. The heart of the home features an open concept kitchen and family room with a breakfast nook. Recently remodeled, the kitchen showcases Montreal quartz countertops, a herringbone backsplash, and rattan bell pendant lighting. It includes a sit down center island, a KitchenAid appliance package with a 6 burner cooktop, built in refrigerator, double oven, dishwasher, and microwave. A butler's pantry provides additional storage and a walk in pantry. The spacious family room is complete with a stacked stone fireplace and built in audio video storage. Upstairs, an oversized loft serves as an ideal recreation center, surrounded by three guest bedrooms. Two bedrooms, currently used as offices, share a dual sink Jack and Jill bathroom, while the other guest bedroom enjoys an ensuite bathroom. The primary suite offers serene views of the surrounding hills and trees, a private balcony, and a recently updated bathroom with white shaker cabinetry, his and her vanities, a soaking tub, a walk in shower, and an oversized walk in closet. Also on this level is a laundry room with a utility sink. The exterior is enhanced with interlocking pavers, high quality artificial turf, and mature plants, creating a soothing, tranquil environment. Additional features include a whole house re pipe, a 3 car garage with storage and epoxy finished floors, and a leased water softener and reverse osmosis system.
