Vacation destination living right at home. That’s what this spectacular property offers in the prestigious Four Bridges Golf Club community in Liberty Township. The 3,300 sq. ft. home in the Lakota School District is listed through Re/Max Results Plus at $499,900.
The stone-and-brick house sits on less than half an acre and overlooks the 5th fairway. The home offers many extras for those with discerning tastes. Nine-foot-plus ceilings and wide expanses of windows make the most of the golf course view.
The kitchen is a stunner and has anything a gourmet cook could desire: custom cherry cabinetry, tile floor and backsplash, Corian countertops with undermount double sink and all stainless-steel appliances. The open air deck is just steps away from the eat-in kitchen through a set of French doors. Additional seating is available at the dual-level bar.
Guests can move easily between the kitchen and large living room, which also affords great views of the golf course through a trio of arched windows. Here, a gas fireplace is surrounded by cultured marble tile with a wood mantel and columns two stories tall.
Down the tiled hallway lies the expansive master suite, with neutral carpet, vaulted ceiling and two large walk-in closets. Just off the bedroom is the master bathroom. A garden tub with white tile surround sits beneath a stunning stained glass window. Two separate sinks — one with a vanity bench — and separate shower and water closet make up the rest of the bath. The room has both direct and indirect lighting and a coved ceiling.
A formal dining room and sitting area are just off the foyer. The dining area features a stylish chandelier and wall sconce lighting. A unique square bay window in the seating area could provide a comfortable windowseat-style place to settle down with a good book.
Also on the main level, the study provides a perfect place for a home office. The area is kept private with a set of French doors.
Up the custom staircase, with a cherry banister and turned wrought-iron balusters, are two large bedrooms, both with walk-in closets and neutral carpet. A full bath with a shower/tub combination and double vanity sinks is at the end of the hall. The bonus loft area is perfect for entertaining or a quiet reading nook. The loft and adjoining catwalk overlook the living room and front entry.
The unfinished lower level with concrete floor is enormous; a half-bath rough-in is provided.
With a first-floor laundry and many plant shelves offering ample locations for decorator touches, the house offers the best of the basics and desired extras. Custom woodwork, decorative arches and upgraded light fixtures are just a few of the many features this home offers. Even the doorknobs have been thoughtfully chosen.
Outside, the property is tastefully landscaped with ornamental trees and evergreen shrubs, offering four-season interest and low maintenance. An oversized three-car garage provides ample storage and plenty of room for the family car.
The house will be available for tours during an open house scheduled for Sunday, March 25 from 2 to 4 p.m. For more information, contact agent Gilda Carvajal-Richardson at (513) 236-0319.
