Location? Check! Upgrades galore? Check Check! A 0.68-acre nature lover's sanctuary? You've hit the jackpot! You truly can have it all in this stunningly updated Glen Laurel retreat that offers the ultimate in privacy and convenience. The entry to this home sets the tone for what's inside: the blue stone front walkway guides you to a gorgeous custom front door that hints at the midcentury details that await you. Once inside, you'll immediately notice the light flooding in and the stunning vaulted ceilings that give this home an open and airy feel. Step into the updated kitchen, with bright white granite countertops, stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, upgraded cabinetry, and a wine fridge. Then follow the vaulted ceilings into the showstopper of a living room, anchored by a custom-designed wood and brick accented gas fireplace. If you're looking to enjoy nature or have a cookout for a few friends on a gorgeous evening, then take the party outside to your private, meticulously-landscaped backyard oasis. Here, you'll find the ultimate in comfort and relaxation: the back deck's covered pergola provides the perfect refuge from any weather and offers ample space for separate dining and seating areas that connect seamlessly to the grill deck. As the temperatures start to drop, make your way to the upper stone patio, where the woodburning firepit is the perfect place to make smores and take in the stars. When you're ready to call it a night, retreat to one of your TWO primary suites, each with ensuite bathrooms featuring glass showers with floor-to-ceiling ceramic tiles. The home features two more generous bedrooms and one more full bath. A fully finished downstairs living area -- currently outfitted as a gym -- completes the space and opens onto another private patio. And the best part is that all this privacy comes with incredible convenience: you can leave your car at home in your air-conditioned, extra-deep two-car detached garage, as you have easy access to Stough Elementary just down the street, the Crabtree Creek Greenway Trail, The Optimist coffeeshop, multiple restaurants, and Crabtree Valley Mall. This is truly a special home for those looking to be in the heart of it all while getting away from it all.
