This Craft-built home in Laureate Park shows like a model! From the minute you walk in, it just feels bright, open, and welcoming. The main living space is filled with natural light, and your eyes go straight up to three giant windows and the second-story loft, which gives the whole home an airy, open vibe. The kitchen is truly the heart of it all. There’s a huge quartz island that everyone will naturally gather around, plus stainless steel KitchenAid appliances — including an induction range that’s actually amazing to cook on. You’ve got tons of counter space, beautiful cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry that keeps everything organized without cluttering up your counters. It’s equal parts functional and impressive. There's even a cozy home office located off the kitchen with rolling barn-style door for privacy and convenience. Upstairs, the loft overlooks the kitchen and living area and adds that extra flex space everyone wants. It could be a home office, reading nook, playroom, second TV spot — whatever fits your life right now. It’s cozy but still connected to the main living area. The primary suite is conveniently located on the first floor and feels like a true retreat. The spa-like bathroom features dual extended vanities, an oversized frameless glass shower, double walk-in closets, and lighting that just makes the space feel calm and put together. Throughout the home, the details really stand out. You’ll find crown molding, recessed lighting, built-in speakers, Cat 5 Ethernet in every room, and 8-foot interior doors that make everything feel taller and more elevated. And for peace of mind and year-round comfort, there are two brand-new air conditioning units already in place. Also, if you prefer more neutral kitchen cabinets, seller is open to having them professionally recoated to a color of your choice. Step outside and you’ve got options — relax on the charming front porch or unwind on the screened-in back patio. Morning coffee, evening wine, weekend hangs — it all works here. Living in Laureate Park means the lifestyle matches the house. You have access to a resort-style pool, tennis and pickleball courts, sand volleyball, a fully equipped fitness center, community garden, and playgrounds throughout the neighborhood. It’s the kind of community where you can actually get outside and enjoy where you live. Plus, you’re conveniently located near 417 and 528 (the Beachline), with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and everything you need. If you’ve been looking for something that feels upgraded but still comfortable and livable — this is it.
