Property Description

Some homes are easy to admire. This one is simply impossible to forget Nestled among flowering trees and thoughtfully placed landscaping, the inviting front porch and handsome stone accents create a memorable first impression long before you step inside. Once through the front door, natural light pours through walls of windows, illuminating gleaming hardwood floors and gracious living spaces that feel both sophisticated and comfortable. Traditional formal rooms offer timeless appeal, while the expansive main-level office, complete with a reach-in closet, provides flexibility for today's lifestyle and tomorrow's needs. The main level powder room proves that even the smallest spaces can leave the biggest impression. At the center of the home, the dramatic great room commands attention with soaring 10 ceilings, custom built-ins, and a stunning stone fireplace that anchors the space. Just beyond, the beautifully appointed kitchen is equal parts beauty and function, featuring quartzite and granite countertops, a designer backsplash, gourmet appliances, and a walk-in pantry that is practical and impressive. Step outside to discover a charming stone patio overlooking a grassy rear yard framed by mature trees, creating the perfect backdrop for everything from quiet mornings to lively weekend gatherings. Upstairs, a versatile loft offers endless possibilities while the luxurious primary suite serves as a true retreat. A wall of windows fills the space with natural light, while a private sitting room offers the perfect place to read, relax, or simply unwind. The spa-inspired owners bath has been thoughtfully refreshed with quartz countertops, updated lighting, new fixtures, an oversized walk-in shower, and serene designer finishes. Three generously sized secondary bedrooms, two stylishly refreshed bathrooms, and a well-appointed laundry room complete the upper level. The walk-up lower level delivers exceptional versatility with a spacious recreation room featuring custom built-ins, a full bathroom, abundant storage, and endless possibilities for recreation, fitness, hobbies, or entertaining. A noteworthy distinction: because the difference is subtle on paper but remarkable in person. The Grand Clara Bow's signature four-foot extension adds meaningful space to several of the home's most-used rooms, creating a larger great room, a more substantial main-level office with closet, enlarged powder room, a generously sized owner's retreat with a supersized walk-in closet, an oversized recreation room, and exceptional storage space that is so hard to find. This is a home that feels every bit as impressive as it looks. Beyond the front porch awaits everything that makes Brambleton such a beloved place to call home, from pools, parks, and trails to the Town Center, library, restaurants, and everyday conveniences just moments away. Some homes are easy to admire. This one is simply impossible to forget. ________________________________________ School Pyramid: Legacy Elementary, Brambleton AND Watson Mountain Middle School, Indy High School HOA Includes: Community package for Verizon FIOS C&I, 5 Pool Complexes, Tennis and Pickle Ball Courts, 15 acre Legacy Park and an Array of Pockets Parks, Over 10miles of paved Trails, Several Underpasses, Little Library Boxes, Seasonal Community Events, Trash & Recycling Program and so much more!!
