Fantastic opportunity in Parkside in Dr. Phillips! This 2013 Meritage home has an amazing view backing up to green space with a private gate to access, an upgraded pool, over $120,000 in upgrades, energy efficiency, a dream garage, and more! Technically 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, it includes a study, a large closet, and a half bath on the first floor that could be easily be converted into a mini-suite for a 6th bedroom. As you enter the foyer, the formal dining with tray ceiling and wainscoting greets you to the right, with attached butler's pantry with quartz counters connected through to the kitchen. The study off to the left includes concealed power and network connections and extra insulation for extra solitude and focus! The formal living room overlooks a gorgeous patio & pool area adjacent to the chef's kitchen, with ample natural light coming in all along the rear of the home. The kitchen boasts solid wood cabinets, a huge single-piece Silestone Quartz island with eat-in bar stools, and a walk-in pantry. The casual dining area overlooks the pool with French doors (another builder upgrade). The master suite has no second floor above, keeping it quiet and private. The spacious bath includes a walk-in shower, garden tub, his and hers vanities, quartz counters, and a walk-in closet that conveniently connects to the laundry room! Adjacent to the master is a unique, convenient, and functional workspace, an owner favorite, with quartz counters. Upstairs includes a large family room, large wet bar with granite counters, 2 bedrooms with a jack-and-jill bath between them, split from two additional bedrooms with a guest bath on the other end. Closets and storage everywhere! Even a 7'x8' storage room. The rear covered patio runs the entire width of the home, a premium upgrade from the builder, with a brick paver pool overlooking private green space! And we cannot forget the dream garage, spacious 3-car bay with premium epoxy floor. The home is Energy Certified with very low electric cost, even in the heat of summer! Both air handlers new in 2019, as well as new carpet and interior paint. An added bonus is there are speakers throughout the first floor of the home ideal for entertaining.
