You will love this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath move-in ready home in Montclair's Southlake Community as soon as you drive in to the cul-de-sac. The inviting stone front porch welcomes you to sit a while and just enjoy the space. When you step inside, vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light welcome you with a stunning first impression. The great room features newly refinished hardwood floors (yes hardwood) and a wide-open floor plan. The view of the trees out the back windows is refreshing. Plantation shutters let you control the sunlight, and a gas fireplace is framed by built-in, floor-to-ceiling, white wood shelves - just waiting to be filled with your photos and keepsakes. Stylish ceiling fans ensure comfort throughout. Beyond the great room you will find a Dining Room space and a kitchen equipped with recessed lighting, granite counters, ample cabinetry, pantry, gas range, stainless appliances and a cozy breakfast nook with built-in seating - perfect for creating meal-time memories with family and friends. On the third floor new carpet runs throughout 3 bedrooms. The primary bedroom is large enough to fit all your king size furniture, has a walk-in closet and a very nice ensuite complete with dual-sink vanity, tile shower, and separate tub. The other 2 bedrooms are nice sized and have double closets. There is a full bathroom and linen closet too. A fully finished walk-out basement includes a recreation room, a large bedroom, a full bath, an office, and storage closet. The laundry room (washer and dryer convey) and mechanicals are located in the unfinished space. This level also has brand new carpet. The home's exterior is equally impressive. Highlights include that beautiful front porch and sitting wall, a Timber Tech composite deck, an architectural shingle roof (2018), a newly sealed driveway (large enough for 4 cars!), an exposed aggregate back patio, a fenced back yard, and a wood playground set. But wait, there's more! In addition to all the amenities that come with living within the boundaries of the Montclair Property Owners Association (access to 3 beaches, the lake, great playgrounds, dog park, and beautiful shared area) this home is also part of the Southlake Recreational Association. Just a block away you will find the playground, soccer field-size play area, tennis courts, and swimming pool - just in time for summer! This home is in the only part of Montclair that is zoned to the highly sought after Ashland, Benton, Forest Park school combination. Nearby amenities include the Montclair Library, Dairy Queen, Food Lion, local restaurants, day care and kids’ activities - you can literally walk to anything you need. A commuter's dream, the bus stop for DC commute is only about 1/2 mile from your front door and the nearest park and ride commuter lot is only 4 miles away.
