About 3812 Somerset Drive
A rare opportunity to own a coveted one-level ranch home in the desirable Hope Valley Country Club area—just a short distance from the Donald Ross-designed golf course and the historic clubhouse. This inviting residence truly has it all. You'll never need to look any further, as this home is an entertainer's dream offering incredible flexibility throughout. The culinary centerpiece of the home—the kitchen—is a chef's delight, featuring a massive island, six-burner gas range, indoor grill, electric range, and warming drawer for an exceptional cooking and dining experience. The vaulted-ceiling family room, enhanced with new lighting and sliding doors that open to either a courtyard deck or a cozy screened porch, provides wonderful indoor-outdoor living options. The professionally landscaped grounds offer both beauty and privacy, creating a magical setting for entertaining or relaxing. The primary suite boasts a custom-designed walk-in closet, a zero-entry shower, a large soaking tub, and tranquil wooded views of the private, thoughtfully designed backyard accented by graceful magnolia trees. Additional highlights include an oversized garage with Polyurea-coated flooring, a whole-house generator, tankless water heater, landscape lighting, and exquisite plantings—all part of a thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained home in the heart of Hope Valley!
