About 688 Bent Willow Drive
Step inside this exceptional residence offering a rare blend of luxury finishes, a versatile layout, and a private wooded setting, all set on a 0.14-acre lot backing to trees. Beyond the open-concept main level, the second floor delivers what similarly priced homes in the area don't: a dedicated 17'7" x 11' den, ideal as a home office, playroom, or media room, giving you the flexibility of a fourth living space without sacrificing the oversized bedrooms this home is built around. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious 17'9" x 12'8" bedroom, a private en-suite bath, and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms offer exceptional size, and a conveniently located second-floor laundry room keeps daily life simple. Downstairs, the open-concept floor plan creates an inviting atmosphere, accentuated by wide-plank wood-look flooring, extensive crown molding, and an abundance of natural light. At the centerpiece of the home is a fully upgraded kitchen designed for ultimate efficiency and style. White shaker-style cabinetry is equipped with convenient roll-out drawers and trays for effortless organization, complemented by elegant gold hardware. Sleek quartz countertops, a white subway tile backsplash, and a deep white farmhouse apron sink with a gooseneck faucet anchor the space. Cooking and prepping are a breeze with a complete suite of Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, featuring a gas range with a pyramid hood, French-door refrigerator, dishwasher, and a seamless built-in microwave drawer. The expansive center island features breakfast bar seating for three and serves as both a prep station and gathering hub, beautifully illuminated by dual brushed gold open-cage lantern pendants. Just off the kitchen, a dedicated Prep Pantry with custom Closets by Design cabinetry offers tailored shelving, built-in drawer storage, and counter space for small appliances, keeping the main kitchen clutter-free. Adjacent, the formal dining and living spaces feature custom architectural millwork, including picture-frame wainscoting and built-in display shelving, with the dining space anchored by a statement Arhaus chandelier. Additional highlights include custom Closets by Design storage systems throughout, recessed lighting, integrated ceiling audio in the living space, a smart electronic keypad entry, and a wooded backyard offering privacy rarely found this close to the neighborhood's amenities.
