This replica of the historical George Wythe home in Williamsburg could grace the cover of Architectural Digest. Prepare to be awed by the numerous upgrades in this custom-built 5 BD, 4 BA, 3 half-bath Chesapeake Woods home. Beautiful Flemish bond brick custom ordered from Virginia adorns the façade of this classic Southern homestead. The heated/cooled solid block foundation built level with the front porch prevents wood rot/mold. Cedar dentil molding embellishes the exterior while 2 x 6 construction plus extra insulation ensure a quieter home. Construction along with a geo-thermal HVAC result in remarkably low utility bills. Upon entry, the grand staircase is flanked by a billiard room and dining room with crystal chandelier and built in corner cabinet. Both rooms have gas log fireplaces. In the kitchen, the stainless Viking cooktop with pot filler, double oven, warming drawer, and fridge surround the quartz island where family gathers. Have morning coffee in the adjoining keeping room or plan the week's menu at the built-in desk. Leading to the garage, is the mud room with brick flooring, half bath, and sizable utility room. At the top of the back stairs is a large bonus room. The family room, accessed from the foyer or kitchen, boasts a walnut wet bar plus stone fireplace with gas logs (sealed); through wooden French doors you can view the outdoor covered porch. Imagine fall evenings cozied up to the natural fireplace under a Carolina moon. Located on the back side of the house is the owners' suite complete with marble en suite bath with separate sinks, private toilet, shower, jacuzzi, and 2 large walk-in closets (one converted to office). At the top of the stairs are bookshelves built to the ceiling perfect for the literary aficionado. Additionally, 4 bedrooms are on the second level, 2 with bathrooms, 2 share a Jack-and-Jill bath. Even further up the stairs on the 3rd level is a huge climate-controlled storage area with attic access all the way around the perimeter...insulated, of course. Outside is an impeccably manicured English garden perfect for a tea party and lovely backyard enclosed with brick and metal fence. Layered stone walls adorn the back beds while rare Asian blue tiles provide a walking path (extras for future expansion). A "pool house" with half bath, outside shower, and fridge allows kids to play outside for hours without traipsing in and out. On the backside is a storage garage for lawn mower and gardening supplies. The spacious 3-car garage is finished with Hardie® plank siding. Two Rinnai hot water heaters, 2-zone irrigation on separate meter, and French drain add to the efficiency. Built as a forever home, this is only available due to relocation.
