Introducing this rare, custom-built, all-brick masterpiece located in the highly desirable Somerset Courts neighborhood! This exceptional 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home with a heated 3-car garage was built to the highest standards and has been meticulously maintained by the sole owners. Hardwood floors grace most of the home (built on 12" solid joists instead of standard 10" joists for a solid feel and no creaking), and extensive windows and skylights flood the home with natural light. Step into the dramatic 2-story foyer, highlighted by a beautiful curved staircase. Adjacent to the foyer, you'll find a spacious living room with bay windows and an elegant dining room, perfect spaces for entertaining. The heart of the home is the open eat-in kitchen and family room. The gourmet kitchen features high-end GE stainless steel appliances (including a double oven and oversized refrigerator), an island with gas cooktop, butler's pantry, and new Anderson sliding doors leading to the patio for easy indoor-outdoor living. The cozy family room features a brick-surround gas fireplace flanked by custom built-ins. A first-floor bedroom with vaulted ceiling and skylights makes a great guest room or private office. A full bathroom and convenient laundry/mudroom off the garage complete the main level. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite includes a large bedroom with bay windows, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom with skylight, separate shower and jetted tub, and double sinks. Three additional generously-sized bedrooms share a full hallway bathroom with skylight and double sinks. The huge finished basement offers a whopping 2,000 additional square feet of living space, including a large recreation room with wet bar, billiard room with tray ceiling, office, gym, an updated full bathroom, and 2 large storage rooms! There is space for everyone and everything in this incredible home! Outdoors, enjoy dining alfresco on the expansive patio overlooking the fenced-in yard. The property is complete with a wifi-enabled, 5-zone sprinkler system. Heated 3-car attached garage with additional raised storage area. Numerous recent updates for peace of mind including: new furnace/AC/humidifier/UV air purifier (2019), new sump-pump with battery back-up (2021), new blown-in attic insulation with attic fan, new insulated front door with sidelights, new electrical outlets/switchers/dimmers, new exterior lighting, natural gas connection on the patio for propane-free grilling, and new Ring doorbell and cameras. Outstanding location close to popular shopping and dining along Rand Rd, plus top-rated schools: Olive Elementary, Thomas Middle, and Hersey HS. This quality-built, beautiful brick home is a rare gem - don't miss out!
