Granite countertops, wrought-iron railings, hand-scraped hardwood flooring, judges paneling and cherry cabinetry are a few of the builder upgrades to this two-story home, located within The Enclaves of Washington Twp.
Built in 2015 and listed by $399,900 by Irongate Inc. Realtors, the brick-and-plank home at 8713 Dowd Court has about 2,710 square feet of living space. The house sits on the curve of the continuous cul-de-sac with no rear neighbors. There is a three-car garage as well as a front covered porch and rear deck. The house is built on a full, unfinished basement, which has an egress window and is plumbed for a full bath.
Formal entry opens into a foyer with hardwood flooring that continues into the half bath off to the left. The flooring continues in the mud room and fills the kitchen and morning room.
To the right of the foyer, the formal dining room has judges paneling, crown molding and carpeting. Wrought-iron railing accents the semi-open staircase that leads to the upstairs.
Cherry cabinetry fills one wall of the kitchen, and a peninsula counter divides the kitchen from the morning room. An angled island offers breakfast bar seating and storage. Granite countertops are complemented by the glass-tile backsplash. Stainless-steal appliances include a gas range, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. Double doors open into a pantry closet, and a single door provides access to the basement.
The morning room has a vaulted ceiling and walls of windows. French doors open to the rear deck.
Flooring treatment divides the kitchen from the great room, which has a gas fireplace with wood mantel. A glass door opens from the great room into a possible study or hobby room.
The upstairs floor plan is flexible as one room could easily be an upstairs recreation room. Just to the right off the staircase are two bedrooms and a laundry room with wire shelves and vinyl flooring. The guest bath features a tub/shower and double-sink vanity, and a third bedroom is across the hallway from the bath.
At the end of the hallway is the main bedroom, which has a tray ceiling with ceiling paddle fan. A door opens into the private bathroom that features a ceramic-tile, walk-in shower with ceramic-tile seat, two shower heads and glass doors. There is a double-sink vanity with granite countertop, a walk-in closet and a toilet room.
Next to the main bedroom, double doors open into a large room without a closet. There are in-floor outlets and extra electrical service for media so the room could be an upstairs recreation room or possibility a fifth bedroom.
