Contributing Writer
Redesigned and renovated, this two-story home has spacious social areas, a first-floor main bedroom, upstairs family room, a remodeled kitchen and dining room and a back yard oasis.
Listed for $539,900 by Sibcy Cline Realtors, the cedar-sided home at 507 Timberlea Trail in Kettering has about 4,100 square feet of living space. The house sits on a 0.79-acre lot with stone-accented gardens, stone walkways, a three-car garage, a stone patio, in-ground heated swimming pool with sun sails, a hot tub cabana with tin roof, and a pergola with a stone gas fire pit.
The back yard has wrought iron and wooden privacy fencing and the yard has an irrigation system.
The house has updated heating and cooling systems, updated carpeting and wood-plank ceramic tile flooring, skylights, and a stone fireplace.
Formal entry opens into a foyer, which is open to a redesigned floor plan of a media room and great room combination. Tucked into one corner is a wet bar with a wine cooler, glass shelves and granite countertop. The stone fireplace is accented by angled windows on each side, and track lighting encircles the cathedral ceiling of the great room and the media room ceiling.
French doors and a step down from the foyer lead into the formal living room or a music room, which has a vaulted ceiling. Broad spindles accent a loft library accessible from the second floor.
Off the great room is the redesigned kitchen with light hickory cabinetry that includes two pantries with roll-out shelves and added spice shelves that flank a granite buffet counter. A two-level island can seat six and has a five-burner gas cooktop and trash compactor.
A stainless-steel sink is below a window, and granite countertops are complemented with mosaic-glass accented backsplash. There is a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a separate Sub-Zero freezer. Wood-plank ceramic tile fills the kitchen and adjoining dining room, which is a redesigned enclosed porch.
The dining room has a vaulted ceiling with wood-beam accents and skylights. Patio doors open to the rear patio and pool deck.
Off the kitchen is a laundry room with two folding counters and cabinetry. There is access to a half bathroom and the garage. A back staircase leads to the second-level bedroom suite. The finished basement over the garage has a private bathroom, closets and a second room, which could be a bedroom as it has a closet.
The main bedroom suite is on the first floor off the great room. The bedroom has patio doors that open to a private concrete patio. Double doors open into the expanded bathroom, which features a wood vanity with granite countertop and two stainless-steel bowl sinks and a ceramic tile walk-in shower with multiple shower heads. A pocket door opens into the walk-in closet with built-in organizers
The formal staircase leads up to the loft family room with a stainless railing with glass accents, skylights, ceiling fan and an office nook which has access to the loft library. There are two bedrooms and a full bathroom
