Since the 2021 event, the community now features 29 single-family homes and 14 townhouses with large front porches and rear, alley-access garages. In addition to the many planned greenspaces and playgrounds, the neighborhood’s most recent addition is a spacious dog park and a new restaurant, Troni’s Italian Bistro, which will open in July in the Union Village Square that also has a bank, realty and senior center.
Built on a corner lot, the home’s design embraces the large porch concept with a wrap-around front porch and a covered side porch with access to a semi-private patio with a fire pit and pet lawn. The two-car garage, which is accessible from the side porch, has an unfinished, 600-square-foot second floor with a volume ceiling and a dozen windows. The garage and loft bonus room was designed for potential finishing with plumbing and elevator options.
Inside the main residence, the design allows for an open-concept floor plan under volume ceilings on all three levels and secluded bedrooms, all with private bathroom access — and a fifth bedroom option within unfinished space of the lower level.
The formal entry opens into the living room with a gas fireplace surrounded by quartz. A wide semi-open staircase leads up to the second-floor loft bonus room where three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are located. Two bedrooms share a full divided bath behind pocket doors, while the other bedroom has an en suite bathroom with walk-in shower.
Back on the main level, the living room transitions into the combined kitchen and designated formal dining area. French doors open from the dining room out to the wrap-around porch. A 7-foot island offers seating for up to eight along the extended granite counter and has hidden storage cabinets as well as a deep sink. White cabinetry fills a wall around windows and appliances that include a Bosch gas range, dishwasher and microwave. There is a pantry closet and a pantry cabinet next to the refrigerator nook. Hardwood flooring flows throughout the main level; and crown molding accents the 10-foot ceilings.
Off the dining room, a mudroom has a built-in locker nook and cubby storage. A door opens to the side covered porch and fenced side yard. Continuing off the mud room is a half bath, a separate laundry room behind a pocket door, and access to the first-floor primary bedroom suite. Double doors open off the bedroom into the bathroom, which has a walk-in, ceramic-tile surround shower; a double-sink vanity; a free-standing soak tub below a window; and a walk-in closet with a built-in dresser, cabinets and storage.
Off the kitchen, a wide semi-open staircase leads to the lower level, which has been finished into a media room and recreation room. Brick accents the wall space above the wet bar area, which has a granite counter, beverage cooler and cabinetry. Another brick-accented wall highlights a dry sitting bar space with a granite counter and stool seating. A large egress window fills the recreation room with natural light; and a tray ceiling is above the billiard area.
A hallway from the recreation room leads to a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. A door opens to unfinished space, which could be a fifth bedroom but is currently set up as an exercise area. Another door opens to unfinished storage and the home’s mechanical systems.
