Listing description

Searching for a high-end, custom, one-of-a-kind carriage home in a premier 55+ community? Your wait is over! Welcome to 650 Appaloosa Road, a truly exceptional, one-year-young McKee Builders Shannon model in the highly desirable Preserve at Marsh Creek.

You get the flawless feel of a brand-new build, enhanced by thousands of dollars in high-end, aftermarket value from day one. From the moment you arrive, the charming covered front porch leads you into a dramatic two-story foyer filled with natural light.

The heart of the home is a spectacular kitchen thoughtfully curated with contrasting Dove White perimeter cabinetry and an upgraded island. It features striking Calacatta Gold Silestone countertops and a top-tier appliance package: a 30” Wolf Professional gas cooktop, a GE Profile combination wall oven/microwave, and a Bosch 800 Series dishwasher. The Custom Value-Add: The owners completely transformed this entertaining hub by adding a custom dry bar/coffee station complete with wine storage, glass-front cabinetry, and under-cabinet lighting—a premium upgrade you won't find in standard layouts.

The main-floor primary suite is a luxurious retreat featuring an upgraded en-suite bath with a double vanity, Silestone countertop, frameless shower door, and designer tile. Value Highlight: The owners completely customized the generous walk-in closets with premium built-in organization systems.

Two guest bedrooms feature custom built-in closets, with one bedroom enjoying exclusive access to a private upper deck. The finished walk-out lower level truly sets this property apart. This expansive, bright space offers endless possibilities for a media room, home gym, or hobby space. It includes a sophisticated powder room, sizeable storage and workstation area, and sliding glass doors that open to a private, homeowner-installed travertine patio, seamlessly extending your living space outdoors.
