Set on 2.56 wooded acres beyond the fenced front entrance to Patrick Commons, the 3,247-square-foot Asher offers a rare combination of privacy, flexibility and everyday comfort. Mature woods create natural separation from neighboring homes, giving you room to entertain, work, recharge and enjoy the outdoors in your own private setting. Its one-and-a-half-story design places three bedrooms on the main level, including the primary suite, while an upstairs fourth bedroom with a full bath and closet creates a private retreat. At the center of the home, the kitchen, breakfast area and great room flow together so conversations continue from morning coffee through dinner and evenings by the gas fireplace. A substantial island, farmhouse sink, five-burner gas cooktop, wall oven and microwave combination, generous cabinetry and walk-in pantry make cooking and hosting feel effortless. The covered rear screen porch with additional deck invite you to slow down, dine outside and take in the wooded view, with enough land to envision a pool, garden, play area or quiet backyard escape. A flexible front room can become a home office, library or music room, while the formal dining room gives special occasions a place of their own. End the day in a serene main-level primary suite with a large walk-in closet, dual vanities, freestanding soaking tub and oversized tiled shower. With four bedrooms, 3.5 baths and a two-car garage, the Asher offers the ease of main-level living within an intimate, exclusive enclave.
