Unique opportunity to customize this fabulous 1.5 Story new home in Glendale. The home is being built by Scharf Custom Homes, known for their attention to detail and beautiful high end finishes. This home is walkable to N. Glendale as well as the coffee shop and deli across from Glendale City hall and just a bike or golf cart ride to downtown Kirkwood or Webster. It's truly the perfect central location with both Hwy 44 and Hwy 40/64 just five minutes away as well just blocks from all the conveniences along Manchester. The home itself is truly perfect for downsizers or someone seeking a large main level primary suite as these are fairly rare in Glendale. The charming exterior design showcases beautiful board-n-batten LP smart siding which is an aspen wood strand siding similar to Hardie but with greater impact resistance to hail. Additional stone accents across the front elevation are complimented by a stained wood front door and porch ceiling, and complementary accents on the garage doors and trim. This plan was custom designed for the lot and it really shows! Inside a primary suite features a large walk-in closet as well as a wet room with both a tub and shower. Also on the first floor is a powder room, and mud & laundry rooms that are immediately accessible from the two car attached garage. The sprawling kitchen includes a massive 9' island with enough seating for five guests and a large walk-in pantry. It overlooks the great room with views to the rear yard and patio as well as a perfectly placed fireplace. A large open dining room as well as a study round out the main level. Upstairs you'll find two more large bedrooms with a double bath and a loft that overlooks the two story entry way. And a finished lower level includes a huge recreation room, and additional bed and bath, and a serving bar. If you review the feature sheet you will find that built-ins in the study, wainscoting, selected wallpaper, and hardwoods throughout the majority of the home are standard Scharf features. It is still early on the process so there is still time to make cabinet and appliance selections, choose your paint colors, and select lighting and plumbing fixtures that suit your style. So here is your opportunity to work directly with Studio G Design and Scharf Custom Homes to create the home of your dreams! Be sure to ask your agent to download the specifications and floor plans or call/email Ginger and she will send them your way.
