Love, friendship, and rest are evident throughout this tucked-away "home sweet home" located at 18 Blue Fox Court on a picturesque cul-de-sac in the well-established community of Fox Fire, neighboring the Paper Mill Park and the expansive White Clay Creek State Park. Generously spacious, and delightfully comfortable, this stylish and meticulously cared-for contemporary-style residence provides an inviting retreat to family and friends alike. The thoughtfully landscaped outside and truly handsome stone-exterior face of this residence only hint at the many visual pleasures this home has to offer. You cannot escape the welcomed abundance of hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, over-sized windows, and the multitude of valuable spaces. Immediate features include a two-car garage and ample off-street parking, a grassy front yard, a recessed entry, a soothing rock fountain, and a bank of glass sidelights to the right of the front door. Inside you will discover an open turned staircase, and a generously sized living room with a vaulted ceiling adorned with a pair of skylights. The adjacent step-up dining room with chair rail provides a slider leading to one of the two screened-in porches this amazing home has to offer. Notable main-level highlights include a terrific eat-in kitchen featuring cherry cabinets, Staron solid-surface countertops, ceramic tile flooring, a color-coordinated tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher, a side-by-side refrigerator, and an electric range with vent hood above. Full-view French doors from the breakfast area lead out to the second and larger of the screened porches. Back inside, we invite you take notice of the glass-fronted divider cabinets which provide a wonderful way to stay connected with the adjoining family room featuring a wood-burning brick fireplace with a raised hearth. The full-view French doors in this popular room provide access to the raised Trex deck with freshly painted trim. A spiral staircase leads down to the patio below and hillside beyond. Additional main-level features of this enchanting property include a 13 x 12 bedroom, a full bathroom with stall shower, a laundry room, and direct access to the two-car garage. Not to be overlooked, the 16 x 14 upper-level owner's suite holds all the expected luxuries including a large walk-in closet, a built-in soaking tub, ceramic-tile flooring and surround, an impressive carved vanity, and a well-sized glass-enclosed shower with frameless glass doors. Two additional bedrooms and a shared split bathroom with a large double vanity and a shower tub and toilet complete the second level. A full walk-out finished basement is a big plus and can accommodate a variety of needs. Significant upgrades to this delightful home include a whole-house filtration system and a Trane HVAC system.
