Welcome to 2444 Morning Ridge Lane in the exclusive Arbor Gate section of the master planned West Ranch community. This two story home features a stucco and natural stone elevation with keystone accents and gracefully arched windows.
Follow the path between meticulously cared for rock lined flowerbeds with bursts of annual color to a covered front porch with old-world style carriage lights flanking the Mahogany front door with fluted glass and scrolled iron detailing.
Enter the foyer, bathed in natural sunlight with front to back views, to a soaring ceiling with iron candelabra chandelier, fully cased lighted art niche, handsome hickory hardwood floors, and a grand split staircase with double Tuscan scroll balusters.
French doors with beveled glass detailing open to the left of the foyer to reveal this stately study with an incredible wood accent coffered ceiling, lighted ceiling fan, hardwood floors, and a front facing window dressed with thick casings and 2 inch blinds.
Opposite the study, an inviting dining room showcases a commanding 9 light scrolled iron chandelier, crown and chair rail molding, neutral paint, continued hickory hardwood floors, and a pair of Palladium windows overlooking the front yard.
A fully cased gracefully arched doorway leads from the dining room to this butler's pantry, offering upgraded granite countertops, a grey tile backsplash laid in a brick pattern, wine storage, raised panel drawers, and glass front display cabinets.
Continue to this magnificent kitchen, boasting a large center island with stylish Alaska White granite counters, a deep, single basin sink, gooseneck pull down faucet with on demand hot water, continued hardwood floors, and a trio of pendant lights above.
Designer raised panel 42 inch cabinetry with an inked finish and under cabinet lighting surrounds the stainless appliances in the kitchen, including double convection ovens, a built-in microwave, and a 5 burner gas cooktop with a pot filler above.
Enjoy casual meals in this sunlit breakfast room, offering a custom built hutch, recessed lighting, hickory hardwood floors, garage and backyard access, and a trio of cased windows shaded by 2 inch blinds overlooking the large backyard.
A series of arched openings lead through this open floorplan into the grand family room, with a soaring ceiling framed by crown molding, large art display niches, and a wall to wall arched window with views of the covered back porch and pool sized backyard.
An alternate view of the family room highlights the hickory hardwood floors throughout the first floor, as well as the corner set gas log fireplace with an elegant cast stone surround and hearth. The master suite and half bath lie just around the corner.
A master suite is truly what this home has to offer! A secluded sitting area is separated from the bedroom by a wide arched doorway and features a trayed ceiling with recessed lighting and crown molding, and a pair of cased windows with 2 inch blinds.
Beyond the sitting area, the master bedroom boasts an elevated gambrel ceiling trimmed with crown moulding, a stylish lighted ceiling fan, neutral paint, continued hardwood floors, and a compilation of windows with an arched top and 2 inch blinds.
Relaxation awaits in this spa-like master bath with dual Blanco Gabrielle granite top vanities with undermount basin sinks, inked cabinetry, framed mirrors, stylish lighting, and beautiful herringbone laid tile floors.
Enjoy a long soak in the deep garden tub beneath a rainfall glass privacy window, or for a quick rinse, hop into the glass door shower with bench seat. Also be sure to check out the large closet with custom built-ins.
Ascend the split staircase to this impressively sized upstairs gameroom, offering an elevated gambrel ceiling, recessed lighting, dual lighted ceiling fans, plush carpet, walk-in attic access, 2 game closets, and a trio of windows with 2 inch blinds.
A Jack & Jill bathroom leads from the gameroom to the first of three secondary bedrooms on the second floor. This room highlights a lighted ceiling fan, neutral paint, plush carpet, a front facing window, and a roomy walk-in closet.
This Jack & Jill style bathroom is one of two similar bathrooms on the second floor and features a granite top vanity with undermount rectangular basin sink, framed mirror, stylish lighting, tile floors, and a combination bathtub and shower with tile surround.
Another secondary bedroom offers a lighted ceiling fan, neutral paint, plush carpet, direct Jack & Jill bathroom access, a walk in closet, and window with 2 inch blinds. Not pictured is one additional bedroom and Jack & Jill bathroom.
The fourth and final bedroom in the home offers an elevated gambrel ceiling with a lighted ceiling fan, a neutral paint selection, plush carpet underfoot, a roomy walk-in closet, a window shaded by 2-inch blinds, and a shared Jack & Jill style bathroom.
The Jack & Jill style bathroom boasts two separate granite top vanities with undermount basin sinks, oil rubbed bronze hardware, inked cabinetry, framed mirrors, stylish lighting, tile floors, and a combination bathtub and shower with a tile surround.
Step outdoors and enjoy the covered patio complete with tile paver flooring laid in a brick pattern, lighted ceiling fan, wired sound, and gas line to add a gas grill. Imagine backyard barbeques with treasured friends and family!
An extra large backyard on a 0.26 acre lot is a rare find in the West Ranch neighborhood! Dream big and create a backyard oasis with a sparkling swimming pool between the existing landscaped and mulched flowerbeds or just enjoy the room to run!
