Welcome to 5514 Darschelle Drive in the beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood of Champion Forest.
The home is built on a generously sized lot with a large front yard, wonderful curb appeal and an easy maintenance tropical back yard. The home backs up to a wooded greenbelt so there are no back neighbors.
There is plenty of parking for family and friends. One of the 3 car garage bays is being used as a workshop. The entire garage is thoughtfully designed with abundant storage including soft close cabinets and a workbench. You'll feel as if you're driving into a showroom with sealed floors, baseboards, insulation and window shutters.
This custom home was built in 2001 and renovated from top to bottom in 2018-2020 including 3 new Carrier zoned AC units.
The front walkway is brick-lined and landscaped. As you approach the home you are greeted by the stained hardwood front door with sparkling leaded glass. Already you can tell - this is going to be a home of extraordinary quality.
In 2018 the homeowners took the first floor down to the studs, removed a few walls and rebuilt the home with modern materials and finishes. Note the premium, easy maintenance porcelain rectangular tiles which are used throughout the first floor.
The home is modern and yet retains the architectural charm and traditional style that makes Champion Forest homes so desirable. Note the graceful arches, crown molding, high ceilings, 10" baseboards and plantation shutters.
To the left of the Foyer is your Formal Living Room / Study and Dining Room. The wall between the formal spaces was removed to create this spacious 17 x 13 Dining Room suitable for grand scale entertaining.
The 12' high ceilings and natural light enhance the spacious feel of this room. Entertaining is easier and more enjoyable with direct access to the Butlers Pantry, gourmet Kitchen and Utility Room. 
As you approach the Den you see the red oak staircase which contrasts beautifully against the satin painted Kestrel Beige walls and 10" baseboards. All walls, trim, stair treads and balustrades have been freshly painted.
During the remodel, the Homeowners opted for the popular open hearth design. The firebox is lined with subway bronze tiles and is equipped with a functioning flue and NG hookup. The fireplace can be finished with traditional gas logs or a unique fire bowl to suit your style preference.
This room is a wonderful example of the Homeowners attention to details. Continuity of materials, finishes and architectural elements such as the graceful arches are signs of a well designed home.
The Den and Breakfast Rooms provide abundant natural light from the bay windows, upper glass and french doors. Both rooms offer relaxing views of the pool, spa, waterfall and wooded greenbelt. French Doors open to the covered patio, allowing you to expand entertaining space to the great outdoors.
The home offers 4 dining options; Formal Dining, Breakfast Room, Breakfast Bar and the covered Patio. This kitchen was fully remodeled in 2018 and offers sight-lines to the Den, Dining Room and Pool areas. 
Attention to detail matters as evidenced by this gorgeous hammered copper sink which was selected to compliment the custom painted Island and fireplace tiles. The filtered water dispenser also filters the ice maker near the Butler's Pantry. Smart choices and good design add great value to this one-of-a-kind home.
All new appliances were installed during the remodel. The Homeowners chose high-end stainless steel products and features that appeal to the gourmet Chef in your home. The commercial grade NXR gas range offers 6 burners and cast-iron grates with a continuous cooking surface which makes it easy to move pots from one burner to the next. The oven has a convection baking option and the vent hood offers quiet operation.
The Homeowners spared no expense in the Kitchen. Everything was replaced and the Kitchen was designed for efficient movement and maximum prep and storage space. Cabinetry offers soft close drawers and full-height cabinets - some are lighted for display items. Under cabinet lighting accentuates the marble / stainless steel backsplash and white quartz counters.
The galley between the Dining Room and Kitchen is designed with valuable serving space and smart, discreet storage. Glass front cabinets and soft-close drawers protect fine china and silver. To the right is the Utility Room with an ice maker and custom storage to keep glassware and linens out of sight. The double-door Pantry is seen on the left.
The Kitchen Island provides more valuable work space and has been custom painted to compliment the copper sink and fireplace tiles. The Island is topped with a beautiful grained granite counter, ideal for preparing baked goods. Note the porcelain tile floors which are both attractive and easy to clean.
Bay windows surround the Breakfast Room, providing natural light to this room, and the adjacent Kitchen. Adjust the Plantation Shutters to enjoy morning coffee and a view of the water features. 
This home offers 2 Master Suites - one upstairs, and this one downstairs tucked behind the Den. The room is grand in scale and offers plenty of room for a king-size bed, side tables and a sitting area near the windows overlooking the pool. Plantation shutters provide privacy on the windows - and the door which offers access to the pool for those midnight dips. 
You will appreciate the smart architectural features the Homeowners built into this Master Retreat. The "TV niche" originally built in the Den was captured and converted into a custom Master built-in with 8 dresser drawers and a large cabinet for you to store extra bedding. The top cabinetry was designed to hold a tv but also discreetly stores the media/AV/wifi and cable for the big screen in the Den. Recessed lights were installed in the tray ceiling which can be dimmed for reading in bed.
The Master en suite was designed to accommodate two during the busy morning rush. Dual vanities are comfort height and offer recessed sinks, oil rubbed bronze plumbing and light fixtures, tons of storage and full width mirrors. 
Another WOW feature of this home is this double walk-through shower for two. With dual sinks, 2 rain head showers and a private water closet, this is a luxurious bath designed to keep your marriage a happy one!
The shower is designed with coordinating porcelain tiles, glass block, 2 product niches, 2 bronze rain heads and a hand-held fixture for cleaning the shower and washing the pups.
Not to be outdone by that double walk-in shower, the Master walk-in closet is another impressive use of space. Smart design features include a custom built-in dresser with 15 drawers, framed full-length mirror, his/hers shoe shelves, storage bench and a window for natural light. 
The walk-in closet also offers a stepladder shoe rack and double rods for maximum storage.
Up the hardwood staircase you get a lovely view of the spacious Den and wooded greenbelt behind the home. Upstairs you will find a Gameroom, sitting area and three Bedrooms - one of which is a 2nd Master Suite. 
Upstairs, overlooking the 19' high Foyer, is a sitting area. This is a great space for guests to relax or read, and would also be a great place for a desk that kids can use for homework and gaming. Note the recessed lighting and deep art niche.
During the remodel, this area was converted from 2 rooms to make a large, comfortable Gameroom. The neutral color palette continues upstairs with freshly painted walls, trim, molding, ceilings and doors. 
Your kids and guests will love this upstairs living space. Plantation shutters, recessed lighting and soft carpet complete this room nicely.
All secondary Bedrooms are spacious and offer ceiling fans, soft carpeting and large closets. This bedroom has an adjoining Bathroom and plenty of windows with private views of the pool and wooded greenbelt.
All Bathrooms have been freshly painted and updated with oil rubbed bronze plumbing fixtures and hardware to match the rest of the home nicely. 
This is your 2nd Master Suite, located upstairs on a private hallway separate from the other Bedrooms. This space is serene - and spacious with a bay shaped sitting area and large windows which afford a view of the pool and wooded greenbelt. 
The Guest Bath is well appointed with a tub / shower combination, a private water closet and a full size vanity and mirror. The room is nicely updated and includes a chandelier for a touch of spa-like bling. 
The walk-in closet is so big that the Homeowners daughter uses it as a Nursery when she comes to visit. However you choose to use this room, you'll discover plenty of space and hanging areas to accommodate your needs.
The french doors in the Den open to a covered patio and a breathtaking view of tropical gardens and trees. 
During the Summer months the yard is a tropical paradise with many flowering shrubs / trees in bloom including: Pride of Barbados (shown), Bird of Paradise, Bougainvillea, Ginger, Agapanthus, Cannas and more.
The Homeowners built this outdoor space for easy maintenance and maximum fun. A tall fence affords you privacy from the neighbors so you can enjoy gardening, swimming in the refreshing pool or spa, and cooking on your own outdoor kitchen with a premium Ducane natural gas grill.
At the opposite end of the yard is a one-of-a-kind zen fountain. Surrounded by black pebble, the fountain creates the soothing sound of a waterfall which you will find is a peaceful place to sit and relax. If you enjoy plants, this would be a wonderful corner for a Japanese garden.
An outdoor shower was installed with a hand-held shower fixture which is perfect for washing off the kids feet and bathing the pets. It's just one more unique feature that makes this back yard unlike any other on the market.
Your Outdoor Kitchen System offers sturdy brick construction with an easy to clean ceramic tile counter. The 3-burner Ducane grill offers cast iron grates and ceramic briquettes which capture food drippings and provide infrared heat. Use the warming tray for tender cuts of meat and the side burner for side-dishes. Hard plumbed to NG so you will never run out of gas.
The Homeowners built this storage unit on the side of the home to keep gardening tools, grilling equipment, pool toys and chemicals safe and dry. Double doors allow you to easily reach your tools and interior hooks keep everything in place. 
You have no rear neighbors so feel free to meander through your garden and out to the greenbelt which the current Homeowners use to walk their dog and practice archery. 
The woods provide privacy for the Homeowners and a natural habitat for deer which can be found roaming the greenbelt in the early morning.
Exterior updates include repairing slate tiles and cleaning / sealing the pool tiles. The raised deck near the Outdoor Kitchen is a "floating deck" which can be moved to suit your personal preference. 
What a beautiful place to entertain guests. And during the hot summer months you'll be envy of the neighborhood with your private pool, spa, waterfall and zen fountain. The chlorine pool has a new pump (2018) a new manifold (2019) a new fountain pump (2020) and was recently acid washed so you are ready for many care-free summers to come.
From every angle, this is a beautiful property to call your new home.
During the Spring and Summer months the perimeter gardens come alive with tropical flowering plants. Even during the colder months, the wooded greenbelt makes this a serene place to relax and call home.
