Most homes in Champion Forest offer a yard, or a pool. At 9703 Fenchurch Drive, you get both. Kids and pets will love the large grassy areas for running and playing. The entire family, plus friends and neighbors will enjoy the inviting pool and spa.
Enjoy pride of ownership as you drive Champion Forest’s tree lined streets. 9703 Fenchurch Drive is a lovely place to call home with charming curb appeal, spacious 4/5 bedrooms with gorgeous updates and a heated pool and spa for year- round outdoor living.
Champion Forest homes are prized for their uniqueness and architectural charm. 9703 Fenchurch Drive is a custom home with paver walkway and front patio for hosting the friendly neighbors. The iron railing provides a sense of privacy, and matches the Juliet balcony - both ideal places for colorful flower boxes.
The property offers a long, double-wide driveway for kids and guests to park. The garage is oversized with abundant storage options; open shelving, overhead storage and a wall of built-in cabinetry. In spite of the recent freeze, the yard retains its prized azalea shrubs, crepe myrtle trees, bird of paradise and agapanthus which provide colorful curb appeal from Spring through Summer.
The hardwood and leaded-glass front door has a fresh coat of SW Tricor Black paint, which is a nice contrast color seen throughout this beautifully updated home. The Foyer is a stunning combination of polished porcelain tile (Travertine pattern), crown molding and fluted door casements. The walls are SW Anonymous, a color chosen to accentuate the extensive millwork which is white enamel.
To the right of the Foyer is the Formal Dining Room, which would also be a fabulous place for a home office. New flooring, fresh paint and new French Door which opens to the front patio. 
What a dramatic, well appointed space to entertain family and friends. The chandelier compliments the warm gray color palette and beautiful floors. The room is spacious with 9 ft ceilings and natural light from the French Doors which overlook the front patio. 
The heart of the home is this huge Family Den which overlooks the backyard and pool. Windows flank the gorgeous, massive fireplace which the homeowners custom built, with marble surround and a massive handcrafted mantle. This space can be separated by Tricor Black French Doors for privacy, or opened to encourage an easy flow between the Den and Club Room - a sitting area in front of the wall of windows which overlook the gorgeous pool.
All first-floor rooms offer high, 9 foot ceilings and large windows which bathe the home in natural light. All recessed lighting has been upgraded to energy efficient LED fixtures with three color options; warm, cool and daylight. The fixtures are easy to change, which allows you to choose the type of lighting that suits your style and mood.
The Wine Bar is adjacent to the Den, offering abundant storage for wine glasses, champagne flutes and hi-ball glasses alike. The wood cabinets are burgundy in color and topped with tumbled tile counters. 
Of course, this well appointed Wine Bar includes a wine refrigerator to accommodate your collection. The antiqued sink works beautifully with the tumbled tile counters and new flooring. The window offers natural light and a glimpse of the outdoor festivities.
This open concept living area encompasses the Kitchen (behind), Breakfast Room and a Club Room sitting area against the wall of French Doors. This is where the home owners lived and created their best memories. Whether sitting for a breakfast or brunch, or grand scale entertaining, this unique space accommodates all. Entertaining friends is so delightful here - with space to nosh on appetizers, and a seating area for intimate conversations or morning tea.
This view, looking toward the large Kitchen, shows how functional, and fun this home is. The TV conveys with the home and is ideal for keeping the young ones entertained during breakfast or Lunch. 
This home offers incredible storage options, and that is certainly true of the Kitchen as well. Perimeter cabinets have been freshly painted with a durable oil based SW Eider White inside and out, and include pull-outs, dividers for sheet pans and drawers for cookware. Porcelain tile floor continues through this entire area.
The center island offers a stained/ sealed butcher block top and a gorgeous Tricor Black base which provides valuable storage and work surface. The new glass pendant lights illuminate the island and make a dramatic statement in this warm, on-trend Kitchen. 
This Kitchen is a Chefs delight, with everything necessary to prepare gourmet dinners or weeknight meals with ease. The suite of appliances includes a 5-burner Kenmore gas cooktop with down-draft ventilation, double Thermador ovens, Bosch dishwasher with stainless tub, Samsung French Door refrigerator and a built-in ice maker.
The new faucet has an integrated LED light which runs on hydro-power rather than batteries. That’s another smart, and beautiful feature that makes this home one-of-a-kind. The deep corner window offers a view of the lovely neighborhood, and is a smart spot for growing orchids and herbs.
The home owners added a filtered water faucet to create a coffee bar. This would also make a perfect buffet - with room for entrees, side dishes, and water glasses filled with, what else, but filtered water! The Tricor Black wall could easily be painted with Magnetic Paint to create a magnetic display wall. 
Under cabinet lighting helps direct light where you need it. And the LED rope lighting behind the crown molding creates a wonderful, calming ambiance at night. Granite counters, tumbled tile backsplash and black hardware complete the Kitchen.
The designer color palette continues into the Guest Bath, which works beautifully with the pedestal sink, toilet and storage cabinet. The floors are a handsome warm marble.
The ground-floor Laundry is spacious enough to make doing laundry a joy! Includes tons of storage, granite folding counter, stainless sink and a doggie door. The front loading washer, dryer and second refrigerator - are negotiable.
To the right of the Den is your Primary Bedroom. Here, the Repose Gray and wood floors create continuity with the remainder of the home, and add warmth to this spacious room. High ceilings, wall of windows and the French Doors bring in a soothing dappled light. The adjacent FLEX room was originally designed as a home Office, then converted into a third closet.
The FLEX space is shown as a work space, but would work beautifully as a Yoga Studio, Art Studio, Sunroom, Reading Room or Nursery. Note, the color palette and walnut floors continue in this room which works beautifully with the hardwood built-in bookcase, shoe / fabric shelves and the overhead wood beams. French Doors lead to a paver patio and the pool.
This view of the Primary Bedroom helps illustrate how large the space really is. There is ample room for seating and a TV. To the left is the work space / FLEX room, and to the right is the entrance to your en suite bathroom.
Look at this amazing storage! The freshly painted cabinets and drawers hold all your personal care products, linens, cleaning supplies, sweaters and much more. 
The en suite Bathroom was designed to mimic a hotel suite with a comfort-height granite counter, rich wood and iron accents and natural stone flooring. Sconce lighting, oversized framed mirrors and a long, double vanity offers plenty of functionality for a busy couple during the morning rush. You'll also appreciate the private WC and 2 walk-in closets.
The jetted tub provides a relaxing way to unwind after a long week. There is a water softener installed in the private courtyard to service this en suite. 
If you prefer a shower, you will love this beautifully tiled shower with all the fixtures you would expect from a luxury suite. This customized shower system covers you from head-to-toe with overhead Rain Shower, Body Sprays, wall-mounted Head and a hand-held shower wand.
The stairs and railings were recently sanded and painted with oil-based Tricor Black from Sherwin Williams. At the top of the landing you step onto new, plush stain resistant Prestige carpeting. 
Upstairs you will find this fantastic Game Room with 13 foot vaulted ceilings, wood beams, hardwood floors and LED lighting. This space is very comfortable due to the tall ceiling height, new neutral paint and oversized windows with new blinds. The floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace has a gas starter and freshly painted mantle. 
The refreshment bar has everything you need to host game night (or the Super Bowl) in style. The freshly painted cabinets (SW Anonymous) provide tons of storage and the granite counters offer room for preparing popcorn or serving pizza. There is a working sink and mini-fridge to complete the space. Note: The nearest bedroom is a 2-room suite which would make an excellent In-Law or Guest Suite. And in that case, this sink and fridge would be very handy.
Another view of the spacious, upstairs Game Room. This could easily be used as a Media Room or home gym as well.
There is plenty of room for a game table and seating in this room. The closet to the right of the bar measures 7 x 5 with adjustable shelving to store gaming consoles, media equipment, board games and refreshment supplies. This home has everything you need.
This upstairs Bedroom is to the left of the landing, and has an adjacent FLEX room. Custom built bookcase and cabinets help keep you organized, while the new, plush carpet keeps you comfortable. Double pane windows, solar screens and new ceiling fans in all upstairs bedrooms will help keep you comfortable while lowering utility costs.
This view shows the large walk-in closet with built-in storage. To the right, is the FLEX space which could be an additional Bedroom, play area or study room. These 2-rooms would also make a very comfortable In-Law or Guest Suite, with one room as a Living Area and the other as a Bedroom. This would also be a great space for returning college students. There is an en suite off the second room.
This FLEX room includes new paint, carpet and lighting, and offers so much possibility and functionality. The door to the right is a "Texas Basement" with attic storage. The attic space could be enclosed to make a private closet if you wanted to use this room as an additional Bedroom. To the left is your en suite Bathroom
The en suite is a full, private Bathroom with built-in storage, granite vanity, fresh paint, oversized mirror and a combination tub / shower. 
Every Bedroom upstairs offers unique characteristics. This middle Bedroom has custom built-ins with open shelving, cabinets and a desk. The Juliet balcony provides natural light, fresh air and a view of the front yard. New paint, carpet and ceiling fan complete this room.
The 2nd and 3rd Bedrooms both have access to a Hollywood Bathroom. There is an impressive amount of storage in this Bathroom. Between the double vanity with cabinets and drawers, to the wall of cabinets, there is room for everything. The adjacent room is a private WC with combination tub/shower and a window for natural light.
The last upstairs Bedroom is also spacious and includes new paint, carpet and ceiling fan. What is unique about this room is the custom built-in desk, 2 walk-in closets (left and right) and a bonus 9 x 8 FLEX space with a cedar lined closet. 
The home owners used this 9 x 8 FLEX space for holiday storage and off-season coat storage, but it could be used in so many ways - for studying, exercising, gaming, meditation or craft room. Like I said, this home is so special and offers incredible functionality!
The pool includes multiple, adjustable jets and a waterfall feature which provides a wonderful soothing sound of water throughout the yard.
There is plenty of room for kids and pets to play in this backyard.
Note the extensive use of pavers on the patio and surrounding the pool. 
The raised spa is heated and will seat a lot of friends. The back yard is fully enclosed with an 8 foot fence that offers you security and privacy. The fence has just been power washed.
Look at all the planting opportunities. There are two circular planting beds, an arbor for growing flowering vines, and grass for the kids and pets. Note the water feature near the covered patio area.
The pavers create a large patio for entertaining friends, grilling with the family and just relaxing under the sun. The pavers continue over to the French Doors which lead to the Primary Bedroom and FLEX space.
What a beautiful view of the backyard oasis. The salt-water pool is heated for winter enjoyment and offers jets and a waterfall feature. The pool equipment is located in a covered storage area out of sight.
