Stately brick-front Colonial situated on over half an acre in desirable Clary’s Discovery, surrounded by lush landscaping and offering exquisite indoor and outdoor living spaces—including a full in-law suite and pool. Step inside to find hardwood floors flowing throughout a traditional yet open layout, beginning in the grand foyer. To the left, the formal living room welcomes you with timeless elegance, while to the right, the formal dining room features a chair railing, a statement chandelier, and detailed wainscoting. The eat-in kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting luxury vinyl tile, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a central island with breakfast bar seating, a charming window bench, stunning tile backsplash, ample cabinetry, and direct access to the deck and laundry room. Hardwood floors continue into the expansive family room, highlighted by a soaring two-story ceiling, arched windows, and a cozy gas fireplace. Tucked off the family room is a convenient powder room and an exceptional main-level in-law suite or apartment featuring a sitting room or office with luxury vinyl tile flooring, a bedroom with built-in bookcases, a walk-in closet, and a full ensuite bath, and a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and private deck access—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, a lofted hallway leads to four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The opulent owner’s suite impresses with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, a sitting area, and a spa-like ensuite bath complete with dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, and a private water closet. Three additional bedrooms feature luxury vinyl flooring throughout. The fully finished lower level offers a spacious recreation room with an open layout, including a designated game area with a wet bar and built-in bench seating, a versatile bonus room, a storage room, and a full bathroom. Outdoor living shines with two Trex® decks (updated in 2021), a stamped concrete patio, a beautifully landscaped and fenced yard bordered by mature trees, with a storage shed, stone firepit, and a stepping stone path leading to a private, filtered, heated in-ground saltwater pool, also updated in 2021 with a stamped concrete surround.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
