Why wait for new construction when you can move right into this stunning, custom-built 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home loaded with premium upgrades and elegant finishes? The spacious Waterford Model by Schell Brothers is thoughtfully designed for both comfort and style. Boasting 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a full basement with rough-in plumbing, this home offers endless possibilities. Basement is not finished because sellers did not agree with builder's design limitations. Inside, you'll find the highest level upgraded wood floors throughout and upgraded baseboard and trim molding that add richness and refinement to every room. The main level features a home office as well as an additional space that could be used as a dining area or another office, perfect for remote work or personal projects. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, complete with two spacious walk-in closets, a spa-like stand-up shower, and a jacuzzi tub for ultimate relaxation. The command center kitchen is a chef’s dream, showcasing an oversized island with granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including double wall ovens, a gas range with hood, and a cozy gas fireplace in the living room that ties the space together. Enhancing the ambiance are high-end interior lighting and chandeliers, as well as high-end ceiling fans that add both comfort and sophistication. Beautifully upgraded window coverings—including plantation shutters and rattan blinds—elevate the interior design, while wainscoting adds classic charm to key living spaces. Step outside to the expansive, full-length block/paver courtyard and enjoy the landscaped grounds, featuring additional trees, shrubs, and flowers for added privacy and curb appeal. The screened-in porch and beautifully hardscaped patio are ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings. Make your way upstairs on a fully upgraded staircase to the second floor where you'll find a versatile loft, three ensuite bedrooms with oversized walk-in closets, and a flex room, offering plenty of space for family or guests. Additional thoughtful touches include dual high-end tankless water heaters, a private well for irrigation, whole house wiring for security and technology, and high-end rubbed bronze hardware and plumbing fixtures throughout. The immaculate epoxy-finished garage floor comes fully equipped with a Giraffe car vacuum system for convenience and functionality and the laundry room features an upgraded sink package, ensuring a seamless blend of practicality and modern design. This home truly has it all: sophisticated craftsmanship, premium upgrades, and unbeatable convenience. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a brand-new home without the wait!

AR-1
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.
Permitted uses

Greenhouse / nursery
