This is home. 538 Ansley Street presents a thoughtfully designed newer construction home (2016) where timeless finishes, modern convenience, and effortless indoor-outdoor living come together in the heart of Oakhurst. From its picturesque curb appeal to its carefully curated interiors, the home strikes a balance between refined design and everyday livability. Walk through the garden gate to soak in the pastoral vibes of the sweeping front yard and relax on the blue flagstone porch. Inside 10-foot ceilings, expansive windows and wood floors create a light-filled, open feel throughout the main level. Beyond the front door is a grand entry foyer with a separate, convivial living space and a private guest suite/office with a full bath is just beyond. The formal dining room is accented by elegant windows, molding and a classic chandelier. At the center of the home, the kitchen is both functional and beautifully executed. Green shaker cabinetry topped with marble and quartz are complimented with professional grade Thermador & Kitchen Aid appliances. An oversized island with pendant lighting anchors the space for both casual mornings and larger gatherings. The ultimate function sits at the back of the kitchen with a walk-in pantry, family planning center and mudroom. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room, where the tailored fireplace flanked by custom built-ins create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Through the glass door is the screened porch—an exceptional extension of the living space that overlooks an English style garden with a fire pit. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a quiet sense of scale and comfort with a beautifully finished marble bathroom featuring dual vanities, and glass shower. The generous walk-in closet will inevitably become a secret favorite spot of the house. A well-appointed laundry room, on the same floor, with sink and cabinetry provides ease in a prime location. Additional bedrooms on the second floor include one with an ensuite bath and two connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, all with thoughtfully selected finishes. Out back, the newly fenced backyard offers space to unwind, play, and entertain. The gated driveway leads to the double carport with ample dry storage and is surrounded by mature landscaping in keeping with the rest of the property. This home offers a rare combination of comfort, design, and livability in one of Oakhurst’s most desirable settings that is literally steps to the village.
