BETTER THAN NEW! Nestled on a private .27-acre cul-de-sac lot in the highly desirable Chesapeake Landing neighborhood on Lafayette's south side, this beautifully maintained two-story home offers nearly 2,600 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and an exceptional combination of style, comfort, and functionality. Ideally located just minutes from US-231, US-52, shopping, Purdue University, and within the Tippecanoe School Corporation district, this home provides both convenience and a welcoming neighborhood setting. The attractive front elevation showcases a blend of stone accents with horizontal and shake siding, complemented by craftsman-style pillars that frame the inviting covered front porch and create excellent curb appeal. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer opens with French doors leading to a formal dining room that could also serve as a den or office, highlighted by a tray ceiling, while the impressive two-story great room features a gas fireplace with tiled surround and a wall of soaring windows that fill the space with natural light. The great room flows seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen offering abundant cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large peninsula island with raised bar-top seating, stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting, tiled backsplash, and a built-in buffet with glass cabinet doors, along with a spacious dining area positioned perfectly between the kitchen and great room. Double atrium doors lead to a 12x12 covered porch and an additional 12x12 open patio overlooking the backyard, creating great spaces for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. The main-floor owner's suite features elegant tray ceilings, a large walk-in closet, tiled shower, twin sink vanity, separate stool area, and linen closet. Additional main-level amenities include a large laundry room with utility sink, extra cabinetry and closet storage, plus a convenient half bath and pantry. An open railing staircase with stylish iron balusters overlooks the great room and leads upstairs where you'll find two additional bedrooms, a full bath with dual sink vanity, and an impressive 18x16 bonus room that could easily function as a fourth bedroom, media room, or flex space. Additional highlights include an oversized three-car garage with inset utilities that allow for full use of the garage depth, a service door for easy backyard access, full yard irrigation, and a water softener, making this home an outstanding opportunity in a sought-after location.
