About this home
New Updated price reduction. Welcome to Coveted Woodland Creek Manor - with Lake Forest Living. Enter this manicured subdivision and wind past lilacs and weigela to a stately all-brick residence, one of the largest models in the serene, deep-set enclave of Gloucester Crossing. This duplex estate pairs gracious scale with elegant design at every turn. A magnificent foyer welcomes you inward, where curved lines, angled ceilings, and soaring vaulted spaces create a striking interior architecture. Large open rooms flow effortlessly, ideal for both everyday living and grand-scale entertaining. The expansive white kitchen is crisp and refined, anchored by an abundance of 42" custom cabinetry, and crowned with a statement chandelier. A first-floor patio opens directly off the breakfast area, while a true mudroom-style laundry room sits conveniently nearby. The formal dining room pairs crystal chandelier lighting with timeless architectural detail. Just beyond, a custom-built beverage salon with built-in serving storage will delight any wine connoisseur or home mixologist - the perfect complement to the step-down family room. Cathedral ceilings and generous natural light define the main living areas, complemented by custom fireplaces in both the living and family rooms and rich, light hardwood flooring throughout. A first-floor full bath and a fourth bedroom or den - complete with built-in Murphy bed - offer flexible space perfect for guests, in-laws, or a nanny suite. The open living/flex room leads through glass French doors to a screened porch, offering an added layer of privacy on this premium homestead winding staircase rises to Juliet balcony overlooking the living space below.
