518 Orchid Lights: Highly upgraded ranch home on exceptional lot
Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully considered and planned, from the exceptional outdoor entertaining areas to the fine interior appointments. This residence sits atop one of the rarest lots within the gates of Sun City Peachtree. Located on a quiet, established cul-de-sac away from main thoroughfares and where the sounds of nature can be easily enjoyed, the positioning of 518 Orchid Lights offers complete serenity and privacy. The houses to either side of the property are offset, therefore maximizing seclusion and allowing the gorgeous wooded view to be the showstopper it should be. In the warmer months, the natural forested area is breathtaking; and in the cooler months when the leaves have dropped, a majestic view of the 8th hole appears.
A beautifully manicured, carpet-like lawn is dotted with attractive landscaping. The fragrant blooms of azaleas, gardenias and roses induce a sense of calm, while the colorful foliage of hydrangea, yellowtips and flowering perennials add depth and dimension to the lovingly maintained yard. A professionally-installed four foot wrought iron fence, allowing access to the backyard via gates on both boundary lines of the property, secures and delineates the area as your very own private oasis. The programmable irrigation system makes this verdant space easy to take care of, and allows maximum enjoyment with minimum work.
The amazing rear lawn is fully viewable from several areas, including the sunroom, screened lanai and the patio. Within the sunroom, upgrades such as tile floors, crown molding and decorative columns add a sense of flair, while customized window treatments provide attractive energy efficient solutions. The screened porch allows the same sensational vistas, and is ideal for both entertaining and relaxing. Skylights let in natural light, while the fan and Cool Screens keep the temperature perfect in every season. Exiting the lanai places you on the extended patio, which is surrounded by a masterfully crafted stacked stone kneewall and includes a built-in outdoor kitchen area with a grill powered by natural gas. This layout makes casual get-togethers a breeze – perfect for post-game cookouts and family reunions. And the true beauty of these spaces comes from their versatility, as more formal occasions such as cocktail parties and holiday gatherings, are also suited well to utilize these areas.
The enormous attention to detail is seen in the home’s interior, as well. Silhouette shades are found in all of the rooms, custom solid oak hardwoods adorn many of the floors, extensive woodwork and built-in cabinetry is found throughout the residence and a specialized distributed audio system is installed in five of the rooms. Storage solutions were intelligently designed and are evidenced in the following: a fully floored attic accessible via a set of permanent stairs, the organizational system in the main closet of the Owner’s Suite, and the garage’s workshop. Behind-the-scenes detailing such as the recirculating hot water heater, programmable controls for both irrigation and the thermostat, double paned windows, three mirrored sun tunnels for maximum natural light, and a fully upgraded and insulated garage assure the home’s craftsmanship and guarantee energy efficiency.
Sun City Peachtree’s Vernon Hill plan is highly desired, and offers three bedrooms, two baths and a study. Open and flowing, the design is inviting and spacious. A gracious gourmet kitchen enchants chefs – highlighted by cherry cabinets, abundant task lighting, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Tilework is seen on the floors, backsplash and the bar. Smartly tucked away directly off of the kitchen, a full laundry room with cabinets, a folding counters and a utility sink makes even mundane chores a pleasure. And when it comes time to enjoy the fruits of your labor, many seating options are present, including the breakfast nook, the island and the formal dining room. Convenient, yet set slightly aside, the formal room is a very special place. Wainscoting, pillars and deep crown molding give an air of sophistication, ideal for parties and candlelight.
The Great Room showcases those wonderful and warm wooden floors, and is centered by a gas log fireplace. A home theater quality system is already in place, and features a flat screen television mount, installed surround sound and an additional subwoofer for cinema-like experiences. This room echoes the ambiance of the rest of 518 Orchid Lights – it can be formal or casual, as your needs and wishes change.
A perfect place for respite, the Owner’s Suite is a luxurious haven. New carpet (found in all of the bedrooms) provides comfort underfoot while touches such as the ornamental trey ceiling and surround sound speakers give a sense of prestige. Double doors lead into a spa-like master bathroom, where eighteen inch tiles greet you on the floor and additional tile surrounds the soaking tub and lines the walls of the separate glass-enclosed shower. Comfort height cabinetry holds his and her sinks and a water closet provides the ultimate in privacy. The guest suites are also uniquely wonderful – one is a traditional room cooled by a fan and sporting a spacious closet; the second room houses a beautiful built-in cabinetry unit with a desk and pullouts. Both can be used as sleeping quarters or as flex space. The guest bathroom is home to many upgrades, including tile floors, framed mirrors and an oversized tile shower with double bench seats. Separate from the three bedrooms, the formal study offers use as an ideal library or office, and is kept private by a glazed glass door. The distributed audio system can be enjoyed here as well, and built-ins provide attractive storage and work space.
Fully painted and insulated, the two car garage with a four foot extension is a masterpiece. Spacious and well-designed, upgrades are found throughout the area. Attractive textured epoxy flooring offers a clean, safe and easy-to-maintain base, and a dedicated workshop area allows ample room for projects. The controls for the lawn maintenance system are located here, and the garage is easily accessed by a wireless keypad.
518 Orchid Lights must be seen to be truly appreciated. It is not often that a home of this caliber and with this much attention to detail, comes onto the market. Please call Jessica Horton at your earliest to schedule a private showing.
