Welcome to this exceptional residence in the highly coveted Rapley Preserve of Avenel, where refined design meets effortless, resort-like living. Tucked away on the quiet circle and set on a private half-acre corner lot, this home offers an elevated sense of space, privacy, and convenience. A gracious wrap-around porch sets the tone, leading into a grand two-story foyer with soaring ceilings and beautiful natural light throughout. The main level unfolds with elegant ease, featuring a private home office and a stunning formal dining room with French doors opening to the front porch. Designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the formal living room showcases a gas fireplace and access to one of two expansive decks. At the heart of the home, the fully renovated gourmet kitchen is nothing short of spectacular. Completed in summer 2025 with the highest level of craftsmanship, it features two oversized islands, dual ovens and dishwashers, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf appliances, and a generous walk-in pantry. This thoughtful renovation also introduced a beautifully updated laundry room, a redesigned mudroom with access to the three-car garage and porch, and an additional powder room. The sun-drenched breakfast area flows seamlessly into the spacious family room, anchored by a striking stone fireplace and framed by walls of windows that invite in natural light. Upstairs, the serene primary suite offers a true retreat, complete with a gas fireplace, peaceful views of the private backyard and pool, and two expansive walk-in closets with custom built-ins. The spa-inspired bath features dual vanities, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and a separate water closet. Three additional bedrooms, each generously sized with en-suite baths and walk-in closets, provide comfort and privacy, while a large guest suite with its own staircase offers flexibility for visitors or extended stays. A charming loft adds versatility, perfect for a secondary office or study space. The lower level is designed for exceptional entertaining, offering a spacious recreation room with direct access to the backyard and pool, a playroom, a wet bar, wine storage, and a dedicated home theater. A sixth bedroom with en-suite bath and private exterior access is ideal for guests or live-in arrangements, while an additional bonus room offers space for a gym, studio, or office. The side-loading, temperature-controlled three-car garage is as functional as it is polished, featuring epoxy floors, built-in storage, and upgraded systems. Outside, the home transforms into a private resort-like setting, with multiple decks overlooking a heated pool with water features and ambient lighting, plus a generous grassy area for recreation and play. Enhanced by soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and thoughtful upgrades throughout, including a newer roof, generator, and more, this meticulously maintained home offers a rare opportunity to experience luxurious, elegant living in Avenel’s most sought-after community.
