Welcome to 72 Optimist Drive in Talbotville-an exceptional two-storey home built by Don West in 2023 where no detail has been overlooked. With striking curb appeal, a fully fenced yard, and an attached three-car garage, this home blends luxury, comfort, and everyday functionality. Step inside the bright, inviting foyer and immediately appreciate the warmth and elegance of the open-concept design. Just off the entrance is a versatile front-facing bedroom or office, along with a convenient two-piece bath-perfect for guests or working from home. A thoughtfully designed mudroom with direct garage access adds everyday ease and organization. The living room is the heart of the home, featuring soaring ceilings that make the space feel grand and open, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace. The kitchen is equally impressive with quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, and a spacious walk-in/butler's pantry, offering both style and practicality. The sun-filled dining area overlooks the backyard and provides direct access to a partially covered deck-ideal for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. The backyard offers plenty of space to create your own private oasis. The partially finished basement adds incredible flexibility, with room for a recreation area, office or den, an additional bedroom, and a four-piece bath. A separate interior entrance from the garage leads directly to the basement, allowing private access without going through the main living space-ideal for a tradesperson, added privacy, or multigenerational living.Upstairs features a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and four-piece ensuite, two additional bedrooms (one with walk-in closet and shared bath access), and convenient second-floor laundry. An open overlook to the living room enhances the bright, airy feel. This 4+1 bedroom, 4 bathroom home won't disappoint.
