About this home

Built by Halcyon Homes with a blend of vintage French inspiration and modern design, 78 Optimist Drive delivers 2,635 square feet of thoughtful family layout and detailed craftsmanship. The main floor is centered around a massive ten-foot ribbed island, paired with cream and wood cabinetry, gold accents, and a hidden butler's pantry complete with checkered tile and a coffee bar. The kitchen opens directly to the dining area and great room, which features exposed wood beams, a sleek fireplace, and double French doors leading out to a covered patio. Upstairs, the primary suite features vaulted ceilings and an ensuite with a freestanding tub and barrier-free shower. Three additional bedrooms, a Jack & Jill bathroom, and a second-floor laundry room round out the upper level. Practical features throughout include hardwood floors, custom trim, a redesigned main-floor mudroom, dual laundry spaces, and plenty of storage. Located in Talbotville's Southwold community, you get small-town peace just minutes from London. (id:51075)
