Property Description

Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac, from the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the mature trees and peaceful setting, confirming your unmistakable feeling that you just found something special. Step inside and you’re welcomed by hickory hardwood floors, natural light flowing through the main living area, and luxurious details at every turn. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with high-end stainless steel appliances, including a gas cooktop and double wall ovens, walk-in pantry with custom shelving (and future water rough-in), tile backsplash, under-cabinet lights that dance off the quartz countertops, a beverage fridge, and it’s all wrapped around a huge center island. Imagine the great meals and stories you’ll share here. Off the kitchen is the informal dining room, with windows offering backyard views in every direction. The living room is steps away, anchored by a corner gas fireplace with stone surround and custom home theater setup with in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. The dedicated home office, powder room, and oversized mudroom round out the main floor. Just off the kitchen and dining area is the maintenance-free Trex deck, with two stairways. There is also an additional door from the mudroom. Talk about a perfect spot for morning coffee, summer grilling, or pretending you’re going to start reading more books outside. Downstairs, experience the full benefit of the Trex under-deck drainage system while relaxing in your 8-person hot tub. The professional landscaping and low-maintenance native plants, in-ground irrigation system with Rachio smart controller, and the dramatic Mesabi boulder walls and landscape rock make your new yard beautiful and easy to maintain. No detail has been overlooked. Heading back inside and upstairs, the owner's suite sets the tone: box-vault ceiling, a walk-in closet with custom organization and enough space for all the clothes “you’re going to wear again someday,” and a spa-like en suite with separate soaking tub, true walk-in shower, double vanity, tile floors and surrounds, and a private water closet. Bedroom two has its own three-quarter en suite; a third bedroom sits near a full hall bath with double vanity; a fourth “bonus” room, now a cozy TV space, is a door and closet away from being another bedroom, and a laundry room with sink saves you from trips up and down the stairs. In the lower level, you’ll find a large, flexible family room (with a wet bar rough-in) that walks out to the backyard. Yes, you’re just steps from a dip in your hot tub. There is another bedroom, a full bathroom, loads of storage space, and thoughtful mechanical enhancements such as a 3-zone HVAC system, Aprilaire Steam central humidifier (add humidity without heat running), 75 gallon water heater, combination water softener and water treatment system, and a dedicated freezer circuit. You also want to know about the garage? Smart decision; it’s just as amazing as the rest of the house. This oversized 3-stall showpiece can likely fit any vehicle you throw at it, and still has additional “shop” space. It’s fully insulated and finished, including waterproof wainscoting and a full-coverage epoxy floor coating. It’s also heated and includes a floor drain and utility tub, an EV hookup, WiFi-connected garage door openers, and plenty of storage. Some additional features: solid-core doors, multiple surround sound layouts, hardwired Ethernet in many rooms and the garage for easy mesh networking, and 20” blown-in attic insulation (R60+). The seller even had a pre-listing inspection performed before listing. And location? Nestled between the Vermillion River and the greens of Southern Hills Golf Course, Providence is a perfect balance between country living and suburban life, only minutes from your favorite coffee, shopping, and restaurants, but still walkable to Stelzel fields and Town Hall Park. Just out your door are miles of connected trails. Welcome home to your personal retreat on Caravel Court.
