38 Royal Dornoch Drive

There is a particular ease to a well-planned bungalow; this 2022 build has it in full. Layered landscaping frames the front walk beneath a covered stone entry, while protected Kettlecreek Trails begin steps from the door. A wide concrete driveway leads to the attached 2-car garage. Out back, a pergola shelters a raised deck stepping down to an expansive stamped concrete patio, where cedars, hydrangeas & mature perennials turn a fully fenced yard into a private retreat. A tray ceiling & linear fixture introduce the foyer, where warm white oak hardwood begins & carries uninterrupted through the main floor. Off the entry, a versatile front room serves as home office or bedroom, w/ a second bedroom & 4-piece bath alongside. Beyond, the open kitchen, living & dining space anchors the plan: an oversized quartz island, brass-capped pendants, gas range, subway tile backsplash & a frosted sliding barn door opening to a walk-in pantry. The island's white oak & the wood-wrapped range hood echo the flooring, drawing warmth through a crisp palette, while a linear fireplace set into a full-height tile surround grounds the living room. A servery bar sits opposite to the kitchen, its cabinetry & floating shelf continuing the same thread, featuring a second sink and quartz countertop that make hosting effortless. California shutters, throughout, give every space its own control of the light. The primary suite offers a recessed ceiling detail, walk-in closet, 5-piece ensuite w/ soaker tub & separate glass shower, & sliding doors to its own private deck. Main-floor laundry completes a level designed to be lived on entirely. Downstairs is a full second living space rather than an afterthought. A generous family room opens to a den w/ the home's second electric fireplace, while an additional bedroom, exercise room & 5-piece bath create exceptional lower level flexibility. A turnkey bungalow that lives easily & sits within one of St. Thomas' most desirable newer neighbourhoods. (id:18668)
