Some homes just feel different the moment you pull up — and this one announces itself with clean mid-century lines, a striking charcoal-and-white palette, floating rooflines, and an architectural garage door that turns the whole facade into a statement. Behind that curb appeal is something increasingly hard to find: a genuinely turnkey single-level home that lives far larger than its footprint, on one of the most versatile lots in Bethany.Inside, sunlight pours across gleaming hardwood floors and a vaulted living room anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling blackened-brick fireplace. The layout flows with intention — a separate dining room framed by its own picture window, a warm kitchen with maple cabinetry, quartz counters, tile backsplash, gas range, and stainless appliances, and a carpeted family/media room wired for projector and speakers that opens directly to the backyard. Three comfortable bedrooms include a primary with built-in closet storage and private slider to the patio, and both bathrooms are clean, bright, and move-in ready — one with a sleek glass-enclosed shower.Then you step outside, and the home reveals its best trick. The fully fenced, level backyard is built for living: an expansive paver-and-concrete patio under sail shades, a designer river-rock walkway, raised planters, a lush lawn, and room to gather around the fire. And tucked at the back is the showpiece — a detached, fully finished studio with its own ductless mini-split for year-round comfort, clerestory windows, and two separate spaces with their own entrances: a light-filled home office and a lofted playroom.Every big-ticket system has been handled — membrane roof (2012), furnace (2016), central A/C (2018) — and the oversized two-car garage even includes 40-amp Level-2 EV charging.All of this sits in the sought-after Bethany Elementary / Westview High corridor, minutes to shopping, dining, parks, and commuter routes, on a quiet street where homes like this don’t last.
