Single Family Detached Amherst

Follow the Yellow Brick Road to an extraordinary creation by Blenker Construction! Built as their stunning 2026 Parade Home, this one-of-a-kind modern cottage home is a masterful blend of imaginative design, uncompromising quality, and storybook charm. Privately positioned on 2.14 acres of mature hardwoods and rolling topography, the home makes an unforgettable first impression. A concrete driveway leads to dramatic rooflines, custom-crafted steelwork, and a distinctive rooftop cupola, setting the stage for the exceptional details waiting inside. Step through the front door and discover the warmth and character so often missing from today’s new construction. Graceful arched openings, state-of-the-art fixtures, rich natural tones, and thoughtfully selected finishes come together with effortless sophistication. Soaring 21-foot ceilings and walls of windows fill the main living area with natural light while capturing peaceful views of the wooded surroundings. Designed to perform as beautifully as it presents, the gourmet kitchen showcases custom two-tone cabinetry with soft-close construction, quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, a brick backsplash, an oversized center island, and a commercial-grade appliance suite featuring a six-burner gas range. A generous walk-in pantry keeps everything organized and close at hand. Dual dining areas and a dedicated bar provide outstanding flexibility for everything from quiet dinners to lively gatherings. The finely appointed living room serves as the heart of the home, centered around a striking fireplace accented with timber harvested directly from the property. It is a remarkable space, grand enough for entertaining, yet warm and comfortable enough for everyday living. A king-sized main-floor guest suite offers a walk-in closet and private full bathroom, making it equally suited for overnight visitors or as a future primary suite for aging in place. The main level also features a thoughtfully designed drop zone with dedicated closet with built-in organization system, a showstopping powder room, and a beautiful laundry room complete with cabinetry, a utility sink, designated hanging and folding areas, an Electrolux washer and dryer, and tranquil backyard views. Ascend the open staircase with its custom-crafted steel railing to a spectacular loft overlooking the main living area. This versatile space can become exactly what you need: an additional entertaining area, home office, peaceful reading retreat, or guest space with a future Murphy bed. Whatever its purpose, the setting and views are nothing short of exceptional. Beyond an arched doorway awaits the serene upper-level primary suite. Its private en-suite bathroom features a soaking tub positioned to enjoy the wooded surroundings, a dual vanity, and a separate stall shower. Peace, privacy, and elevated design come together beautifully in this personal retreat. The walkout lower level introduces an entirely new dimension of living space. A spacious family room with a designer’s touch would make an outstanding home theater, game room, or casual gathering area. Two additional bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, and a third full bathroom provide exceptional accommodations for family members or weekend guests. Even the area beneath the staircase has been thoughtfully finished, creating the perfect children’s hideaway or a clever storage solution. Outside, professionally designed landscaping and multi-tiered retaining walls perfectly complement the home’s architecture. A concrete patio with a privacy screen is ready for outdoor dining, evenings around the firepit, or the addition of a future hot tub. Garage space is equally impressive, with two separate yet connected oversized garages. Both include floor drains and high-end LiftMaster Secure View garage-door openers with integrated cameras, providing outstanding functionality, security, and convenience- sorry the Camaro and Thunderbird are not included.
