Special quality abounds in our House of the Week

It's tough enough to sell a home in this market without any internal issues to deal with in a given property. On the rare occasion that a residence is truly right, the story is an easy one to tell. As things are today, many homes are good....few are great. Great Indiana homes ultimately are a pristine reward for their eventual new owners. The incredibly detailed and intricate craftsmanship is everywhere in this residence and at $797,900, 3969 Chadwick Drive in Carmel is a great home.

Built by Will Wright and completed 8 years ago, there is little detail or true quality left out. From the endless hand crafted wood work to the constant attention to every well thought out design element, it's difficult to find a flaw and probably would be well in excess of $900,000 to reproduce if you could find a comperable lot. With great complimentary community amenities like the
Arts and Design District,the sparkling new fifty five million dollar Monon Fitness Center and the Indiana and national award winning Carmel Clay Schools, it's an area that enjoys great quality of life.

The home is a daylight ranch with complete exposure on the lower level. It has four solid bedrooms with the potential for a fifth on the lower level. There is a grand gourmet Kitchen and Great Room combination that pulls all who enter into the center of the main level. From the double ovens to center island and into the Great Room, it's a remarkable area.

Sitting just to the right of the flat screen is the Sun room entrance, a bright and picturesque retreat that works beautifully for office or a quiet reading or relaxing area.

The main level also boasts the Master Suite with spacious sitting area and roomy, opulent bath and walk in closets. The laundry also occupies the main level and here's a rarity: The laundry actually has abundant room for appliances, folding space and an entire wall of cabinetry above a secretarial area. In today's new homes too often the laundry areas are depleted, but not here.

The lower level has bedroom space, exercise and storage with the highlight being the rec area.

Billards, theater viewing and a cozy fireplace combine with the wet bar to set the perfect entertaining location. This is a part of the home that could have great access to the rear yard, a perfectly manicured stretch that the current owner has considered a pool on and has the renderings to illustrate the possibility.

One of the unspoken high points to this home in Carolina Commons is that is sits on a remarkably convenient location. Just north of 106th and Haverstick and backed up in the neighborhood to a family estate, this marvelous residence/location package are a fantastic combination that's rarely found in today's marketplace.
