Property Description
Surrounded by the rolling beauty of Leicester, 2 Watsell Dr is a thoughtfully designed 2023-built home blending modern comfort with warm, inviting style in a serene mountain setting. The open-concept layout welcomes you with soaring ceilings, natural light, and a seamless flow that makes everyday living feel effortless and connected. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is designed to impress and function beautifully, featuring stainless steel appliances, a ceramic backsplash, brushed nickel hardware, and a charming pantry with a barn door that adds both character and smart storage. The living room carries that same intentional design with a shiplap accent wall creating a cozy focal point. Throughout, waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring provides a rich, durable foundation that ties each room together. The private primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with a spa-like ensuite featuring a soaker tub, beautifully tiled shower, and double vanity. Both bathrooms carry that elevated feel, each with double vanities. A large laundry room adds even more practicality, and two additional oversized bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. Outside, 1.75 private acres with mountain views offer the perfect balance of usable space and privacy. A spacious covered 12x20 back deck creates the ideal setting for relaxing mornings, outdoor dining, or entertaining. A 13x32 outbuilding provides excellent space for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or recreation. Whether you envision starting a garden, expanding in the future, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the countryside, this home is a rare blend of thoughtful design, comfort, and outdoor living potential.
