100 Marshall Drive

100 MARSHALL DRIVE, BALLENGER WOODS, A TRUE WORK-OF-ART! Imagine coming home to a magnificent, impeccably maintained residence with 3,824+- sqft of living area (PLUS 675+- sqft side entry 3-car garage and 2,000+- sqft full basement that's partially finished). The Chelmsford Grande model by Chuisano, is a thoughtfully designed home that exceeds expectations. The spacious layout includes 4 very large bedrooms with abundant closet space in each, and 2 1/2 bathrooms. Its 2-story entry foyer is bright and welcoming, and provides great flow to the rest of the home. Its living & dining room are divided by decorative columns, providing visual separation & openness at the same time. The sunroom with double french-doors & transom is an ideal escape that is often used as a music or reading room. The home office/study, also with double doors, is adjacent to the entry foyer, making it easy if clients need to stop by for a meeting. The large 2-story family room with gas fireplace, is bathed in natural light. High ceilings and large windows offer views of the backyard's wooded landscape, bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside. An oversized kitchen is an entertainers dream, featuring premium stainless steel appliances, upgraded 42" wood cabinetry with crown tops, and a large center island. The adjacent formal dining room is ideal for hosting dinner parties or holiday gatherings. The Primary Bedroom Suite will be your “retreat” -- with a tray ceiling, an adjacent sitting room, two (2) large walk-in closets, and an ensuite bathroom that features a garden soaking tub, double vanities and premium ceramic tile. The additional bedrooms are generously sized with very large closets, and they share a full bathroom. An often overlooked feature is this model's front and rear staircases! Let's not forget the huge (2,000 +- sqft), partially finished basement with area for exercise, fun & games, hobbies, and easily accessible storage. UPGRADED FEATURES include cathedral ceilings, recessed lighting and existing ceiling fans (or pre-wiring for them), premium porcelain and ceramic tile, elevated trim & millwork, hard-wired security system, natural gas fireplace with marble surround & hearth, custom drapes & blinds that will remain with the home, multi-zone heating & cooling (well maintained). Note that the large laundry room includes an electric dryer that has natural gas stubbed there (the washer is not included with the sale). GAF's 35-year long life architectural roof shingles on the home's hip-roof, are durable and lasting. 100 Marshall's deep paved driveway leads to a spacious side entry 3-car garage with 2 openers -- the oversized parking area is also ideal for a basketball court, a street hockey goal or other similar activity. This amazing home is nestled on a .86 acre premium sized lot, which is at he highest elevation in the neighborhood, promoting great natural drainage. This landscaped parcel is partially wooded and very private, and backs up to an unbuildable wooded buffer area as well. The park-like back yard of this property features an oversized multi-level hardscaped patio, with accent lighting -- perfect for outdoor gatherings and relaxation. Imagine hosting summer barbecues or enjoying your morning coffee while surrounded by the beauty of nature. An extensive 6-zone irrigation system on its own well (new submersible pump 11/2024), provides huge cost savings, while keeping your beautiful yard lush and in full bloom! SURROUNDINGS include a nearby bike path from Ballenger Woods that connects you to elementary schools, Castle playground, a municipal dog park, baseball /football/lacrosse fields, a BMX course, street hockey rinks, and the public library -- all ensuring that children and adults have plenty of recreational options. For nature enthusiasts, the EHTwp Arboretum & Nature Reserve is just a stone's throw away. When you're in the mood for a day at the beach, Ocean City is just a 15-minute drive.
