An architectural masterpiece of private estate living, 18 Maidenhair Way delivers an elevated lifestyle on a premier 3+ acre lot in North Stafford's exclusive Millstone at the Glens, an enclave of 16 luxury homes. Built as the award winning Carlyle model by Augustine Homes, this property showcases elite architectural design across three finished levels. Pass through lighted stone monument pillars down a long driveway to a finished 3 car garage with a large turnaround area. The commanding exterior showcases a full stone facade, a stately flagstone front porch, and a prominent front bay window with premium metal clad roofing. Two side bay windows frame the formal living room and office, providing expansive views of the tree lined estate borders. This property boasts 5400+ sq ft of finished living space, 5 bedrooms, and 4.5 bathrooms, with soaring 9ft ceilings across all levels. An upgraded front door with sidelights and a transom welcomes you into a grand foyer with rich hardwood and a custom tile inlay. Heavily trimmed arched entries lead to formal living and dining rooms, the latter detailed with an upgraded chair rail and elegant wall box trim boxes. These formal spaces feature designer lighting and elegant ceiling trim. Ideal for entertaining, a butler's pantry connects the dining room and kitchen, outfitted with premium Yorktown cabinetry, a matching full-height granite backsplash, wine/glass rack, and an integrated wine refrigerator. Premium brushed nickel hardware adorns doors and cabinets throughout the home. Continue through the entry to the open-concept family room and kitchen. The family room is defined by a dramatic coffered ceiling and a cozy fireplace with views of the mature forest. Behind glass French doors, a dedicated office offers a cable-ready workspace or main-level bedroom. The gourmet chef's kitchen features custom Yorktown cabinetry, expansive granite countertops with a matching granite backsplash, a massive granite island with a built-in warming drawer, a walk in pantry, a double oven, and premium GE Profile appliances alongside a high end 5 burner gas cooktop by JennAir. A kitchen adjoining sun room and powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as an indulgent sanctuary. A private sitting salon, perfect for a morning coffee bar leads to the primary bedroom with a tray ceiling and dual walk-in closets. The ensuite bathroom features independent dual vanities topped in granite, Yorktown cabinetry, a jetted soaking tub, and a large double shower with upgraded tile and integrated hotel-style ceiling heat lamps. Every bedroom is a suite with its own walk in closet; two share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the fourth enjoys a private full bath. An upper level laundry completes this floor. The finished lower level provides excellent multi-generational independence. Accessible via a private exterior entrance, it features a large bedroom with a walk-in closet, a full bath, a massive recreation room, game area, and a wet bar with Yorktown cabinetry designed with kitchenette potential. An unfinished utility room provides storage, while a dual-zone HVAC system was fully replaced in June 2024. Outdoor living is elevated to resort-style standards, backing directly to a protected wooded conservation area for permanent privacy. The nearly 400 sq ft rear composite deck easily accommodates four seating areas. Below, a finished dry-ceiling system shelters a secondary patio space just outside the basement entrance, creating a multi-level outdoor oasis for year-round enjoyment.
