Description
Surrounded by the rolling beauty of Leicester, 2 Watsell Dr is a thoughtfully designed home that blends modern comfort with warm, inviting style in a serene mountain setting. From the moment you step inside, 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 that creates a cozy focal point, bringing warmth and texture to the space. Throughout the home, Resolve waterproof LVT flooring in Bear provides a rich, durable foundation that ties each room together with a warm, cohesive finish. The private primary suite offers a relaxing retreat complete with a spa-like ensuite featuring a soaker tub, a beautifully tiled shower, and a double vanity for added comfort and convenience. Both bathrooms in the home continue this elevated feel, each featuring double vanities that blend style with everyday functionality.

Two additional oversized bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, family, or a home office, each designed with comfort and space in mind. Outside, the property sits on 1.75 acres of land, offering 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 while taking in the peaceful mountain surroundings. The property also includes a 13x32 outbuilding, providing excellent space for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or additional recreational use. Whether you envision starting a garden, expanding in the future, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the countryside, this property delivers endless opportunity. With sweeping views and room to grow, this home is a rare blend of thoughtful design, comfort, and outdoor living potential.
