Flexible Living Spaces Designed Around You
One of the standout features of The Blackbeard is the versatile flex room located on the main floor. This space can easily be tailored to fit your needs, whether that’s a formal dining room for hosting holidays, a cozy den for quiet evenings, a playroom for kids, or even a media or hobby space. As your family’s needs evolve, this room evolves with you, offering long-term flexibility that adds real value to the home.
Just beyond the flex room, the main living area opens up to create a welcoming space where family and friends naturally gather. With access to the rear patio, the open-concept layout enhances sightlines, improves natural light, and makes both entertaining and day-to-day living more enjoyable.
A Kitchen That Works as Hard as You Do
At the heart of the home is The Blackbeard’s open-concept kitchen, designed to be as functional as it is beautiful. Home chefs will appreciate the Energy Star appliances, granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a generous pantry that keeps everything organized and within reach.
An optional center island adds even more prep and serving space, making meal preparation seamless while also providing a natural gathering spot for family conversations, homework sessions, or casual dining. Whether you’re cooking a weeknight dinner or hosting a weekend get-together, this kitchen supports it all with ease.
Private Retreats Upstairs
Upstairs, The Blackbeard truly shines with four spacious bedrooms that provide everyone in the household their own private retreat. Thoughtfully arranged for comfort and convenience, the second floor offers the perfect balance of shared and personal space.
The owner’s suite is the crown jewel of the home, designed as a true escape. This expansive suite includes a private sitting room, ideal for reading, unwinding, or creating a quiet workspace. Two oversized walk-in closets offer ample storage, while the spa-inspired bathroom elevates daily routines into moments of indulgence. Dual vanities, a large garden tub, and a luxurious shower with dual shower heads create a retreat-like experience right at home.
