Fair warning: the back porch may ruin ordinary patios for you forever.

This one-owner Crestone Ridge home offers 2,410 square feet, three bedrooms, 2½ baths, a dedicated study and a three-car garage. The open living, dining and kitchen areas flow together beautifully, with a fireplace anchoring the space and wooden shutters adding warmth to the front rooms.

The kitchen is ready for everything from weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings, featuring 3 cm granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a five-burner gas range, large island, raised breakfast bar, upgraded faucet and two pantries.

The spacious primary suite includes a generous walk-in closet and private bath with dual vanities, whirlpool tub, walk-in shower and electric window shade.

Now, about that porch. Three app- or remote-controlled power screens create a comfortable, multi-season outdoor room. A fireplace with mantel and heat-sensing blower, remote-controlled ceiling fan, gas grill hookup and retractable back-door screen make it ideal for morning coffee, game days, dinner with friends or relaxing evenings.

Additional features include a storm shelter, smart thermostat, electronic keypad entry, smart-controlled exterior lighting, upgraded USB outlets, full-home guttering and a garage-door opener on the third bay. The attic offers improved lighting, insulation and decking for convenient storage.

Energy Star certified and conveniently located near the Kilpatrick Turnpike and Northwest Expressway, Crestone Ridge offers a pool, clubhouse, fitness room, playground and greenbelt.

Thoughtfully upgraded and ready for its next chapter, this home may have you calling dibs on the porch first.
