Summer vacations are never too far away at The Chace Thomas, where Tom Waller's coastal cottage-style walkout ranch embodies a retreat-like ambiance among its 2,604 square feet.  The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath offers homeowners an ideal place to escape into relaxing spaces or live it up with friends and family within its many areas designed for entertaining.  
Red brick and beige stone highlight the exterior of The Chace Thomas, which features a gorgeous oversized stained walnut front door.  Unique roof lines, board and batten shutters and the covered porch entry offer an inviting welcome for eager guests.   
Beautiful eucalyptus hardwood introduces the foyer, which features columns, crown moulding and a built-in display bookcase.  The convenient floor plan showcases a relaxed, but elegant design that makes guests feel right at home.  The formal dining room suggests this is the perfect venue for special occasions, with a trayed dome ceiling, gorgeous chandelier, crown moulding and sconces.  A large window and built-in niche add creative elements to the room. Just off the foyer, the powder room features a custom furniture cabinet with a vessel bowl and built-in decorative ledge and lattice window.
The eucalyptus hardwood continues into the great room, which will most certainly be the place of choice for lazy Sundays by the fire. Recessed lighting, wainscotting and a tiled see-through fireplace flanked by large windows overlooking the covered porch and deck add comfort and warmth to the spacious gathering area. 
The breakfast room, kitchen and hearth room offer an ideal combined space for busy family members to reconnect after a long day.  Meal preparation is made more enjoyable with white granite countertops, a glass-tiled backsplash and cherry painted and rubbed cabinets.  Decorative posts and display shelves add even more character and style to the kitchen.  The hearth room boasts custom built-in cabinets and beautiful arched windows that lay claim to incredible views of the landscape beyond.  A magnificent one-of-a-kind custom fireplace mantle serves as the centerpiece of the area.  Nearby, the breakfast room maintains its own sense of style with a built-in banquette table and L-shaped seating bench that encourages everyone to make it home in time for dinner.  Located just off the culinary spaces, is a spacious covered porch with a bead board ceiling, two ceiling fans and extended patio.   
The master suite also has access to the covered porch and continues the relaxed cottage-style design with a unique hip-vaulted ceiling, beautiful hardwood flooring and a paddle fan.  The master bath is an ideal venue for relaxing.  A barrel-vaulted ceiling highlights the beautiful tub, and granite countertops, tile flooring, painted cherry cabinets and a frameless glass shower add a retreat-like feel to the space.  A built-in linen cabinet and walk-in closet contribute a sense of organization.  
Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with private sink areas. Just off the kitchen is a combination office/mud room with a built-in bench, cubbies, coat rack and L-shaped desk. Accented with bead board, the convenient space makes coming and going more organized and offers a stylish location for keeping bills or homework in order. Nearby, the laundry room features a work sink with a pull-out spray. The two-car garage includes large doors to accommodate big vehicles.
Designed with room to grow, The Chace Thomas also includes a spacious unfinished 2,400 square foot lower level that's ready for homeowners to customize to fit their needs in the future. Presently, the incredible spaces within the home provide plenty of areas to relax, entertain and live in. With its convenient location near the club house, energy efficient features and single-story, open floor plan, The Chace Thomas provides as much functionality as it does classic, relaxed, cottage-style design. Builder Tom Waller offers homeowners more than enough reasons to kick off their shoes at the front door and enjoy the kind of lifestyle they've been longing for right there in their own home.
