Few homes offer this combination: serious scale, genuine livability, and the kind of thoughtful expansion that feels original rather than added on. Set behind a white fence and framed by mature trees, 1525 W Kersey Road arrives with a sense of quiet presence — structured, private, and deeply connected to its surroundings. The main level unfolds with purpose. A gracious foyer moves naturally into a formal living room and a dining room sized for both intimate dinners and full gatherings. The kitchen is the heart of the home: Sub-Zero refrigerator, GE gas cooktop, double Dacor ovens, an integrated wine fridge, and stainless steel appliances — all anchored by a sunlit breakfast area that opens directly into the living room, creating seamless flow for everyday life and effortless entertaining. Just off the foyer, a family room significantly expands the home's versatility. A fireplace and backyard access make it ideal for extended family and guests — without sacrificing privacy for anyone. A built-in desk and shelving area provide a quiet workspace, while a powder room and laundry area with garage access complete the level with the kind of practicality that actually gets used. Upstairs, the primary suite — part of a considered addition — delivers what a primary suite should: a sitting room, dual walk-in closets, and a spacious ensuite bath. Three additional bedrooms offer real flexibility, including one with its own ensuite bath, originally the home's primary suite. The remaining two bedrooms have a well-appointed shared bath. A separate den serves as an ideal home office or study. Cedar-lined closets throughout are a small detail that speaks to the care taken across the whole house. The walk-out lower level extends the home further still — a large recreation room, a fully equipped kitchenette with a full-size GE refrigerator and dishwasher, and direct access to the patio and backyard. It functions as well for a weekend gathering as it does for a long-term guest. The garage is spacious enough to accommodate two cars. It has a Whirlpool refrigerator added last year, which conveniently stores grocery items from the trunk of the car to the freezer and cooling sections. There are inbuilt facilities, such as a yard sprinkler system and a home security system (with two cameras for the back and one for the front), which can be easily activated for full service by the buyer. Recent enhancements reflect the owner's attention to long-term value: Tesla Powerwall Energy Storage System was added in 2024 (fully paid) to supplement 17.59 kW solar panels leased until 2034. The monthly payments to Tesla are based on actual electricity generation. This means that any grid-level power supply issues will not affect the house's power supply. A new water heater was installed in 2025, and a dedicated HVAC system for the addition was also installed during the same year. A new chimney, a new roof, gutters, and siding (James Hardie
