Spacious 5BR Matthews Home with Finished Basement & Backyard Oasis
What sets 1015 Chelsea Place apart is the way it welcomes multiple ways of living under one roof. The finished, walk-up basement reads like a thoughtfully planned apartment—complete kitchen, living room with gas fireplace, a large bedroom, full bath, and a private exterior entrance—perfect for long-term guests, multigenerational households, or a rental opportunity. At roughly 5,200 square feet, this 1993-built residence balances formal spaces with flexible living areas designed for contemporary life.
Step into an updated main level where the renovated kitchen becomes the home's everyday centerpiece. Modern cabinetry, a large center island with seating, high-end stainless appliances and a dedicated beverage/coffee center support both weekday breakfasts and larger gatherings. The adjacent sunny breakfast area and an inviting sunroom overlook the private backyard, while a cozy great room anchored by a gas fireplace and custom built-ins offers a comfortable setting for evenings. A front dining room provides a gracious greeting, and a glass-enclosed main-level office creates a bright work-from-home retreat.
Thoughtful details continue throughout: pocket doors allow you to define rooms as needed, and a practical mud/laundry room with a utility sink keeps daily routines organized. Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat with vaulted ceilings, a custom-organized walk-in closet, and an updated spa-like bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower. A private guest suite adds convenience for visitors, while two additional bedrooms share a renovated Jack-and-Jill bath. A large bonus room and a walk-up attic expand your options for media, play, or storage.
Outside, the professionally designed backyard invites year-round enjoyment. Multiple entertaining tiers include a spacious deck and a lower-level lounge linked by softly lit paver paths. A hot tub beneath a pergola and a dedicated firepit area create intimate gathering spots, yet there’s still generous lawn for children and pets. The property’s layout and landscaping are deliberately arranged for privacy and varied outdoor experiences.
Located in sought-after Matthews and minutes from shopping and dining at The Arboretum, this home is also zoned for top-rated local schools. With a strong mix of move-in-ready finishes, versatile living spaces, and a secondary living suite that enhances value and flexibility, 1015 Chelsea Place represents a rare combination of style and practical design in a premier suburban location.
