“There are so many wonderful amenities to living in Somerset,” Realtor Margie Miller said. “Somerset homeowners enjoy the maintenance-free lifestyle that this lovely neighborhood offers. A gated entrance, grounds keeping, recreation center, community pool and walking trails — all included in your monthly HOA fee of $160.” 

Somerset also is situated close to the city’s top shopping. The Shoppes at EastChase as well as retail along Chantilly Parkway are both less than 10 minutes from Somerset.

Miller said a welcoming atmosphere is another benefit of living in Somerset. “Somerset is such a friendly neighborhood where neighbors are always looking out for each other,” Miller said. “There also are walking trails and sidewalks.”

The wonderfully-landscaped home at 8412 Wexford Trace is for sale for $338,900. The 2,513-square foot home was built in 2003 and is one of only two listings in popular Somerset.

“The living and dining areas feature high ceilings, beautiful moldings and lovely hardwood flooring,” Miller said. “The great room includes a fireplace with gas logs and built-in bookcases.”

A heated and cooled sunroom is located off the living area. “The sunroom is a cozy place to enjoy your morning coffee, or it could be used as an office,” Miller said.

The split floor plan offers a large master suite and huge master bath on one side of the home. The other two bedrooms and a bath are located on the other side, creating an ideal layout for overnight guests.

The large open kitchen has granite counters, stone backsplash, and a pantry. The laundry room includes space for a second refrigerator or freezer. A powder room sits nearby.

The backyard includes a small patio with faux wrought iron fencing. The home’s roof and Carrier HVAC were installed in 2021.
