About this home
Where Everyday Living Feels Like a Country Club Retreat—Designed for the way you live, work, and entertain, this custom-built residence by Wilbur Smith offers exceptional flexibility for executive entertaining, multi-generational living, remote work, or simply enjoying a private retreat tucked discreetly within Dover. The thoughtfully designed floor plan can easily accommodate an in-law suite on either the main or upper level, while the fully finished walkout basement provides additional space for recreation, fitness, hobbies, guests, or extended living.
Nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac and backing to mature trees and abundant wildlife, this remarkable home is located within an intimate hidden professional community of 18 homes—where opportunities to own are rare.
Inside, quality craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident throughout. The welcoming foyer opens to an elegant formal dining room featuring hardwood floors, a soaring cathedral ceiling, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling bay window—perfect for holiday gatherings and special occasions.
The gourmet kitchen is equally suited for everyday living and effortless entertaining, offering a center island with cooktop and downdraft, custom cabinetry, double sink, built-in desk, and separate serving station with bar sink. The sun-filled breakfast nook overlooks the private wooded backyard and outdoor living spaces.
At the heart of the home, the dramatic two-story living room showcases a soaring ceiling, dual-sided fireplace, custom built-ins, and integrated audio throughout the main level and patio. Its open design creates an inviting setting for both intimate evenings and larger gatherings.
A stylish powder room and oversized laundry room with granite countertops, built-ins, front-load washer and dryer, and concealed ironing station add everyday convenience.
The luxurious primary suite serves as a true private retreat, highlighted by a stunning floor-to-ceiling fireplace, spacious sitting area, spa-inspired bath with heated floors, oversized walk-in shower, private water closet, and expansive walk-in closet.
Upstairs, a graceful bridge overlooks the living room below and leads to a private guest suite with its own bath and walk-in closet. A spacious home office supports today's work-from-home lifestyle, while the oversized bonus room offers endless possibilities as a media room, playroom, studio, additional bedroom, or part of a second-floor in-law suite. Additional bedrooms feature custom millwork, decorative moldings, reading nooks and charming architectural details.
The finished walkout basement further enhances the home's versatility, providing flexible space for fitness, recreation, hobbies, guests, or multi-generational living.
Outside, the private patio veranda is designed for memorable gatherings and relaxed outdoor living. Complete with extensive hardscaping, a built-in grill, generous entertaining areas, and a tranquil wooded backdrop, it is the perfect setting for summer cookouts, evening cocktails, family celebrations, or peaceful mornings surrounded by nature.
Offering privacy, flexibility, and exceptional entertaining spaces, this distinctive residence delivers a lifestyle rarely found in Dover....
