About this home
Custom-Built Home with Exceptional Craftsmanship and Thoughtful Design -
This one-of-a-kind, custom-built residence radiates craftsmanship, attention to detail, and true pride of ownership throughout. Designed with a reverse-living layout, it offers thoughtfully designated spaces for every need.
Second Floor - The Heart of the Home -
Enter through the main level into a stunning living room featuring a gas-insert fireplace with custom ceramic surfacing. This level also hosts the private primary suite—secluded on its own tier for maximum tranquility—with a newly installed carpet (2025) and en suite bathroom. A versatile room on this floor is ideal for a workshop, home office, craft room, or play space. Third Floor - Spacious and Serene -
Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms, including one with a walk-in closet. These rooms share a beautifully renovated full bathroom (2023) complete with an extra-deep soaking tub and rainfall showerhead.
First Floor - Entertainer's Dream -
Downstairs, you'll find two inviting lounge areas: a cozy sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace framed by custom stonework, and a large great room perfect for gatherings. This level also includes a half bath, laundry room, oversized butler's pantry, extended dining area, and an entertainer's kitchen.
The kitchen is a standout: equipped with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, deep countertops, eat-at island, custom wood cabinetry, ceramic flooring, a breakfast nook, and its own HVAC zone. A sunroom with double French doors overlooks the pool and offers space to install a third fireplace, perfect for unwinding with coffee or wine beside the tranquil waterfall of the pool.
