16260 5th Street S A private retreat blending designer finishes, natural beauty and everyday convenience. Rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind home offering elevated design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and serene natural surroundings—all tucked away on a quiet, no-outlet street. Owned and meticulously curated by interior designers, this 2021-built home showcases high-end, bespoke finishes and rare materials throughout. Striking quartzite surfaces, designer lighting, and modern floating vanities create a cohesive, sophisticated aesthetic, while oversized, minimally trimmed Marvin windows flood the home with natural light and seamlessly connect the indoors to the surrounding landscape. The screened cedar porch, two large patios, gardener’s greenhouse, and enclosed raised-bed kitchen garden all provide easy immersion into the great outdoors. The flexible 4-bedroom floor plan adapts well to modern living, with one bedroom currently styled as a private home office and another as a longevity room featuring space for exercise, yoga, and sauna. The primary spa-like ensuite is a restful sanctuary with beautiful views of the back yard. Set on a tranquil, medium-wooded 2.5 acre lot with mature red pine trees, the property has been professionally landscaped with low-maintenance perennials and thoughtfully cleared to maximize sunlight and views. The result is a private, peaceful setting that feels like a retreat—yet remains close to everything. Key Features include high-end, custom craftsmanship by local builder Cardinal Homes, hot tub directly off of the porch and patio, dual-zone furnace and air conditioning, finished lower level with 8’ ceilings, main floor vaulted ceiling, EV electrical outlet, and generator-ready setup.
