Perfectly positioned on one of the largest and most private wooded cul-de-sac lots in the neighborhood at 1.57 acres, this property delivers a sense of serenity and distinction from the moment you arrive. A sweeping approach gracefully unfolds to reveal striking architecture and captivating curb appeal, beautifully framed by mature hardwoods. The inviting front porch and impressive entry door welcome you into a grand two-story foyer with soaring ceilings and refined, custom details throughout. Handcrafted barn doors accent the study and media room adding both character and sophistication. The heart of the home is a true chef's kitchen, thoughtfully designed with a custom-stained wood hood, a statement stone-wrapped island, custom pantry door, and designer appointed finishes, all seamlessly open to the breakfast area and family room-creating an ideal flow for both everyday living and entertaining. Expansive windows fill the home with natural light while showcasing the picturesque, wooded surroundings. The dining room is equally impressive, featuring volume ceilings, a striking stone accent wall, and a beautiful grouping of windows that frame serene views of the surrounding hardwood trees. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bath, custom-tiled walls, and thoughtfully designed closet organization. Throughout the home, you'll find no carpet-only timeless, high-quality flooring. Secondary bathrooms are beautifully appointed with custom tiled feature accents, adding a refined and cohesive design element throughout the home. A beautifully designed staircase serves as a focal point, blending elegant craftsmanship with clean architectural lines as it gracefully connects the home's living spaces. The upper level offers a spacious media room and three additional bedrooms, including one with a charming sitting area and another featuring a private en-suite bath. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A screened-in porch overlooks the private backyard, where a paver patio and firepit create the perfect setting for gathering and relaxing. As evening falls, uplighting throughout the wooded backdrop casts a warm, ambient glow, enhancing the natural beauty and creating a truly magical atmosphere. A newer roof adds to the home's value, complementing the property's overall quality and care.
