Private and peacefully situated, this thoughtfully designed home offers an exceptional blend of craftsmanship, comfort and connection to nature. Located in a neighborhood of custom-built, well-kept homes and convenient to everyday amenities, the property feels secluded while remaining remarkably accessible. Inside, high ceilings, skylights and strategically placed windows create open views throughout the home, with nature serving as a backdrop to every room. Gorgeous wood flooring, custom stained-glass windows and carefully considered architectural details add warmth and character throughout. The sumptuously designed kitchen is equally suited to everyday living and entertaining, while the gracious formal dining room provides a beautiful setting for large family celebrations. The main-level primary suite includes an adjacent den, luxury carpeting and dual walk-in closets, along with an en-suite bath with a jetted tub positioned to take in the changing leaves.

One bedroom is outfitted with built-in cabinetry, desk and Murphy bed, making it especially well suited for a home office with guest accommodations. The walk-out lower level features an additional family room and a dedicated workout space any exercise enthusiast would appreciate. The connection to the outdoors continues with a high-end, multilevel Brazilian mahogany deck overlooking the lush grounds and a pond complete with cascading waterfall. A home of this quality is about more than finishes; it is the thoughtful relationship between the architecture, the setting and the way the spaces are designed to be enjoyed. Secluded and serene, yet convenient to amenities, this is a truly distinctive home.
