About This Home

As of May 2025

Nestled in the heart of a prestigious cul-de-sac, this extraordinary 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath estate offers the ultimate sanctuary for those who seek privacy without compromising on convenience. While just minutes from premier dining, shopping, and major highways, it remains secluded enough to provide an exclusive retreat like no other.

From the moment guests enter through the grand foyer, they're greeted by the breathtaking butterfly staircase, exquisite crown molding, and expansive living & dinning areas—perfectly suited for both elegant gatherings and intimate soirees. The gourmet kitchen stands as a masterpiece, featuring custom 42'' cabinetry, a spacious center island, GE Monogram appliances, a Butler's pantry, and a tumbled marble backsplash. Designed for both the seasoned host and the casual chef, it promises effortless culinary experiences.
The sunken Great Room serves as the heart of the home. Here, soaring Palladium windows and a wood-burning fireplace combine to create an atmosphere of refined sophistication, adaptable to everything from lively cocktail parties to cozy evenings by the fire.

Upstairs, the master suite is a serene, private retreat. With its lavish sitting area, expansive California Closet, and a spa-inspired bath that rivals any luxury resort, this space offers an unparalleled escape.

The walkout basement presents endless possibilities for entertainment and relaxation, whether as a private home theater, a wine cellar, or an exclusive fitness studio. Step outside to the expansive Trex composite deck, where outdoor gatherings take on a new level of style and sophistication.

Additional highlights include a three-car garage, an advanced HVAC system, and every detail meticulously crafted to offer comfort, convenience, and prestige. This home is more than just a residence. It's a statement of success. It's a place where entertaining becomes effortless, privacy reigns supreme, and every day is a reminder of the exceptional lifestyle you deserve. This house is West Facing.
