About This Home
As of September 2025**Welcome to Your Private Retreat—Where Luxury Meets Tranquility**
This home is the perfect solution for those long, stressful days. Imagine coming home to your own private retreat—where tranquility, comfort, and luxury await. Nestled on just under an acre, this stunning residence offers the ideal balance of relaxation, sophistication, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Designed with a retreat-like feel, every detail has been thoughtfully curated—from the soothing koi pond perfectly positioned outside the primary suite, office, and a glass-walled sitting room, to the expansive glass doors that fully retract in both the kitchen and primary suite. These four-panel sliding glass walls open wide to the outdoors, blurring the lines between interior comfort and breathtaking natural beauty. Panoramic views surround you in nearly every room.
The main-level primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a beautifully appointed bathroom, a massive walk-in closet, and a sliding glass wall that opens directly to the tranquil koi pond—offering an intimate connection to nature right from your bedroom.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream with Corian countertops, a built-in refrigerator and freezer, wine fridge, a sleek, cabinetry-integrated dishwasher, and a high-end Gaggenau convection oven—every element blending style with performance.
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide privacy and space for family or guests.
The professionally landscaped backyard is a true entertainer’s paradise, showcasing a sparkling resort-style pool, a calming fountain, lush gardens, a whimsical treehouse, and a built-in stainless steel BBQ and sink—perfect for hosting gatherings under the stars.
Whether you’re sipping coffee by the koi pond, cooking gourmet meals, or enjoying quiet moments in the garden, this home is a retreat in every sense of the word.
This is more than a home—it’s your luxury escape.
