About This Home
As of May 2026A welcoming sense of warmth and thoughtful design is felt as you enter, setting the tone for the rest of the home. The dining space carries that same feeling—defined yet connected, creating an inviting place for both everyday meals and more intentional gatherings. Just beyond, the kitchen is positioned for both flow and function, with two entry points—one from the dining room and one from the hall off the great room—allowing movement throughout the home to feel natural and easy. A wall cut-out opens the kitchen to the great room, keeping the spaces connected while still giving each area its own sense of place. Vaulted ceilings carry into the space, adding a light, airy feel that makes the kitchen feel more open and inviting. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances bring a clean, timeless look, while the center island offers practical workspace. A window over the sink draws in natural light, keeping the space bright and relaxed. The great room opens up with vaulted ceilings that give the space a light, relaxed feel, elevated by recessed lighting and multiple skylights that fill the room with natural light throughout the day. The fireplace becomes a true focal point, framed by large windows on one side and a sliding door to the patio on the other. A wall of custom shelving adds both character and function, while Palladian shutters throughout bring a timeless, refined touch. Beautiful hardwood floors extend through the great room, dining area, and hallway, tying everything together with a warm, elegant flow. The split-bedroom floorplan offers privacy where it matters most, with the primary suite set apart as its own retreat. Vaulted ceilings carry through, giving the bedroom a spacious, calming feel that’s both open and relaxing. The primary bath has been beautifully reimagined into a true spa-like retreat, centered around a freestanding soaking tub set beneath a custom arched detail. A skylight fills the space with soft natural light, highlighting the refined finishes, upgraded fixtures, and glass walk-in shower. The design feels elevated and intentional throughout—creating a space that is both striking and deeply relaxing. The home reveals even more as you make your way to the lower level, accessed by an open staircase thoughtfully positioned off the central hallway. This transition feels effortless and inviting, leading into a beautifully finished space designed for both comfort and versatility. The lower level opens into a spacious living area where everything just feels easy—room to spread out, settle in, and enjoy the kind of space that adapts to whatever the day calls for. Soft recessed lighting creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere, while a custom bar area adds both character and function—perfect for hosting or unwinding. An additional room offers flexibility for a home office, craft space, or playroom. Open the living room doors to a private backyard that feels quiet and tucked away, offering a natural sense of separation and calm. The layout allows the space to open up comfortably, giving you room to relax, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors in a setting that feels both peaceful and private.
