Welcome to a realm of luxury living in this custom-designed 6000+ square-foot masterpiece by

boasting a wealth of upscale features, this residence embodies sophistication and elegance at
every turn.
The Exterior of this opulent abode is a sight to behold, showcasing Mainline, Mica Stone, and
Grand Manor 40-year roof shingles that exude timeless charm. Step inside to discover a spacious
haven with 4/5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths, offering ample space for relaxation and

First floor is equipped with Rocky Mountain hardware, also oil stained bronze hardware. Ascend
with front and back stairways, to the second floor with 4 bedrooms, and spacious second floor
family room for further relaxation and entertainment. Off the main living room, there is a 14 x 16
bump out, perfect for a piano or a serene reading/sitting area, adorned with vaulted ceilings and
floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking views of the backyard.
The first-floor Library is a retreat in itself, featuring stained maple custom built-ins, a cozy
fireplace, and exquisite custom millwork, providing an ideal space for unwinding or hosting
intimate gatherings. Adjacent to the Great Room, a large outdoor flagstone patio and gazebo
beckon, offering a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living, complemented by
luxury Summer Classic outdoor furniture by the Hill Company.
The property's expansive 1.38 acres are meticulously landscaped, complete with an in-ground
irrigation system and a picturesque Pond featuring a multi-level self-circulating waterfall,
creating a tranquil oasis for relaxation and enjoyment. Gutter with gutter guards.
Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows with Andersen true divided glass bathe the interiors in natural
light, accentuating the 9-foot ceilings that grace both the first and second floors. Warmth and
ambiance are further enhanced by four gas fireplaces with true flame logs, strategically placed in
the Living Room, Great Room, Library, and the Primary Bedroom, which also boasts cathedral
ceilings and dual custom-built walk-in closets. Main bathroom with double sinks and jacuzzi
whirlpool tub.
