About This Home

As of July 2020

With nearly 4000 sq. ft. of luxuriously appointed living space situated on a large parcel approaching 14,000 sq. ft., 170 Seminary Drive is certainly a prominent residence in the sought after neighborhood of Vintage Oaks. Exquisite remodeling in the kitchen/great room and master bedroom suite. While continuing to benefit from gorgeous heritage trees and sought after privacy, the backyard has been reinvented to include a large stone terrace adjacent to the outdoor kitchen, infinity spa and stunning pool with cover. A putting green, large open play area and delightful children's play house complete this incredible setting. In addition to incomparable finishers on the inside, the floorplan also includes a rarely offered large additional room with built-ins, window seat and French doors. This space could be thoughtfully used as a second family room, gym, media room or a large home office with separate entrance. The property is truly stunning. The opportunity truly rare.
