About This Home

As of February 2025

This custom-built, five-bedroom, 41/2-bath French Country Contemporary home seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern luxury. Nestled on picturesque level grounds, it boasts exceptional craftsmanship and design, highlighted by 500 feet of charming stone walls that create a sense of privacy and rustic sophistication. The main level offers expansive living spaces, featuring soaring ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and oversized windows that flood the home with natural light. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and an island perfect for entertaining. The living and dining areas flow effortlessly, providing a perfect setting for both cozy family gatherings and formal occasions. The primary suite is a true retreat with a spa-inspired bath and a walk-in closet. Four additional bedrooms (all with walk-ins) and three more baths provide ample space for family and guests. The finished lower level is a standout feature, offering a private apartment complete with a kitchenette, living area, 2 bedrooms, and bath-ideal for extended family or guests. Outdoors, the home is equally impressive. The sprawling grounds are designed for both relaxation and entertainment, featuring an outdoor kitchen and a stone fireplace that invite al fresco dining and warm gatherings under the stars. The lush landscaping and meticulously maintained lawn are framed by the striking stone walls, adding a storybook charm to the property.
