Primarily single-level, the residence blends timeless elegance with modern luxury. The beautifully renovated kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting a striking quartzite-topped center island, custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line Thermador appliances. Expansive enough for informal dining plus cozy fireplace seating, the kitchen features soaring windows that bring the outside in. Vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and skylights enhance the bright and airy atmosphere throughout. The serene primary suite is a private retreat, featuring a spa-inspired bath with a freestanding Jacuzzi tub and radiant-heated floors. Grand living and dining spaces exude sophistication, highlighted by soaring ceilings, African Acacia hardwood floors, and three fireplaces that create an inviting yet refined ambiance. Additional luxuries include a private office, study, expansive den/game room, and an oversized three-car garage. The outdoor spaces are designed for effortless entertaining, with multiple patios and seating areas set amidst the tranquil natural surroundings. Meticulously maintained and move-in ready, this distinguished property is also adjacent to Hale Park, offering a rare blend of serenity, elegance, and access to scenic open spaces and nature trails.
