About This Home

As of July 2021

Savor every hour of sunlight at this gated home in Day Valley. Gorgeous hickory floors ground the vaulted ceilings, numerous skylights, & huge French doors that open to a massive deck. The indoor/outdoor Sonos speaker system will follow you & your cocktail from the deck back inside for a refresh. The kitchen is the centerpiece of the room, with a continent rather than an island, black walnut kitchen cabinets, & under-counter lighting. The skylights & vaulted ceilings continue into the master suite. A gorgeously refinished bathroom, huge walk-in closet, & direct access to the hot tub on the deck, rival any Sandals Resort. Downstairs, a remodeled kitchen with quartz counters, a full bathroom, bedroom, & huge living room offers a totally separate space for the kids. If you're looking for something more removed, your private 1.5 acres features an auxiliary building for your personal office, yoga studio, or art studio. Make the most of every day at this Day Valley stunner.
