About This Home

As of January 2026

Welcome to this extraordinary newly renovated home offering nearly 5,400 sq. ft. of living space, main level primary bedroom suite, perfectly situated on a private 2.1-acre lot with serene wooded views and a natural stream in the highly desirable North Star community. From the bluestone-granite front staircase to the lined Belgium-block driveway curbs, the exterior sets a tone of quality and elegance before you even step inside. The main level features a grand foyer that opens to an expansive living room with soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and stunning views of the wooded lot and stream. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, which offers two sliders leading to the brand-new Trex deck—perfect for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. The all-new gourmet kitchen is a showpiece, complete with a large island with seating, quartz countertops, premium white cabinetry, a custom tile backsplash, top-tier stainless steel appliances, a spacious walk-in pantry, and an adjoining sitting room. The main floor continues with a luxurious primary bedroom suite featuring its own private Trex deck, an oversized walk-in closet, and a beautifully renovated primary bath with custom tile flooring and a walk-in tile shower. A convenient laundry room with access to the attached 2-car garage is located off the foyer. A stunning solid mahogany staircase leads to the fully above-grade lower level, centered around a massive family room with terra-cotta flooring, massive stone fireplace, a floor-to-ceiling expansive windows, and sliders that open to the Belgium-block patio with views of the woods and sprawling backyard. A private hallway leads to two generously sized bedrooms, a large full bath with a walk-in custom tile shower, soaking tub, and custom tile flooring, as well as a spacious storage room. The opposite side of the lower level offers a true in-law or guest suite, featuring a large bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full custom bath with a walk-in tile shower and tile flooring. This wing also includes a recreation room accessed through a Barnwood door framed by a Belgium-block accent wall, plus additional storage and a utility room. This expansive and exquisitely renovated home combines modern luxury with natural beauty, offering unparalleled privacy, premium finishes, and flexible living options—all in one of North Star’s most sought-after neighborhoods with community pool. A rare opportunity not to be missed.
