About This Home

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this rare ranch-style luxury home offers the perfect blend of modern design, privacy, and turnkey living on a 1.2-acre level lot—an increasingly hard-to-find combination in today’s market. Surrounded by mature trees and thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces, this property delivers the ultimate private backyard oasis, ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or building your dream pool with a dedicated electric panel already in place.
Extensively renovated and expanded in 2022, this home truly lives like new construction, featuring a new roof, gutters, soffits, fascia, siding, painted brick exterior, and premium Marvin windows and doors. Major systems were also upgraded, including dual HVAC systems, water heater, updated electrical, PEX plumbing, partial sewer lateral replacement, and gas fireplaces, ensuring both efficiency and peace of mind for years to come.
Step inside to discover a stunning open-concept floor plan with engineered wood flooring throughout the main level. The layout flows effortlessly from the den/dining space into a dramatic great room with studio-height ceilings, gas fireplace, and a wall of windows showcasing the picturesque backyard. The adjoining breakfast room is perfectly sized for gatherings both large and intimate.
The gourmet chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator/freezer, dual-fuel range with gas burners and induction cooktop, four dishwasher drawers, quartz countertops, a striking feature backsplash, pot filler, apron-front sink, and custom Lurk cabinetry. A showstopping walk-in pantry adds both beauty and functionality.
The main-floor primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with dual quartz vanities, a spa-inspired shower, and custom closet systems. Additional bedrooms are thoughtfully designed, with two sharing a well-appointed bath and a private en-suite for the fourth bedroom. Designer touches continue in the powder room and main-floor laundry, both enhanced with custom finishes.
The finished walk-out lower level expands your living space with luxury vinyl flooring, a spacious rec room with bar, mudroom with custom lockers, storage room with a built-in dog washing station, and a fifth bedroom with full bath—ideal for guests or multigenerational living.
Outdoor amenities elevate this home even further with multiple patios, a pavilion with electric, pergola, and greenhouse, creating endless opportunities for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Additional features include a 27-ft deep oversized 3-car garage with epoxy floors and slat wall storage, permanent holiday lighting, 13 zone lawn irrigation system and an Arlo security system.
This is a rare opportunity to own a fully renovated, move-in ready luxury ranch home that combines modern upgrades, functional design, and exceptional outdoor living—truly like owning a brand-new home in an established setting.
