About This Home
As of June 2025A Rare Gem in the Wilson School District — Luxury, Space, and Unmatched Elegance.
Spectacular all-brick ranch home, offering over 6,100 square feet of beautifully finished living space and nestled on nearly 3 pristine acres in the coveted Wilson School District.
From the moment you turn down the pine tree-lined drive, this property impresses with professional landscaping, a walled front terrace, and a private backyard oasis featuring an in-ground pool and covered flagstone patio—perfect for year-round entertaining.
Inside, the home stuns with architectural elegance and thoughtful design. Step into the grand foyer, through double front doors, flanked by formal living and dining rooms and continue into the Great Room with a soaring 12-foot tray ceiling, recessed lighting, double sliders to the rear covered patio and a striking stone fireplace with beautiful mantle. The open layout creates a seamless flow that’s both sophisticated and welcoming.
The heart of the home is the custom kitchen, fully equipped with quality stainless appliances, such as a built-in Miele coffee maker, Viking fridge and double oven and a Bosch dishwasher. With quartz counters, large skylight , breakfast bar and a spacious eat-in area that opens directly to the outdoor living space and overlooks the pool, this is the perfect chef’s kitchen.
The right wing of the home features an en suite bedroom and two additional generously sized bedrooms with a full bath and marble countertops.
The primary suite is a true retreat, offering direct access to the pool and garden area, blending indoor comfort with outdoor serenity. A large soaking tub, marble counters, large vanity and spacious walk-in closet are sure to please. The mud room has access to the back yard and has a convenient sink and storage space.
Downstairs, the finished lower level offers over 2,000 square feet of entertainment and recreation space. Enjoy a custom bar and billard area with pool table, a spacious entertainment room with gas fireplace, a private exercise room, and convenient walk-out access. A fourth garage, complete with workshop and equipment storage, completes this level.
Additional features include an oversized 3-car main level garage with attic storage, surround sound system, new roof in 2022 with owned solar panels and two new HVAC units in 2024.
This home truly must be seen to be fully appreciated. With its stunning architecture, resort-like outdoor spaces, and expansive layout, it’s more than a house—it’s a lifestyle.
