Built in 2019, this stunning home showcases modern luxury, thoughtful design, and exquisite craftsmanship throughout. Set on a premium southern-facing lot overlooking serene green space, the property also features a fully fenced backyard, offering both privacy and an ideal setting for pets, play, or entertaining. Step inside to discover site-finished hardwood floors that gracefully span the main living areas, setting the stage for a warm and inviting interior. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, highlighted by quartz countertops, a custom range hood, and exceptional attention to detail that balances beauty and durability. A custom fireplace mantel anchors the living space, flanked by built-in cabinetry that provides both refined style and everyday functionality. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the dual-zone, 164-bottle wine refrigerator incorporated within a custom bar, perfect for showcasing a special collection. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a screened porch for relaxing evenings and an expansive front porch ideal for enjoying sunset views. The home's three-level layout allows everyone to find their own private retreat, while the garage adds exceptional versatility with nearly 500 square feet of unfinished walk-up storage above, already framed and ready to be finished. This space offers an easy opportunity to add valuable square footage, whether as a bonus room, home office, guest suite, or flex space tailored to your needs. Completing the package is a brand new evaporator coil for the HVAC system, providing peace of mind and enhanced energy efficiency.
