A soaring two-story family room with wet bar flows out onto the exterior, while the executive library finished in custom oak woodwork lends warmth and sophistication. The chef’s kitchen features a large center island, ample storage, and direct connection to formal dining and outdoor entertaining areas, making it a natural hub for gatherings. Five bedrooms include a main-level suite, a versatile upstairs office/bedroom with Jack-and-Jill bath to an adjoining bedroom, another ensuite with Toto washlet and generous primary suite. The primary bedroom is a private retreat with a spacious walk-in closet, custom window coverings, large walk-in closet and a marble-finished luxe bath. Artisan details are found throughout, including crown molding, custom cabinetry, and finely-styled spaces such as the powder bath and laundry room, each with onyx countertops and thoughtful finishes. Upgrades ensure your peace of mind, including Pella windows, newer HVAC systems, a full-house PEX repipe, water conditioning system, and hardwired security. Outdoor living is highlighted by a saltwater pool and spa, expansive sundeck, Fire Magic BBQ with quartzite bar, multiple patios with heaters and fans for year-round enjoyment and direct access to the horse trails.
