Impeccably maintained and thoughtfully engineered, this one-of-a-kind property showcases exceptional craftsmanship, countless upgrades, and features rarely found in today’s market.

A central vacuum system adds everyday convenience. The luxurious first-floor primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring heated tile floors, a beautifully renovated spa-inspired bath with a large walk-in shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and oversized walk-in closets. Every bathroom and the laundry room have been professionally remodeled with quality finishes. The finished lower level was designed for entertaining and everyday living, complete with custom cabinetry, a wet bar, recreation area, entertainment space, office or guest bedroom, abundant custom storage, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and sound-reduction insulation between floors for enhanced comfort. Additional highlights include a spacious laundry room with utility sink, oversized 2½-car garage with direct stair access to the lower level, generous storage throughout the home, and a screened porch overlooking the incredibly private backyard. Outside, the property is equally impressive.
