A striking foyer welcomes you into the home, framed by a beautifully paneled main level office and a formal dining room. At the center of the home is a true chef's kitchen designed to impress. Upgraded quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, an oversized pantry, and a fully appointed wet bar create a sophisticated culinary environment while maintaining a seamless connection to the main living spaces. The kitchen opens directly to the fireside family room, where expansive black-framed sliding doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor living and lead to the covered rear patio. The owner's suite is a private retreat, thoughtfully designed to evoke the feeling of luxury. The spa-inspired bath features an oversized shower, soaking tub, and dual vanities, while two generously sized closets with custom built-ins provide exceptional organization and storage. Everyday living has been elevated throughout the home with laundry rooms on both the main and upper levels, plus a dedicated pet bath on the upper level. Designer lighting, premium flooring, upgraded secondary baths, custom millwork, and carefully selected finishes create a cohesive, sophisticated aesthetic from room to room. The outdoor living experience is equally impressive. The expansive covered rear patio features its own fireplace, creating an inviting setting for morning coffee, intimate evenings, or entertaining friends and family. Beyond the patio, the private, level backyard offers exceptional possibilities for a future pool and resort style outdoor living environment. An oversized three car garage provides generous space for larger vehicles, storage, and everyday convenience. Built on a slab foundation, this thoughtfully designed new-construction home combines modern construction, exceptional functionality, and elevated architectural detail without sacrificing usable living space.
