Uncompromised Quality of Life
The main residence features a generous 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath layout spanning over 3,500 square feet. The home was custom-built with high-quality wood trim and cabinetry. It was recently updated with new countertops and plumbing fixtures throughout, new light fixtures in the bathrooms, and new carpet in the bedrooms.
Designed for hosting and comfort, the home includes:
A true cooks kitchen: Massive in scale and perfectly positioned as the heart of the home. The kitchen features a center island, peninsula with bar seating, double ovens, butler’s pantry with ice maker and an informal dining area all overlooking the pool deck.
Dual Living Areas: Two distinct living spaces provide flexibility for a formal parlor and a relaxed family room. Both have vaulted, wood-lined ceilings and floor-to-ceiling stone fireplaces.
Masterful Proportions: This expansive split floor plan ensures that every member of the household enjoys their own quiet retreat. The layout is masterfully zoned to allow a large or multi-generational family to live together without compromise. At the heart of the home, the common areas act as a natural buffer, providing total seclusion for the primary suite while the rest of the residents thrive in their own dedicated wing.
The Private Wings
The Primary Sanctuary: A massive retreat designed for the head of household, featuring separate dual vanities with direct access to their individual walk-in closets and connected via the washroom. The bedroom has enough square footage to serve as a true private escape from the day’s activities. The primary bathroom features separate vanities, each in its own space
The Secondary Bedroom Wing: Located on the opposite side of the home, this wing is perfectly organized for children or guests. It features two oversized bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, ensuring ease for a shared morning routine. A third large secondary bedroom is serviced by an additional full hallway bath. Strategically placed, this bathroom also features access to the pool deck, serving as a convenient "mudroom" or changing area for swimmers while keeping the rest of the home dry and tidy.
Built for Elite Hosting & Indoor-Outdoor Flow
This estate was engineered for the entertainer who demands a seamless transition between a sophisticated interior and a resort-style backyard. Whether you are hosting a formal fundraiser or a relaxed weekend poolside, the home’s layout encourages a natural guest flow that centers around the heart of the property.
The Entertainment Anchor: A dedicated wet bar serves as the ultimate staging area for cocktail hours and social gatherings, strategically positioned to service both primary living areas.
Seamless Poolside Access: Forget being siloed in one room; the backyard oasis is an extension of the home. Multiple living areas feature direct access to the pool deck, blurring the lines between the climate-controlled interior and the five-acre outdoor landscape.
