"Like new construction" may be the most accurate way to describe this exceptional property! Completely transformed from its former self, this home represents an inspired reimagining and remarkable metamorphosis into something truly special. Better yet, it offers the advantages of a beautifully established neighborhood in highly regarded Inverness Shores, along with property taxes that are refreshingly attractive for a home of this stature. The modern farmhouse exterior immediately makes an impression, blending quality materials including James Hardie siding and brick to create a timeless yet current aesthetic that sets the stage for what awaits inside. Step through the front door into an inviting two-story foyer, where a graceful curved bridal staircase provides a striking introduction to the home. The stunning island kitchen is truly something to behold and certain to inspire any culinary enthusiast. Professional-grade appliances, including Thermador, combine with abundant custom cabinetry, expansive counter space and a beautiful breakfast bay to create a space equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. Serving as the centerpiece of the home comes naturally here. An open transition connects the kitchen to the spacious family room, anchored by a handsome limestone fireplace, complemented by a bay sitting area and direct access to the rear patio. There is ample room to host larger gatherings, yet the space remains warm and comfortable enough for quiet nights at home. A versatile flex room adapts beautifully to a variety of needs, whether envisioned as a home office, study, living room or combination of uses. Double French doors allow the space to be private when desired or opened to become part of the home's natural flow. A generously sized formal dining room stands ready for holidays, dinner parties and special occasions. The main level also features a spacious mudroom with custom built-in lockers and a separate service entrance, adding both convenience and thoughtful functionality. Upstairs, the transformation continues with a layout redesigned to reflect the way people live today. Each bedroom features its own distinctive ceiling detail, adding architectural interest and individual character. The primary suite is an impressive private retreat featuring a spa-like bath with soaking tub, oversized shower, double-sink vanity and private water closet. A large walk-in closet with custom built-ins completes the suite. A second bedroom enjoys its own private en-suite bath, while the remaining two bedrooms share a thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill arrangement. An expansive second-floor laundry room adds yet another level of everyday convenience. And there is still more. The full finished basement significantly expands the home's living and entertaining possibilities and includes a full bath along with additional storage. A three-car side-load garage, zoned heating and cooling systems, beautiful architectural details and an extensive list of improvements round out a property where the quality of the transformation is evident throughout. This is not an updated home, it is a complete reinvention, combining the fit and finish of new construction with a custom home feel.
