Rebuilt from the ground up in 2016 and enhanced with a series of remarkable upgrades, this Mac-Groveland home lives like high-end new construction—thoughtfully designed, beautifully finished, and exceptionally functional. The open main level centers on a stunning kitchen with an expansive Cambria island, JennAir appliances including a commercial-grade gas range and built-in refrigerator, and layered lighting that elevates both cooking and entertaining. Every space feels connected and intentional, from the inviting living and dining areas to the well-planned mudroom and patio doors leading to the cedar deck. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a boutique retreat with an expansive custom closet system and a luxurious bath with a double vanity and frameless glass shower. Two additional bedrooms, a beautiful second bath, and an efficient, well-appointed laundry room complete the upper level. The lower level includes a compact exercise space and utility area, along with a clean, well-lit crawlspace with vapor barrier that offers practical storage without unnecessary maintenance. The three-car garage is extraordinary—two separate, fully finished spaces, each insulated and climate-controlled with its own HVAC system, recessed lighting, and loft storage above. Third stall is ideal for a home gym, office, or studio. A fully paid-off All Energy Solar array provides ongoing utility credits. With high-quality materials, modern systems, and thoughtful design throughout, this home delivers the sophistication of new construction at a rare value.
