Set on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from Observatory Park, this beautifully updated custom home offers expansive, vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and an open floor plan designed for both everyday living and gracious entertaining. New Pella windows throughout and imported Ceramiche Castelvetro porcelain tile floors bring a fresh, modern polish throughout, complemented by custom Rustica steel-and-glass interior doors that add architectural character to every sightline. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the main gathering space, where the day's activities naturally unfold. The main-floor primary suite is a true retreat, featuring radiant heated floors, a spa-inspired bath, dual walk-in closets with a convenient, additional laundry hookup, and direct access to the outdoor living areas. A main-floor office or bedroom adds flexibility for working from home or hosting guests. The walk-out lower level lets the light pour into the space, providing a second destination for entertaining, complete with a spacious family room, dual-sided fireplace, wet bar, and wine storage, along with generous space for family and guests. Set on an oversized and private lot, multiple patios and mature landscaping create peaceful outdoor living spaces that extend the home's footprint well beyond its walls. A rare three-car garage, difficult to find in Observatory Park, provides additional flexibility for vehicles, storage, or hobbies. Striking architecture and thoughtful craftsmanship make this a home where every space is both purposeful and inviting.
