    What's special

    Privacy fenceSculptural steel spiral staircaseUpdated french door hardwareRainfall showerheadsFully outfitted pantry
    Set on a picturesque 2.42-acre sloping homesite, 28787 Evergreen Terrace is a striking expression of modern design infused with Arts & Crafts character, offering a home that is as visually captivating as it is comfortably livable. From the moment you arrive, the approach sets the tone, oversized slate block and concrete pavers lead to a grand double-door entry, while a fully wrapped porch with newly added railings invites connection between indoor and outdoor living. Step inside to a breathtaking glass foyer where natural light illuminates black slate tile flooring and a dramatic two-story white marble feature wall that anchors the home and extends throughout all levels. A newly crafted cherry tread staircase with satin balusters and oak rails adds warmth and architectural detail, enhancing the home's refined aesthetic. The main living space impresses with soaring 20-foot ceilings and a Harman pellet stove set on a black marble base, creating both ambiance and efficiency. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed with oversized granite countertops, a full granite backsplash, extensive cabinetry, and continuous slate flooring. A standout feature is the rotating solid wood door that leads to a fully equipped stainless steel prep kitchen, complete with a walk-in pantry, additional prep counters, and dual sinks, ideal for entertaining or everyday function. Recent appliance upgrades include a ZLINE hood, slide-in gas range, and dishwasher. The entry-level bedroom offers flexibility and privacy, complete with a walk-in closet, pocket door, and direct access to the main living areas. The adjacent full bath has been enhanced with natural soapstone finishes and a new rainfall showerhead, delivering a spa-like experience. A sculptural steel spiral staircase leads to the finished lower level, where radiant heated slate flooring provides year-round comfort. This level has been expanded and improved with new walls, trim, and finishes, creating a spacious recreation area, a game room with rough-in plumbing for a future kitchen, and a striking locker room-style bath with floor-to-ceiling tile. A versatile two-room den, currently used as a bedroom, features new Berber carpeting, a slate sitting room, and French doors that open to the serene backyard. A grand marble fireplace with granite accents creates a cozy focal point for gathering. Upstairs, a newly constructed loft-style library overlooks the main living space and is adorned with Brazilian cherry hardwood floors and custom built-ins, offering a quiet retreat or workspace. Two generously sized bedrooms with tray ceilings and hardwood flooring share a beautifully appointed bath featuring original slate flooring, a sunken jetted tub, custom glass surrounds, dual vanities, and thoughtfully designed storage. Over the past five years, the home has undergone extensive improvements that enhance both form and function. These include a new hybrid boiler system supporting radiant heat, baseboard heating, and domestic hot water; two newer heat pumps and a recently installed attic air handler for efficient climate control; a newly drilled well; and numerous electrical updates with new lighting and ceiling fans throughout. Interior upgrades include fresh paint, drywall refinishing, new door hardware, and enhanced finishes across multiple levels. The basement has been significantly improved, the foyer completed, and additional features such as updated French door hardware, rainfall showerheads, a privacy fence, and a fully outfitted pantry add to the home's turnkey appeal. This is a home where thoughtful design meets meaningful upgrades—offering a unique blend of architectural artistry, modern convenience, and enduring comfort in a truly special setting.
