Designed with restraint and refined through thoughtful renovation, 445 Drummond Drive is the one you have been waiting for. Set along one of Drewry Hills' most distinguished streets, this 8,000-square-foot home offers a rare balance of architectural discipline and modern capability. Originally built in 2006 and comprehensively renovated in 2014 by Williams Building Company, this home is a masterclass in scale and craftsmanship worthy of presidential presence.
Natural light, generous ceiling heights, and refined sightlines define the interiors with intimate rooms for focused conversation and areas conducive to larger gatherings. A chef's kitchen anchors the home, equipped with professional-grade appliances and thoughtful storage with an adjacent 500 bottle tasting room. The secondary spaces offer flexibility for work, retreat, and restoration. With six en-suite bedrooms, a lounge and gaming area, formal living and dining rooms, a casual living area with gas fireplace, home office and in-home gym there is everything one could ask for in a home.
The solarium with collapsable nano doors transitions the indoors out which become an extension of the home. Landscape features include mature trees, an original Thomas Sayer sculpture, circular drive, heated saltwater pool, sauna, and gas grill. This creates a private setting designed for unwinding after full days or hosting with ease when desired.
Modern systems operate discreetly in the background: solar panels, three Tesla powerwalls for energy storage, whole-home water filtration, two EV chargers, new HVAC, and tankless water heater work together to optimize performance and efficiency without sacrificing style or comfort.
Meticulously maintained, 445 Drummond Drive offers the beauty and efficiency of every upgrade that it's next owner could dream of without the hassle of living through a construction project. Let this turnkey home be your next opportunity. Thomas Sayer sculpture does not convey but is available for sale separately as are other art and furnishings.
