This amazing custom home was carefully crafted by Starcraft Builders, and has been loving cared for. It is loaded with builder upgrades including coffered and vaulted ceilings, a lovely gas-log fireplace with stacked stone front, gleaming hardwood floors, multiple built-in bookcases, and spray-foam attic insulation. Great curb appeal. A rocking-chair-style front porch greets you and your guests. Amazing open floorplan--the family room, kitchen and dining room areas flow together seamlessly. Beautiful hardwood flooring graces the entire main level except the bathrooms and the laundry room. The spacious kitchen will delight the chefs in your family with Jenn Air appliances including 6-burner gas range with gas oven, double electric wall ovens with microwave, and an XOV range hood. Extra-large built-in side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, and wine chiller. The L-shaped kitchen island contains the dishwasher and an apron-front ceramic farmhouse-style sink. The island has plenty of bar seating for entertaining, homework, or your more informal meals. In addition to the office/study, there are three generously-sized bedrooms on the main level including the primary suite. All have ceiling fans. The spa-like primary bath has a free-standing tub, large shower with custom tile, dual-sink vanity, separate water closet with pocket door, and a convenient linen closet. The primary suite has a huge walk-in closet. The main level has multiple pantries and closets providing generous storage. There is a mud-room entry from the garage with drop-zone built-ins to keep you organized. The laundry room has built-ins storage. There is an additional semi-conditioned storage room in the garage. On the second level you will find a 34'x13' bonus room and another full bath. The bonus space has carpet, a vaulted ceiling, a wall of built-ins, and a wall of windows. The attic is accessed from the second floor. You will love the screened porch which runs across the back of the home. It overlooks the pool area, and is accessed from the family room/dining room area, from the laundry room, and from the primary suite bedroom. Outdoor living spaces include 20x50 salt-water in-ground heated pool and 10x10 sundeck with textured plaster (color Martinique) with deco tile border; travertine paver surround; pergola; two firepits; amazing outdoor kitchen with grill and two AOG outdoor refrigerators. The home is fitted with 32 solar panels which can power the whole property most months. The home is served by a well and has a 4-tank whole-house water filtration system.

The home features a 3-car attached garage plus a 1-car detached garage for a total of four bays. The detached garage would make a great workshop, potting shed, a place for a boat, or for storing outdoor items such as lawnmower, bikes, kayaks, and pool toys. There is plenty of level, paved driveway space for additional parking and outdoor sports. The almost 2-acre lot has many fruit trees including almond, pear, pecan, peach, and apple trees, and a spectacular fig tree.
