PRIVATE CUL-DE-SAC ELEVATED LIVING. BEAUTIFULLY AT HOME. Tucked away at the rear of an exclusive private cul-de-sac, this distinctive residence offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and effortless livability. Set within an intimate enclave of just four homes, the property occupies approximately one-third acre of beautifully landscaped green space, creating a private retreat with room to live, gather, garden, and enjoy the outdoors. From the moment you arrive, the home conveys an understated elegance. Light-filled interiors, generous proportions, and thoughtfully appointed spaces create an inviting setting equally suited to comfortable everyday living and sophisticated entertaining. The main level offers an easy, natural flow among the living and dining spaces, complemented by a well-designed kitchen that balances style and function. From here, the home transitions naturally to the outdoors, with double glass doors that lead to an expansive wrap-around deck overlooking the professionally landscaped grounds. A flexible bedroom or private office, complete with a bath, adds exceptional versatility for guests, working from home, or one-level living. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a comfortable sitting area, generous closets, and a beautifully appointed bath. Three additional bedrooms offer excellent proportions, while the expansive second bath features dual sinks and a separate bath and water closet for comfortable shared living. The lower level extends the home's possibilities with a generous walk-out recreation room featuring double glass doors opening directly to the patio. Raised planting beds offer an opportunity for gardening, while the surrounding green space provides a wonderful setting for entertaining, relaxing, play, and recreation for generations to come. The location completes the experience. Conveniently positioned near highly regarded private and public schools, dining, shopping, recreation, and transportation, the home also offers easy access to I-270 and I-495, with nearby bus service adding to its exceptional connectivity. Private yet wonderfully convenient, gracious yet comfortable, this is a home designed for living well—and living beautifully. More than a beautiful home, it is a place to create a beautiful life.
