Quiet luxury, reimagined. Beyond a private electronic gate, a long, tree-lined drive winds past illuminated ponds and twin fountains, unveiling a stately 5,000+ sq ft estate set on over five serene acres. From the moment you arrive, this home feels like a private retreat—elegant, intentional, and impeccably updated. A brick-paved portico and welcoming courtyard with a custom bronze fountain set the tone as double French doors open to soaring 12-foot ceilings, tile floors, and a grand living room anchored by a fireplace. A private office with built-in shelving sits just off the entry, while the formal dining room impresses with its dramatic coved ceiling and French doors opening to a charming side patio. The heart of the home is a modern, beautifully appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and expansive counter space—seamlessly flowing into a sunny breakfast nook and inviting family room with a second fireplace. Nearby, a media room, tech closet with Wi-Fi tower, and half bath offer everyday convenience. Designed for flexibility and multigenerational living, the main level also features a private in-law suite with its own living/conference room, kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, and private entrance—currently used as a professional office suite. The luxurious primary retreat is also on the main floor, complete with two generous closets and a spa-like ensuite bath, along with a second ensuite bedroom, hobby room, and laundry room. Upstairs, a sweeping staircase leads to three additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, a cozy lounge area, a large storage room, and a covered balcony overlooking the grounds. Step outside to a screened-in pool and spa framed by stone pavers and generous lounging areas, all with peaceful views of the lush pasture beyond—perfect for entertaining or unwinding in complete privacy. In 2020, the entire property underwent a comprehensive renovation, including a new roof, plumbing, electrical wiring, multiple HVAC systems, new pool and spa, a number of upgraded windows, fresh landscaping and sod, brick pavers, concrete driveway, all new flooring, fully remodeled kitchen and baths, and multiple new fountains—giving the home an effective age of 2020. Additional upgrades include a 24-kW whole-house generator, reclaimed water irrigation across the full five acres, and a 500-gallon propane tank. This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully renovated estate that delivers privacy, elegance, and exceptional value—all at an incredible price.
