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.
