Description

Gracefully set within a picturesque 1.6-acre wooded landscape, this proposed brick-clad residence is a graceful expression of timeless design and understated elegance. Framed by mature trees and natural surroundings, the setting evokes a sense of calm and quiet retreat-an environment where the beauty of the outdoors becomes part of everyday living. The architecture is rooted in classic European influence, brought to life through rich bickwork, balanced proportions, and thoughtfully curated spaces that feel both refined and welcoming. Inside, the home unfolds with intention-where light, scale, and flow are carefully considered at every turn. A beautifully appointed kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring an expansive island, generous walk-in pantry, and seamless connection to the main living area. The adjacent family room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, opens effortlessly to the covered rear porch through sliding glass doors, creating a natural rhythm between indoor comfort and outdoor living. A separate dining room offers a more intimate setting for gatherings, while a dedicated main-level office provides a quiet and sophisticated workspace. The first-floor primary suite is designed as a true retreat-offering a sense of ease and refinement with thoughtfully designed proportions and a connection to the surrounding landscape. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms provide both comfort and flexibility, including one space ideally suited as a secondary office, lounge, or study-allowing the home to adapt to a variety of lifestyles. The lower level extends the living experience in a meaningful way, featuring a guest bedroom and full bath, an expansive recreation area, and a dedicated space for wellness or leisure-whether envisioned as a fitness studio or golf simulator. Ample storage ensures the home remains as functional as it is beautiful. The grounds offer an exceptional opportunity to create a truly personalized outdoor environment. With room to design a resort-inspired setting-pool, terraces, and curated landscape elements-the property becomes a canvas for elevated outdoor living. This is an opportunity to build something enduring-where architecture, setting, and lifestyle come together in a way that feels both intentional and effortless. PLEASE NOTE: THIS HOME IS NOT YET BUILT. THE IMAGES PROVIDED ARE DESIGN RENDERINGS INTENDED TO ILLUSTRATE THE PROPOSED FINISHED PRODUCT. ESTIMATED DELIVERY IS APPROXIMATELY 12-13 MONTHS FROM CONTRACT SIGNING.
