LUXURY MODERN FARM HOUSE WITH POOL...NOW PRICED UNDER APPRAISAL IN A GROWING LUXURY MARKET!!! Tucked behind a private gate on nearly an acre (.89) of serene land, this magazine-worthy, steel-frame home blends modern farmhouse warmth with timeless craftsman character. A wide staircase welcomes you up to an expansive front porch, an ideal spot to sit & soak in the peaceful surroundings. From the moment you step inside, the attention to detail is evident at every turn: Hand-scraped engineered hardwood, perfectly painted oversized baseboards, carefully selected lighting fixtures in every room, the contrast black island against the purposely weathered white kitchen cabinets, the custom built-in bar beneath the stairs and the custom built-in wine bar across from it...this home is a design masterpiece from one room to the next. Absolutely nothing ''standard'', and not a corner left without meticulous attention to design and detail. This home was designed to entertain family with a retreat at every common area corner whether indoors or out. Built on a 4' elevation with crawl space, this home layout was thoughtfully planned to seamlessly blend the common areas into an oasis for gatherings. A spacious back porch with tongue and groove ceilings is conveniently adjacent to the indoor kitchen, living, and casual dining space and is accessed by French doors. The porch offers additional dining and living separated by a beautiful outdoor kitchen featuring a keg-o-rater, mini friend, and gas grill. Also at a 4" elevation, it overlooks a beautiful salt-water pool with beach entry, waterfall, fire feature, spa, and LED lighting. There are lounging spaces on two corners of the lower level, plus an additional space with built-in Big Green Egg grilling area next to the cabana bath. A custom firepit pergola is centered at the back of the yard offering yet another space to enjoy as well as a striking design feature. It may look as though the yard stops there, but there is a second fenced-in area contiguous to this one currently reserved for the dogs to play, but would be great for other small livestock or fowl. Immediately outside of that area is a space set up with planter boxes ready for you to grow fruits or flowers. Additionally, the property features a pond accessible outside the fence behind the garage.
The garage is an oversized 3-car garage with Tesla EV charging and it's own split AC to keep it cool. It's partially set up as a workshop and has an additional fridge and freezer to support entertaining or large family living. A true farmhouse ½ bath is Jack-n-Jill to the pool area. Additional living space is above the garage featuring a large open room plus a private bedroom and full bath.
Those were the opening acts. Now to the Star of the Show...
The Main Home flows thoughtfully from one room to the next. Upon entering, an attractive craftsman staircase is prominently ahead: To the left is a large office featuring custom wall-to-wall, built-in desks divided by beautiful office cabinetry; To the right, a formal dining room leads to either the custom kitchen or the living area (which also connect to one another) with a few steps down. The kitchen offers a large island that features a farm sink (of course), and clustered glass pendant lighting. Appliances are stainless steel and the stove/oven are plumbed with propane gas. As host or hostess while standing at the sink, you can see what's happening with your guests or family mingling in the living room, the dining nook, and the primary outdoor entertaining spaces. It is truly the center of the home.
The Master Retreat offers nearly 900 sq ft of privacy on the first level overlooking the backyard with patio access. Tall windows yield plenty of natural light and herringbone floors set the stage of the bedroom. In the master bath, a soaking tub is perfectly nestled in the corner beneath high windows. Double sinks, designer floor-to-ceiling wood cabinetry, a walk-in glass-enclosed shower with built-ins, and unique tile floors are all expertly chosen for the space.
One other en suite bedroom with plush & pristine comfy carpeting is downstairs, and offers Jack-N-Jill access as the common downstairs/guest bath.
Upstairs, there is an additional living area with a large storage closet, a common ½ bath, and three bedrooms - two of which share a Jack-N-Jill large full bathroom with walk-in shower. All closets are walk-ins and have custom build-outs. There is extensive additional storage in the guest quarters above the garage on both sides of the large great room.
