With open living space, the home includes five bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath, three powder rooms, and a two-car garage. Designed and built by an architect and engineer husband-and-wife team with more than 20 years of experience, every element reflects quality construction and careful attention to detail.

The lower level is designed for entertaining and relaxation, featuring a wet bar, playroom, gym, sauna, steam shower, and private guest suite. The main level includes expansive living and dining areas, a custom chef’s kitchen with a secondary prep kitchen, and a private office. Upstairs, four bedrooms and a laundry room complete the level.

Ceiling heights of approximately 11 feet in the lower level, 13 feet on the main level, and 11 feet upstairs create a bright, airy atmosphere. Oversized aluminum windows fill the interiors with natural light, while an elevator provides access to all three levels. A dramatic floating staircase rises from the basement to the second floor, complemented by Tom Dixon lighting in the foyer and stair areas and handmade glass chandeliers in the living and dining rooms.

The living room is anchored by a 72-inch gas fireplace wrapped in floor-to-ceiling porcelain slab tile. Common areas feature smart home controls for lighting and integrated audio. The gourmet kitchen is custom-designed with floor-to-ceiling wood veneer cabinetry, premium Miele appliances, a waterfall quartz island, dedicated coffee station, and sunny breakfast nook. The secondary prep kitchen adds function, while custom wine storage enhances the dining area.

Custom ceiling details with integrated LED lighting bring a refined architectural finish to the main level. The open layout connects the office, dining, living, and kitchen spaces, creating an ideal setting for daily living and entertaining. A 10-foot, 6-inch aluminum sliding door opens to a spacious composite deck and landscaped backyard with retaining walls, extending the living space outdoors.

At the front of the home, a balcony enjoys unobstructed views and natural light. A custom pivot entry door measuring approximately 10 feet wide by 12 feet high creates a bold first impression.

The luxurious primary suite is designed as a retreat, complete with a coffee station and beverage refrigerator, custom makeup vanity, and separate his-and-hers walk-in closets. The spa-inspired primary bath offers a freestanding soaking tub and oversized two-person glass shower with handheld, wall-mounted, rain, and body sprays, all controlled by a Kohler Anthem digital system.
