Entertaining is effortless in the massive kitchen, outfitted with a six-burner gas stove, double ovens, double refrigerators, generous counter space, and an extra-large walk-in pantry. A pass-through connects to the formal dining room, currently styled as a theatre and playroom, while a double-sided fireplace links kitchen and family room; a wet bar sets the tone for gatherings or family smoothie night. The main-level primary suite includes two walk-in closets, its own washer and dryer, plus a bath with walk-in shower and claw-foot tub. Outside: an in-ground saltwater pool, screened room, huge patio, and fenced yard—made for long, easy afternoons.

A separate relaxation room extends the suite’s spa sensibility, complete with an indoor hot tub room. With additional acreage also available for purchase, the setting offers room to shape a lifestyle that feels both expansive and intentionally designed.
