Commanding the golf-front in Windward Hills, this custom Granville is designed around long, open views and easy everyday comfort. Double sliders connect the dining and living room to an enclosed 40×10 lanai—heated and air-conditioned—so the golf course backdrop becomes a year-round extension of the interior. In the designer kitchen, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, granite countertops, crown molding, chair rail, and a dedicated eat-in area frame a generous prep zone for the cook who likes to spread out. A den with a closet and French doors adds flexible space for added guests, while a golf cart garage keeps gear neatly tucked away. The primary suite includes its own mini-split A/C and heat unit, plus a large bath with a double shower; the second bath features a new Jacuzzi bath, setting an unhurried pace to the day.

Set on a level lot just over one-third of an acre in Crawfordville, this like-new 2023 Hartsfield Construction build pairs clean execution with thoughtful, everyday function. Ten-foot ceilings and luxury vinyl plank flooring run throughout—no carpet—while wooden trim molding around the windows adds warmth and definition. In the kitchen, shiplap accent walls frame stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, creating a crisp backdrop for daily cooking and gathering. The split bedroom plan supports privacy, with a dedicated guest suite and a half-bath powder room in addition to three full bathrooms. Tray ceilings with fans, custom blinds or shades on all windows and doors, and a frameless shower in the primary bath underscore the attention to detail. Off the garage, a large laundry room doubles as a drop zone and butler’s pantry. Outside, a fenced yard and grilling patio extend living into the open air.

Along the water’s edge in Melrose, this brick home spans two parcels totaling 4.47 acres, with 300 feet of frontage on Lake Serena.

The garage has been thoughtfully converted into a master bedroom with two built-in closets and an adjoining laundry room, adding flexibility to the layout. A large kitchen centers on a farmhouse sink, generous counter space, soft-close cabinets, and a pantry, with all appliances included. Storage is a theme throughout, from built-in IKEA shelves in the family room to a shipping container used for overflow. Step onto the back deck for morning coffee overlooking the backyard, complete with a chicken coop and a green shed with electric.

The location keeps the water close for simple pleasures—morning walks by the lake, afternoons shaped by boating and fishing, and weekends that can revolve around local events without straying far from home. Set in Crescent City, it balances a peaceful setting with the feeling that the best parts of the area are always within reach. Living here feels less like a getaway and more like a return to rhythm.
