About This Home

Positioned on a prominent corner lot within one of Smithton’s most desirable and peaceful neighborhoods, this exceptional four-bedroom, three-bath residence is a study in thoughtful design, enduring materials, and quiet sophistication. Every element of the home has been intentionally reimagined—resulting in a property that is not only beautifully appointed, but remarkably well-prepared for the rhythms of everyday living. The exterior immediately conveys a sense of permanence and refinement, with Hardie fiber cement siding, stone accents, upgraded soffit and fascia, and oversized six-inch gutters. A three-car garage, expanded concrete drive with dedicated RV accommodations, and curated landscaping frame the home with both function and elegance. The backyard unfolds as a private, park-like setting—complete with a fully fenced section, an expansive paver patio set on concrete (approximately 880 square feet), and a striking outdoor kitchen designed to accommodate gas, wood, or charcoal cooking. It is a space equally suited for gathering and retreat. Inside, the home reveals a meticulous level of craftsmanship. The main level has been entirely refined with rich walnut flooring over a reinforced subfloor, custom wood trim, and all new windows and doors—ground-level openings thoughtfully upgraded to Pella Impervia fiberglass and further enhanced with shatter-resistant security film. The kitchen, expanded and remodeled by Callier & Thompson, serves as both centerpiece and anchor—featuring soft-close cabinetry, oversized doors, and commercial-grade appliances, all arranged with intention and flow. The adjoining family room offers warmth and character, with a wood-burning stove framed by stone and brick, creating a space that feels both grounded and inviting. Subtle yet meaningful details continue throughout, including soapstone countertops, beadboard accents in the primary suite, and cohesive lighting and fixture selections that elevate without overwhelming. The lower level, professionally finished by Fulford, extends the home’s livability with a fourth bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, and a dedicated theater room. Nine-foot ceilings, widened doorways, and a thoughtfully designed utility and storage area contribute to a space that feels fully integrated rather than secondary—ideal for guests, extended living, or quiet escape. Beyond aesthetics, the home excels in performance and preparedness. A high-efficiency Bryant HVAC system is complemented by a whole-house humidifier and air scrubber, while an 80-gallon hybrid water heater, upgraded electrical system with additional panel, whole-house surge protection, integrated generator with EMP shield, and a water-powered backup sump pump provide a level of infrastructure rarely found. An ADT security system with cameras offers further peace of mind. Additional enhancements include a hot tub-ready patio, attic fan and added insulation for energy efficiency, upgraded gas service, garage floor coating, a substantial outbuilding with concrete pad, rainwater collection system, and carefully engineered drainage improvements. The result is a home that feels both composed and enduring—equally capable of hosting and of offering quiet refuge. It is, at its core, a property defined not by a single feature, but by the cumulative intention behind every decision. A rare offering—where craftsmanship, comfort, and foresight converge.
