About This Home

In the McKenzie School District, this Nantucket-inspired home offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a layout that truly works-balancing architectural detail with everyday livability. Built in 2010, the home is rich in character, from the welcoming front porch and Craftsman-style entry to the barrel-vaulted beadboard foyer, tall ceilings, paneled millwork, coffered ceilings, and custom built-ins. The main level is designed for how people actually live, with a seamless connection between the kitchen, family room, and outdoor space. The kitchen features a paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, large island, and sunny eating area with fireplace. A private office, formal living and dining rooms, and a bright mudroom with built-ins and separate yard entrance complete the level. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a beamed vaulted ceiling, custom closets, and a timeless marble bath. Three additional bedrooms include one ensuite, while two offer walk-in closets. Second-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. The finished lower level offers tall ceilings and exceptional flexibility, including a rec room with fireplace, a fully equipped wet bar with three beverage refrigerators, Bosch dishwasher, microwave, and built-in cabinetry, plus a fifth bedroom, full bath, office, exercise room, pantry with additional refrigerator, and generous storage. The fully fenced backyard is designed for both entertaining and daily use, with a large deck, slate patio, pergola-covered fire pit, outdoor speakers, landscape lighting, and thoughtfully integrated pathways. Two-car garage plus parking pad for a third car.
