About This Home
Private backyard retreat offers a rare sense of privacy and tranquility overlooking the peaceful wooded water view! One of the seller's favorite things about the home. The backyard sits high over the serene, wooded water backdrop, yet it still offers a nice, flatter space for kids or pets. Better Than New Luxury Living – Every Upgrade Already Complete. Don't miss the opportunity to drive by this home and experience its exceptional location. Tucked away at the back of the subdivision on a quiet cul-de-sac, this property offers larger-than-average lots, added privacy, and no homes directly behind it. Its peaceful setting is something that photos alone can't fully capture, making a drive through the neighborhood well worth the visit. Stunning custom luxury home that's only one year old and loaded with premium upgrades! Offering 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, this exceptional smart home sits on one of the most desirable homesites in the community. Step inside to soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that anchors the spacious great room. The chef's kitchen features high-end finishes, an open layout, and incredible views of the backyard. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, a luxurious primary suite with a spa-inspired bath featuring a walk-in tiled shower, freestanding soaking tub, and walk-in closet, plus an additional private bedroom suite perfect for guests or multigenerational living. The bright, mostly finished lower level offers a fifth bedroom, full bath, and additional living space. Elevated deck and covered patio below, while the rare extra-large 3-car garage provides exceptional storage. With many builder warranties still in place, this home also includes thousands of dollars in completed upgrades, including upgraded lighting, a larger finished concrete driveway, professional fencing, and custom finishes throughout. Located in an outstanding community with soccer and sports fields, playgrounds, fishing ponds, and a future clubhouse and
