About This Home
A masterfully crafted presale opportunity by Homestead Building Company, this custom built North Hills residence redefines luxury living. A grand covered entry opens to an oversized foyer, revealing wide-plank hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout the main level. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is boasting floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, premium quartz countertops, an expansive island with designer pendants, a scullery, and a butler's pantry complete with a wine column and elegant glass shelving. The vaulted family room—anchored by a custom-surround fireplace and a statement chandelier—features pocketing sliders that blur the line between indoor comfort and a spectacular outdoor oasis, featuring a screened porch with its own fireplace and an included luxury heated pool. The main-level primary sanctuary offers a custom trim ceiling, a freestanding soaking tub, a massive walk-in closet, and a spa-like tile shower. Upstairs, discover a private executive office, a media room with a wet bar, a versatile kid's lounge overlooking the family room, and pristine en suite bedrooms. Peerless design in Midtown's most coveted enclave.
