Agent Description

Set on a rare 0.75-acre private lot in the heart of WDM, every space has been curated with intention. The main level sets the tone with refinished hardwoods, a striking entry and a dedicated office with built-ins. The kitchen is the true centerpiece - anchored by quartzite surfaces, Ovation cabinetry, and a full suite of premium appliances includin

g double Thermador ovens and a gas cooktop, all seamlessly connected to both formal and casual dining spaces. A sunroom wrapped in light extends the living experience, while the marble-surround fireplace creates a warm focal point. Motorized shades add a layer of quiet sophistication.

Upstairs, the primary suite is designed as a retreat with heated tile floors, a spa-style bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, and a custom closet complete with its own washer/dryer. Three additional bedrooms and well-appointed baths offer flexibility.

The lower level expands the lifestyle: a full entertainment zone with LVP flooring, kitchenette/bar, game area, family room, fifth bedroom, and bath. A resort-caliber backyard unfolds with a heated saltwater pool (2022), tanning ledge, and expansive patio.

The covered composite deck with infrared heaters and motorized screens creates a true indoor-outdoor living experience. A StruXure Pergola X with power and lighting anchors the space. Additional features include a 3-car (850 SF) garage with epoxy floors, irrigation, central vac, R/O, water softener and security.
