Some homes are designed for a season. This one was designed for a lifetime. Tucked away in Le Jardin d'Abel, this custom-built home is a refreshing departure from today's trends. Its clean architectural lines, timeless finishes, and impeccable craftsmanship create a home that feels both elegant and livable.

The approach is unforgettable. A brick lined driveway and welcoming front porch offer the kind of charm that never goes out of style. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and custom millwork create bright, airy spaces that feel both grand and inviting.

At the center of the home is a kitchen designed for gathering. Outfitted with panel-ready appliances, a six-burner gas range, and a beautifully appointed butler's pantry, it's equally suited for quiet mornings, family dinners, or entertaining on a larger scale.

Clever details including a hidden space beneath the staircase, a tucked-away coffee or cocktail bar, and a purposeful scullery add both character and function. The first-floor owner's suite is a retreat in every sense of the word. Vaulted ceilings, a spa-inspired bath, and an exceptional custom closet complete with its own island, vanity, hidden shoe storage, and direct access to the laundry room make everyday living feel luxurious.

Also included are three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a huge bonus room ready to become whatever you need. Step outside and the home continues to impress. The covered outdoor living area was designed to be enjoyed year-round, with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a separate fireside lounge that invites long conversations and relaxed evenings.

Behind the beauty is quality you can feel. Built with durable 2x6 exterior walls for added strength, energy efficiency, and sound insulation, this home was constructed with intention. Classic rather than trendy. Refined without feeling formal. A home where timeless design, exceptional craftmanship, and everyday comfort come together beautifully.
