From the moment you arrive, the home makes a striking impression, thoughtfully designed to frame a dramatic sightline through the grand entry and expansive rear windows to the rolling hills and panoramic vistas beyond. Upon entering, the soaring ceilings, custom finishes, and walls of windows create a warm, yet elegant atmosphere filled with natural light. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a center island, double warming ovens, premium appliances, a walk-in pantry and picturesque views that elevate everyday living. Multiple living and dining spaces provide exceptional flexibility for entertaining, while the dedicated movie theater room brings the cinematic experience to the comfort of home.
