Truly Unique
Kitchen
With natural light pouring in through the French doors and window above the sink, this kitchen is equal parts functional and fabulous. Warm wood cabinets with modern black hardware pair beautifully with granite countertops and a stylish mosaic tile backsplash. Stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, dishwasher, and double-door fridge, mean the only thing outdated in here is your cooking skills. The extended countertop provides bonus prep space, bar seating, and a casual dining zone that screams. Oh, and there’s a full dining nook with built-in bench seating.
Family Room
Tucked away on the lower level, this stylish family room checks every box for comfort, function, and modern charm. Freshly updated with wide-plank flooring and neutral tones, the space feels open yet cozy, thanks to recessed lighting and natural sunlight filtering through dual windows. Sleek electric fireplace with textured wood surround creates instant ambiance beneath a mounted TV. Just off to the side, a granite-topped bar area gives you the perfect spot for snacks, drinks, or pretending you’re finally opening that speakeasy you keep joking about.
Whether it’s movie marathons, sleepovers, or casual hangs, this room brings serious hangout energy—and might just become everyone’s favorite part of the house.
Welcome to your sanctuary: a stunning primary suite that brings warmth, space, and just the right touch. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams elevate the room, while rich wood floors and soft blush-toned walls create a cozy, modern vibe. A stone-faced wood-burning fireplace anchors the space with rustic charm, while a mounted TV above it ensures you never have to choose between ambiance and Netflix. Sliding glass doors flood the room with natural light and open to the private deck—ideal for morning coffee, evening wine, or dramatic exits.
The attached ensuite bathroom is an absolute showstopper, featuring a sleek glass-enclosed shower with designer tile, a freestanding soaking tub for your deep-thinking moments, and a modern vanity with stylish fixtures. Add in a smart layout with direct access from the bedroom and you’ve got the kind of retreat that makes you almost forget about your inbox.

Below, a covered gazebo with a large dining table and built-in grill area provides the ideal setup for outdoor entertaining, rain or shine. Just beyond, a rustic hand-built log playhouse adds a whimsical touch, whether for kids, storage, or your inevitable midlife off-grid fantasies. A hammock swings lazily nearby, and the flat, grassy expanse is perfect for games, gardening, or putting off your to-do list. The lower patio features artificial turf and gravel for low-maintenance lounging, plus a pet-ready enclosure for your four-legged dependents. Altogether, this backyard is more than a space—it’s a lifestyle, one that says “I could go inside, but why would I?”
