From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the majestic rock turrets and towers, the wrought iron Juliet balcony, and the breathtaking attention to detail that makes this home truly one-of-a-kind. The grand entrance welcomes you with a hand-painted mural, an exquisite staircase, and intricate finishes that set the tone for this impeccably designed residence. Spanning 4,625 heated square feet, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom estate features double crown molding, warm pine flooring, a mesmerizing pass-through aquarium, and custom built-ins.

The primary suite is a private sanctuary, featuring a spa-like ensuite with a turret shower, a soaking tub, a double vanity, and a stunning pass-through fireplace. Upstairs, the expansive media and bonus room, along with two additional bedrooms and a full bath, offer endless possibilities for relaxation, entertainment, or even additional living space—the bonus room could be converted into two extra bedrooms. Outside, an outdoor kitchen and three fireplaces create the perfect ambiance for entertaining, while a whole-house generator ensures peace of mind. The separate 2-car garage offers potential for a workshop or a second-story addition.
