About This Home
As of October 2025This stately WaterColor home with private pool and carriage house occupies one of the largest lots in the community. Decorative rain-chain downspouts and full-width porches create instant curb appeal. Professionally decorated throughout, the first floor has shiplap walls, neutral furnishings and mellow hardwood flooring. The light, open family room is perfect for family gatherings and entertaining with a more intimate sitting area around the feature fireplace. Keen cooks will appreciate the gourmet kitchen, which is fully equipped with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, including a double oven. White cabinets and a large pantry store everything neatly out of sight. Marble countertops add a sophisticated finish to the large island with its high-top bar.
