There are houses that check every box. And then there are houses that make you stop and take notice. Set within Marlin Estates, 20 W Francis is a striking new-construction residence where scale, proportion, and elevated finishes come together in a way that feels decidedly different. Nearly 4,200 square feet of living space unfolds across a half-acre setting, with 10-foot ceilings spanning both levels and an architectural presence that continues well beyond the front door. Inside, volume is the defining element. A dramatic vaulted living room creates an immediate sense of arrival, while the vaulted primary suite and vaulted primary bath transform the private wing into a true retreat. Throughout the home, oversized 8-foot, two-panel doors add weight and continuity to the design, complementing the generous ceiling heights and clean architectural lines. The kitchen is finished with Taj Mahal quartz countertops and a matching backsplash, creating a sophisticated centerpiece designed as much for entertaining as it is for everyday living. Upstairs, even the practical spaces have been given a designer touch, including a dedicated laundry room accented by a striking feature wall. Five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths provide the scale expected of a home of this caliber, while two-zone heating and air conditioning deliver comfort throughout both levels. Outside, the experience shifts effortlessly from sophisticated to resort-like. A private gunite in-ground pool anchors the backyard, creating an exceptional setting for long summer afternoons, evening entertaining, and everything in between. This is not simply a larger home with upgraded finishes. It is a carefully considered residence where ceiling height, proportion, materials, and indoor-outdoor living were treated as part of the architecture itself. 20 W Francis is luxury without excess — dramatic where it should be, refined where it matters, and designed to be experienced.
