Overview

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the prestigious South of Grand neighborhood, this modern home offers rare privacy on a beautiful lot backing directly to Greenwood Park. Thoughtfully designed with architectural features and an emphasis on entertaining, the home blends striking design elements with highly functional living spaces. At the heart of it all is the kitchen, where custom cabinetry surrounds a dramatic 17-foot island. Quartz countertops, sleek cabinets, premium appliances elevate the design, while dual pantries, under-cabinet lighting, and abundant storage add everyday convenience. A tiered deck with high-performance decking and a spacious custom concrete patio extend the living space outdoors. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including two that share a spacious full bath. The standout is the primary suite featuring two large walk-in closets and an ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub, sauna, and a large steam shower. The lower level offers an additional bedroom and bath, ideal for guests or a private office. Additional highlights include a heated three-car garage, newer HVAC, Hardie Plank siding, lawn irrigation, and an ADT security system.
