About this property

Exceptional, custom developer-built home in the heart of the Southport Corridor-an extra-wide, extra-deep residence offering an impressive 5BD/4.1BA (easily lives as 6BD) and approx. 6,800 SF* of thoughtfully designed space. Every bedroom features abundant closet storage, most with dual closets or walk-in). Timeless millwork and high-end finishes throughout: marble-accented dining built-ins, elegant wainscoting along the staircase and halls, and two gas fireplaces, one in the living room and a second currently concealed behind the family room built-ins. Chef's kitchen boasts new quartz countertops, custom oversized island, walk-in pantry plus a second large pantry, and a premium appliance package including Viking range, KitchenAid refrigeration, plus refrigerator drawers, Bosch dishwasher, Zephyr hood, second oven, and wine cooler. Mudroom with extensive storage, main-level laundry (plus optional lower-level hookups), tankless water heater, instant hot at the kitchen sink, and filtered water at the kitchen sink. Primary suite includes soaring ceilings, Juliet balcony, HUGE walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and spa bath with marble floors, dual vanity, luxe bidet-style toilet, and steam shower. Comfort is dialed in with two furnaces, two A/C units, and humidifier, plus ceiling fans in all bedrooms and dimmers throughout. The lower level offers a large family room, additional bedroom, full bath, dog wash, and exceptional storage. The top floor lives like a private apartment, full bath, living/lounge area, and its own outdoor space, plus recently refinished hardwood on the 4th floor. Outdoor living shines with a built-in outdoor gas firepit/fireplace in the yard, custom cover included for weather protection, electrical + water hookups running to exterior areas (lower/upper decks), plus gas line for grill. IPE wood on all exterior decking off the home, stairs, and garage roof deck (Trex on 4th floor). Newer sprinkler system (front yard + parkway). Heated front steps/walkway, new heating element recently installed. Thoughtful infrastructure upgrades include exterior wiring routed into its own conduit along the stairs to the roof deck for a cleaner look. Roof fully replaced approx. 10 years ago (25-year warranty-transferability to be verified). Bull Dog Security system. Massive 3-car brick garage with raised ceiling and incredible built-in storage, plus rooftop deck over the garage. Unbeatable location, Walker's Paradise, steps to Southport shops/dining, parks, Whole Foods, and easy train access; located in the coveted Burley school district.
