Covering the front entry, a covered porch features stone accents, dual black lanterns, and a pair of large black-framed glass doors. White horizontal siding wraps the exterior, with potted plants and trimmed greenery softening the hardscape. Natural light filters in from the side through multi-pane windows.

Taking up a large portion of the main level, the kitchen showcases two-tone cabinetry with light wood below and white uppers surrounding the perimeter. A broad island anchors the center, topped with white counters and framed by pendant lighting. A commercial-grade range with a bold metal hood sits between floating shelves and pantry-style cabinetry.

Wine Room
Visible through a full-glass door, the wine room is neatly lined with custom light-wood shelving that holds both upright bottles and horizontal storage racks.

Children’s Playroom
Deep navy walls and built-in cabinetry frame the children’s playroom, which centers on a white rug and a kid-sized table for activities.

Natural light spills across the wide plank flooring of the primary bedroom, where a tufted headboard anchors a central upholstered bed. At the heart of the space, the bedroom connects to both a luxurious ensuite and a cozy media room through open doorways. Matching nightstands with lamps flank the bed, while a chandelier draws attention to the vaulted ceiling.
Bathroom
Dual vanities line each side of the ensuite bathroom, topped with marble counters and large framed mirrors. Positioned beneath a statement pendant light, the soaking tub rests inside a recessed arch flanked by curtained windows. Across from the tub, the space opens to a walk-in shower and additional storage cabinetry.
Bathroom
Set within an arched alcove of the bathroom, the freestanding soaking tub sits in front of a wide window dressed in sheer curtains. A sculptural ceiling light hangs above, softening the space and providing a focal point. The niche is integrated into the bathroom’s overall layout, directly adjacent to a full vanity with built-in lighting.
Walk-in Closet
Rows of open shelving, drawers, and hanging rods line the walk-in closet’s walls, offering organized storage for dresses, bags, and accessories. Positioned in the center, an island with marble top provides additional drawers and surface space. Mirrored cabinet doors reflect the space, creating a sense of openness in the women’s dressing area.
Walk-in Closet
Shoe racks and clothing shelves form the backbone of the men’s section of the walk-in closet, displaying suits, dress shirts, and sneakers. A double-sided island sits in the middle, serving both sides of the closet equally with ample drawer storage. Garment racks and shelves stretch into a connected space visible in the back, offering more room for seasonal items.
Bedroom
Centered beneath a vaulted ceiling, the primary bedroom features a cushioned bed flanked by matching white nightstands with table lamps. Tucked near the wall is a soft-toned dresser and a wide window trio framing a residential street view. A woven chandelier hangs above a bench at the foot of the bed resting on a pastel-patterned rug.
Bedroom
Illuminated by natural light from a wide front-facing window, the child’s bedroom showcases a tufted bed and mirrored nightstands. A crescent moon wall accent and fluffy white stools hint at a playful theme, along with a mini toy kitchen placed on the left. Hints of pink across the walls and bedding create a consistent tone throughout.
Bedroom
Bathed in daylight from three narrow windows, the guest bedroom is furnished with a low-profile bed and matching side tables holding bold purple lamps. Subtle decor, a textured white headboard, and a dual-tone rug on wooden floors complete the space. A curved lounge chair and side table sit quietly in the corner.

Designed for entertaining, the covered patio features an outdoor living area facing a stone fireplace with a mounted TV. Wicker-style seating surrounds a sculptural white table atop a textured rug. Beyond the seating area, a rectangular pool and outdoor dining setup stretch toward a tall hedge for privacy.

Outdoor living centers around a rectangular swimming pool paired with a square spa section on one end. Toward the patio side, a dining table with eight woven chairs is positioned beside a pair of lounge chairs under a scalloped umbrella. Privacy is maintained with a dense border of tall evergreens surrounding the entire area.
Sport Court
Nestled into a private corner of the yard, the sports court features a green surface marked with white basketball lines and a regulation hoop. The court is enclosed by a perimeter of tall, manicured trees and a white fence that separates it from the driveway. Overhead wires and a utility pole indicate the court’s location near the edge of the property line.
Driveway and Garage
Access to the home comes through a spacious concrete driveway that leads to a three-car garage with dark wood-style doors. A small covered entryway sits to the right of the garage, creating a secondary access point into the house. Exterior siding and natural stone detailing blend traditional and contemporary architecture.
Aerial View
Overhead perspective reveals a large, gabled home with a backyard that includes a swimming pool, patio, and basketball court. Multiple rooflines, a tall central chimney, and varied elevations define the home’s architectural profile. Landscaping lines the boundaries, while neighboring houses on either side suggest a suburban residential setting.
