About 10720 US Highway 42

Welcome to 10720 US Hwy 42, a rare find in James Clove—a secluded cul-de-sac off Hwy 42 with just four private residences. Nestled on five scenic acres, this 6,701-square-foot home is a private retreat in the heart of Prospect. Thoughtfully updated with over $300,000 in improvements, it combines space, privacy, and modern convenience in a way that's hard to find. A tree-lined driveway leads you in, setting the tone for the peace and seclusion this property offers. Inside, natural light pours through expansive windows, highlighting the backyard views and the home's open, inviting layout. Off the entry, a wood-paneled office with built-in cabinetry provides a quiet, functional space tucked away from the main living areas. The formal dining room is ready for hosting, while the fully remodeled kitchen is designed for both serious cooking and casual gatherings. Custom honeysuckle maple cabinetry offers ample storage, while a Wolf M Series double oven, SubZero 48" refrigerator, and a 33" farmhouse sink overlooking the backyard make the space as beautiful as it is functional. Hardwood acacia (Asian walnut) floors add warmth and character throughout. The first-floor primary suite is a true retreat with private deck access, a completely renovated en-suite bath, and a spacious walk-in closet. The bathroom features a soaking tub, a frameless glass shower, quartz countertops, and custom cabinetry. Just off the bedroom, a sunroom connects to the den and offers a flexible space for a second office, sitting area, or anything you need. A large laundry room off the kitchen rounds out the main level. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms all have walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms. Two share a fully renovated Jack and Jill bath, while the third has a private bath. An unfinished space offers room to expand, whether for a fifth bedroom or an additional laundry room. The finished walkout basement is designed for entertaining, with a custom-built wet bar, warm wood-look porcelain tile flooring, and plenty of space for movie nights, game days, or hosting guests. A separate gym area and a beautifully updated guest suite with a spa-like bathroom add even more function to this level. Step outside, and the backyard speaks for itself. A fully fenced, resort-style space features a 15'6" x 35' saltwater pool with a heat pump, lighting, and a custom winter cover. A fire pit, stone patio, and retaining walls create the perfect setting for evenings outside. A restored and stained deck with a new Undercover system, complete with lighting and a fan, makes outdoor living comfortable year-round, while a custom Sunsetter awning provides effortless shade on warmer days. This home has been upgraded for efficiency and comfort, with new Carrier HVAC systems installed in 2021 and 2023, a whole-home water filtration system, and new Pella windows in the main living room and primary bath. This is a rare opportunity to own a private, move-in-ready retreat with space to spread out, entertain, and enjoy. Schedule your private tour today!
