Visualize what quiet luxury looks like. It starts with passing through the electronic gate, down the long, tree-lined driveway, nestled between lighted ponds with twin fountains, leading towards this stately 5,000+ sq ft home on over 5 acres. The entry courtyard features a welcoming custom bronze fountain and a brick-paved portico leading to a double French door entry. Sweeping into the living room with 12-foot ceilings, tile floors, and a fireplace, you'll pass the private office with a built-in desk and shelves. The formal dining room features a majestic coved ceiling and French doors to a side patio. The modern kitchen with stainless appliances offers an enormous amount of cabinet and counter space, opening to a breakfast nook and family room with a second fireplace. A media room, tech closet with Wi-Fi tower, and a half bath are steps away. Beyond that is a private in-law suite currently used as an office with a conference room/living room, bedroom, private bath, kitchenette, and private entry. Also located on the main floor is a luxurious primary bedroom suite with 2 generous closets and an ensuite bath, as well as a 2nd bedroom with an ensuite bath, a hobby room, and a laundry room.

This is an amazing home at an incredible price!
