This exceptional custom residence-built as the personal home of an experienced builder-offers unmatched space and craftsmanship at its price point. Far larger than similarly priced properties, it delivers extraordinary square footage across four levels, including a rare third-floor suite with a bedroom area, loft, full bath, and walk-in closet. Constructed with enduring quality, the home features a brand new 50-year roof, all-brick exterior with natural stone and cedar accents, and a three-car attached garage. The dramatic two-story family room centers around a hand-built masonry fireplace, creating a striking focal point for everyday living. The lower level is designed for true entertaining: a hotel-sized bar with multiple beverage refrigerators, TVs, an ice maker, dishwasher, and full oven/range. Even the floors have radiant heat. Every detail reflects thoughtful design and exceptional quality rarely found in this price category. Quick close is possible.
