This beautiful, stylish, and modern home is designed for premium comfort and backyard group entertainment. Having undergone a complete "down to the studs" remodel in 2023, this turnkey property features all-new plumbing, new water lines (including the pool), all new electrical, and high-end modern fixtures throughout. Open Concept Living: High ceilings paired with modern; bright white walls & lighting fixtures create a relaxing, expansive, and open feel. Main-Floor Master Suite: Convenient downstairs master bedroom featuring a walk-in closet with endless possibilities for customization. Spa-Like Master Bath: The downstairs bathroom can be accessed from the bedroom or hallway and boasts a large walk-in shower and a unique, sleek modern bathtub. Upstairs Loft: A spacious loft overlooking the main living area offers flexible space for a bedroom, home office, hobby room, or additional living area, complete with its own full bathroom and shower. Turnkey Ready: The property comes fully furnished, including all new 2023 appliances, premium remote-operated privacy curtains, and original oil painting artwork. Flexible Square Footage: Features a full, unfinished, mostly dry basement with endless potential, plus a heated and cooled attached 1-car garage that can easily be converted into an additional master bedroom, if more room is what you need. Backyard & Outdoor Oasis Inground Pool: A massive 40' x 20' swimming pool with all-new 2023 water lines. Outdoor Conveniences: Fully equipped with an outside bathroom and a dedicated kitchenette for effortless hosting. Includes a dry, older 50' x 30' outbuilding featuring an attached porch in the backyard with ceiling fans and an original, fully working brick cooker. This turnkey luxury property offers a chic, high-end aesthetic feel that is difficult to replicate in today's market. Priced significantly below current reproduction costs.
