Welcome to one of the most thoughtfully upgraded homes on the market. This is not your standard neighborhood build. Every detail has been intentionally elevated, and it shows the moment you walk through the door. Engineered hardwood floors, custom trim and millwork, and an iron-inspired staircase set the tone from the start. The front office features glass pocket doors and real wood blinds, making it one of the most impressive home workspaces you'll find in this price range. In the living room, custom built-ins and tailored window coverings deliver the kind of polished, finished look that most homes simply don't offer. The kitchen and breakfast area are next-level. A custom dry bar, glass-front upper cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, upgraded fixtures and hardware, and perfectly coordinated counters, backsplash, and appliances make this space feel like it came straight from a design magazine. Upstairs, the primary suite carries that same energy with fresh designer paint, an enlarged spa-style shower, added storage, and the highly sought-after direct pass-through from the primary bath to the laundry room. Step outside and the attention to detail continues. The former porch has been fully converted into a four-season sunroom with sliding windows, solar roller shades, and a dedicated minisplit system, giving you a space you'll actually use all year long. The backyard has been professionally graded with upgraded landscaping, a stained privacy fence, an additional parking pad, and an electric driveway gate. A SimpliSafe security system plus three hard-wired Ring cameras (doorbell and dual floodlights) round it out with built-in peace of mind. This home is high-end, highly functional, and legitimately move-in ready. It stands in a league of its own.
