Every detail, from the under-mount lighting to the custom tile backsplash, has been thoughtfully curated to create an atmosphere of warmth, sophistication, and effortless functionality.

Each of the fully renovated bathrooms...spanning the serene primary suite, Jack & Jill, and guest bath...exudes timeless refinement, with hand-selected materials and elevated finishes. In the living area, a newly installed wood-burning fireplace with a custom cypress mantle, new chimney, and bespoke built-in cabinetry topped with quartz creates a stunning focal point, complemented by a brick-accent dining wall that adds both texture and character.

The 5th bedroom has been converted into a show stopping *Her's* custom closet...a dream come true for the discerning homeowner. Designed with the precision of a luxury boutique, this space offers a blend of beauty and functionality with custom built-ins featuring an abundance of shelves for shoes and accessories, an island with soft-close storage, and natural lighting that transforms daily dressing into an experience. It's more than a closet...it's a personal sanctuary of organization and style.

Throughout the home, no detail has been overlooked. New flooring, recessed lighting, custom shutters, designer fixtures, and solid two-panel doors with premium hardware elevate every space. Intricate trim work frames each door and window, while a fresh, neutral palette provides a flawless canvas for any decor.

The screened back porch, finished with a pine tongue-and-groove ceiling and stone tile flooring, invites you to relax and take in the sweeping lake views. A rebuilt irrigation system, new paver driveway, and enhanced exterior lighting complete the home's picture-perfect presentation.
