In the McKenzie School District, this beautifully executed Nantucket-inspired home offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, approx. 5,000 square feet, and exceptional architectural detail throughout. Built in 2010, it pairs timeless style with a highly functional floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. From the welcoming front porch, handsome Craftsman-style entry door, and barrel-vaulted beadboard foyer ceiling to the tall ceilings, paneled wainscoting, coffered ceilings, and custom built-ins found throughout, the home is rich in warmth, character, and thoughtful design. The main level offers a gracious living room with built-in shelving, elegant dining room with glass-front built-in cabinetry, a private office with French doors and built-in cabinetry, and a designer kitchen featuring a paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, large island, and sunny eating area with fireplace that opens seamlessly to the inviting family room. A large, sunny mudroom with built-ins and separate entrance from the yard adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a beamed vaulted ceiling, custom closets, and a timeless marble bath with dual vanities, tub, and separate shower. Three additional bedrooms complete the second level, including one with an ensuite bath, while two of the three offer walk-in closets, and second-floor laundry adds further convenience. Skylights and striking wood beams turn the staircase into a true architectural focal point. The finished lower level offers tall ceilings and exceptional flexibility, with a rec room with fireplace, a beautifully equipped wet bar with 3 beverage refrigerators, Bosch dishwasher, microwave, and built-in cabinetry, plus an additional office, exercise room, full bath, generous storage, pantry with extra refrigerator, and a fifth bedroom. Outside, the fully fenced backyard feels like a private retreat, with a large deck, slate patio, pergola-covered fire pit area, outdoor speakers, landscape lighting, and thoughtful path and overhead string lighting. Hydrangeas and boxwood add softness and charm, creating a wonderful setting for entertaining and everyday living. Two-car garage plus parking pad.
