01 — The Residence

Not a cosmetic update. A complete reimagining.

Extensively renovated and expanded 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offering approximately 2,979 sq. ft. of above-grade finished living space on approximately 0.46 acres. Major renovations and improvements were completed through 2025, creating a modern, highly customized home with oversized rooms, abundant natural light and high-end finishes throughout.

Highlights include a large contemporary kitchen with an oversized island and extensive cabinetry; a custom primary suite with architectural wood detailing, dressing/walk-in space and a spa-inspired bath; renovated additional bathrooms; and multiple expansive rooms added as part of the renovation. In addition to the five bedrooms, an approximately 25′ × 12′ office/classroom/flex room with large windows offers potential for future sixth-bedroom use, subject to applicable approvals.

From the Owners

Renovated for our family, not for resale.

Living room

“What we love most about this home is that it was renovated and expanded for our family, not simply updated for resale. The nearly 3,000 sq. ft. layout gives everyone room to spread out while still feeling connected.”

The oversized primary suite and spa-inspired bath feel like a private retreat, while the large kitchen and entertaining areas have become the center of the home. The additional 25′ × 12′ rooms give us incredible flexibility for bedrooms, working from home, homeschooling, guests and family space.

We especially love the amount of natural light from the oversized windows and sliding glass doors, and how easily the home connects to the backyard. In warmer months, the large deck, pool, spa and gardens become an extension of the living space.

It's a home that has worked equally well for family life, working from home, entertaining and having private spaces when needed — and that flexibility is probably what we'll miss most.
