Property Description

This beautifully maintained custom-built contemporary sits high on the ridge, proudly owned by its original owner. A striking two-story foyer welcomes you with soaring ceilings and clerestory windows that bathe the space in ambient natural light. The open view to the second-floor loft adds vertical drama, while the loft itself offers a serene nook for reading or reflection, framed by clean architectural lines and soft filtered sunlight. Rich hardwood floors flow through most of the main level, leading to a thoughtfully renovated eat-in kitchen. Centered around a granite-topped island, the layout embraces the coveted “work triangle” for seamless culinary flow, enhanced by under-cabinet lighting and sleek stainless-steel appliances—including a brand-new refrigerator. The breakfast nook overlooks a tranquil wooded backdrop, while the expansive rear deck, stretching nearly the full length of the home, invites effortless indoor-outdoor living. A rare touch: the matching granite wine and cocktail bar, perfect for evening unwinding or hosting with flair. From the kitchen, step into the open family room where a wood-burning fireplace anchors the space with warmth and character. Flanked by custom built-ins, it’s ideal for showcasing books, art, or curated collections. Glass sliders extend the living experience outdoors. The formal dining room, slightly larger than most, features hardwood floors and a charming pocket door for added intimacy. Just a few steps down, the spacious formal living room unfolds—perfect for a grand piano, statement art, or quiet relaxation. Upstairs, the Owner’s suite is privately situated, with vaulted ceilings and skylights that invite daylight and starlit views. The renovated ensuite bath is a sanctuary, featuring a garden tub, glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and a second skylight that transforms morning routines into moments of joy. Dual pocket doors—one to the bath and another to the tub and lavatory area—offer acoustic separation and architectural grace. A comfort-height double vanity and walk-in closet complete the retreat. Step out onto your private deck for sunrise coffee or a glass of wine—an increasingly rare luxury that connects daily life to nature’s rhythm. Down the hall, three additional bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility. A full bath with a double vanity ensures ease for shared routines. The loft reading area, bathed in natural light, invites quiet moments, while the upstairs laundry adds everyday convenience. A versatile flex room completes the second floor—perfect for a home office, studio, or retreat. The finished basement expands the home’s versatility—ideal for a media lounge, fitness studio, or creative workspace. A utility room and under-stair closet provide smart, accessible storage. A built-in central vacuum system adds everyday ease. Located in Pike Creek, known for its suburban charm and proximity to major cities, this wooded lot offers a rare blend of privacy and convenience.
