Set on a private, acre-plus homesite in the highly sought-after Strafford Woods community, this exceptional custom residence is a masterful blend of timeless architecture, extraordinary craftsmanship, and refined design. Rich millwork, architectural detailing, and premium finishes create an atmosphere of understated elegance, while every space has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Offering the rare advantage of city water and city sewer on an expansive homesite, this property provides the privacy and space of estate living. The heart of the home is a spectacular chef's kitchen featuring custom cabinetry by Geneva Cabinet Gallery, premium appliances, an expansive center island, and a spacious dining area framed by walls of windows that fill the home with natural light and capture picturesque views of the professionally landscaped grounds. The kitchen transitions seamlessly into the impressive two-story family room, where soaring ceilings, extensive trim work, and dramatic windows create a stunning gathering space overlooking the private backyard. A beautiful fireplace anchors the family room, adding warmth and elegance to this inviting space. Designed with flexibility in mind, the home also offers a first-floor bedroom with convenient access to a full bath. A formal dining room with hardwood floors provides an elegant setting for special occasions, while the library/piano room showcases beautiful custom trim work and its own fireplace. The thoughtfully designed laundry and mudroom are equally impressive, featuring custom cabinetry that combines everyday functionality with exceptional craftsmanship. Privately tucked away, the primary suite serves as a luxurious retreat, highlighted by a striking beamed ceiling and a spa-inspired en-suite bath beautifully appointed with custom cabinetry by Geneva Cabinet Gallery. Generously sized secondary bedrooms provide comfort, privacy, and abundant natural light. The finished English lower level expands the home's living and entertaining space with a custom bar, dedicated exercise or office area, a generous recreation room, and ample space for hosting family and friends. Outside, the grounds are nothing short of spectacular. A Trex deck and expansive brick paver patio overlook lush landscaping, mature trees, and meticulously maintained flower gardens, creating a private outdoor setting that feels both peaceful and inviting. A new concrete driveway and side-load garage complete the home's impressive curb appeal. Combining exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and an idyllic setting, this 5-bedroom, 5.1-bath residence is a home where every detail has been carefully considered and every space is designed to be enjoyed.
