958 North Lionbridge Place

Some houses just make you want to stay outside. On nearly an acre in Lions Gate, a heated saltwater pool with a rock waterfall and slide sets the tone, with a covered patio, gas fireplace, and built-in grill made for long summer evenings. A sport court and in-ground trampoline take the afternoon, and mature landscaping keeps it private. Inside, a coffered ceiling runs the length of the great room, which opens through a wall of windows to the water, plantation shutters throughout. Four bedrooms are on the main level, including a guest en suite and a primary that opens to the pool deck, with a soaking tub and a closet the size of a bedroom. Upstairs, two more bedrooms and a bonus room behind a herringbone wood wall. The Thermador kitchen was built for a crowd: two dishwashers, an apron-front sink, and a walk-in pantry with a second oven and beverage refrigerator. A wine wall holds roughly five hundred bottles. At the back of the 4-car garage, a pull-through door opens straight to the yard. Behind the scenes, the systems match the scale; dual furnaces, dual AC, two water heaters, central vac, and speakers wired throughout. Minutes from downtown Eagle, and most weekends you won't bother leaving.
