About this home
CUSTOM BUILT | ORIGINAL OWNER | PRIVATE HALF-ACRE RETREAT | A HOME THAT FEELS LIKE HOME ~ Some homes check boxes, this one creates a feeling. Custom built by John Henderson and lovingly maintained by its original owner, this exceptional residence offers timeless design, quality craftsmanship, and the kind of setting that rarely becomes available. Perfectly positioned on a beautifully manicured half-acre homesite, every arrival feels special. Inside, rich hardwood flooring flows throughout the living spaces, creating warmth and continuity. Freshly painted neutral interior throughout makes everything light, bright and open! Generous room sizes, classic architecture, and exceptional care are evident at every turn. The dream kitchen was designed for gathering and everyday enjoyment—featuring granite countertops, warm wood cabinetry, tumbled stone backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and abundant workspace. Beautiful bay windows fill the breakfast nook with natural light while offering tranquil views of the surrounding landscape. Entertain with ease in the formal dining room, enjoy quiet moments in the formal living room, or retreat to the separate study—perfect for working from home, reading, or creating your own private escape. The owner’s suite is thoughtfully designed with comfort and convenience in mind, featuring a spacious bath with dual granite vanities, soaking tub, separate shower, and a private valet area with built-in cabinetry leading directly into the laundry room. Secondary bedrooms are generously sized, and the secondary bath offers dual sinks to comfortably accommodate family and guests. Step outside and discover the true showpiece of this home…a large screened lanai overlooking your private backyard oasis—an incredible place to enjoy morning coffee, entertain guests, watch the birds, or unwind at sunset surrounded by beautiful landscaping and peaceful fountain views. An added bonus: the original garage has been transformed into an incredible workshop and flex space for hobbies, projects, and an inside study, home office, or additional living area. Buyers desiring traditional garage parking will appreciate the flexibility to potentially convert the space back to a spacious 2-car garage. Homes with this level of care, character, privacy, and flexibility are increasingly difficult to find. This isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to slow down, gather, and enjoy life. Sellers have done all the major improvements ~ A/C 2017, new windows 2020, new roof 2023, trim lights around exterior of home, and completely fenced yard for privacy! Optional HOA, bring your toys - boat, RV, etc!
