This refined modern ranch, set within a low-maintenance, gated enclave, blends timeless elegance with contemporary ease to deliver a beautifully elevated way of living. Inside, 9'+ main-level ceilings and a soaring, window-wrapped great room wash gleaming hardwoods in natural light, while a gas fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling stone surround anchors the space with quiet drama. The chef's kitchen is equal parts form + function--espresso Shaker cabinetry, slab granite, a textured subway-tile backsplash, and a curved 10' island with undermount double sink + bar seating; pendant pre-wire awaits your signature fixtures, and a walk-in pantry keeps the look serene. A sunlit dining nook opens to an extended rear concrete patio and a well-manicured, private, fenced 0.19-acre backyard--an everyday retreat for coffee to cocktails. The primary suite is a calm sanctuary with dual granite-topped vanities, a glass-enclosed mud-set walk-in shower with bench, and a generous walk-in closet; a versatile second bedroom on the main flexes for guests or office. The secondary bath is thoughtfully appointed with tile floors, a granite countertop + a tub/shower surround tiled to the ceiling. The finished lower level continues the story with 9' ceilings, a spacious recreation room pre-plumbed for a future wet bar, two additional bedrooms, excellent storage, and a full bath with tile floors, granite, and tile-to-ceiling surround. Thoughtful upgrades include all-wood closet shelving throughout, stainless appliances with gas range, clerestory windows, HERS 63 energy rating, tankless water heater, oversized finished garage, and central A/C.
