Across the hall, the sophisticated formal living room offers a beautiful fireplace and another picturesque bay window, making it an inviting space for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The spectacular family room is nothing short of stunning, showcasing soaring cathedral ceilings accented by dramatic custom arched beams. A magnificent stone fireplace, built-in bar, and doors leading to the expansive terrace seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living while framing unforgettable panoramic views of the savannah. The impressive gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, offering an oversized dining area with outdoor access, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, and a spacious walk-in pantry. A favorite is the bright sunroom with vaulted ceilings and peaceful views of the surrounding landscape-an ideal retreat to relax and unwind. Working from home becomes a pleasure in the luxurious private office featuring a coffered ceiling and custom built-in bookshelves. A desirable first-floor en-suite bedroom provides exceptional flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. The luxurious primary suite is a private sanctuary designed for ultimate comfort. This remarkable retreat includes a cozy sitting room with its own fireplace, soaring vaulted ceilings, a spacious spa-inspired bath, and dual walk-in closets. Each of the additional second-floor bedrooms is generously sized and thoughtfully designed. One bedroom even features its own charming sitting room adorned with beautiful custom millwork, creating a unique and inviting space. The third floor is truly one-of-a-kind, offering endless possibilities. A vaulted room with a skylight captures breathtaking views that stretch across the savannah as far as the eye can see. A charming private “booth” room provides a cozy escape for reading or quiet reflection, while the expansive third-floor room, complete with its own stage, is perfect as a theater, studio, playroom, or creative space. The finished lower level offers something for everyone, including a spacious recreation room, a separate media/TV room, a dedicated workshop, and an enormous storage area. The unfinished portion of the basement, complete with tall ceilings and a fireplace. This presents incredible potential for future living space.
