This custom-built home, just minutes from North Hills, blends thoughtful design with a stylish, modern aesthetic. Step inside this beautifully updated residence, where hardwood floors flow throughout, custom trim moldings and wainscoting add character to every room, and curated designer lighting enhances each space. A striking two-story entryway with detailed millwork sets the tone upon arrival. The kitchen boasts a new backsplash, custom cabinetry with tailored storage and specialty drawers, quartz countertops, Kitchenaid stainless appliances, gold hardware, and a spacious walk-in pantry. The open layout seamlessly connects the dining room, breakfast area, and living spaces, anchored by the warmth of two fireplaces—one in the family room and another in the sunroom—creating inviting focal points. In-ceiling speakers fill the home with sound, while expansive windows bathe the interiors in natural light. A stunning sunroom with skylights extends off the family room and opens to the screened porch, while a main-level laundry room and mudroom add everyday convenience. The screened porch, equipped with an outdoor heater, offers a perfect blend of indoor-outdoor living for year-round enjoyment. The main-level owner's suite features hardwood floors and a custom walk-in closet, leading to a fully renovated, spa-like bathroom with an oversized walk-in shower adorned with marble tile in a herringbone pattern, gold fixtures, and a dual vanity with custom cabinetry. Enjoy direct access to the backyard oasis, complete with a covered pergola patio overlooking the heated saltwater pool. The fenced backyard is a serene urban retreat, featuring a sun-shelf pool, river rock landscaping, and lush, mature greenery for ultimate privacy—and the perfect place to enjoy sunsets. An adorable custom-built shed with a storage loft, electricity, and water offers versatile space for hobbies or extra storage. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered—from the freshly painted walls and ceilings (2023) to the high-end finishes throughout. Perfectly situated just minutes from Cedar Hills Park, the Greenway, and North Hills, this home is designed for effortless enjoyment.
