Sometimes a home has that special something. It might be the architectural detail, the picturesque setting, the well-designed floor plan or maybe the exceptional location. And sometimes a home has all of these things. This charming, custom, west-of-trail home could easily be featured in Southern Living. Framed by grand oaks, this beautiful home begins with two generous, stately porches. Indeed, the entire home is surrounded by inviting porches which create a flow for entertaining that is exceptional. As you enter the home, you experience volume ceilings and a home full of light, with grand 8-foot French doors leading to patios and landscaped courtyards. Elegant molding, a working fireplace and the warmth of true hardwood floors create a welcoming ambiance. A large office or den with vaulted ceilings is nestled behind the entry room and is the perfect place for quiet work. As you enter the family room, French doors anchor both sides of the room, with picturesque landscaping framing the view and filling the room with light. A large gourmet kitchen can serve a growing family or satisfy the needs of a gourmet chef. Above the three-car garage is another air-conditioned space that can be a playroom or craft room. The en-suite master bedroom includes an endless custom closet and large elegant bath. Two bedrooms enjoy a Jack-and-Jill bath and the fourth bedroom is en suite. It is so rare to find a home that offers warmth, elegance, uniqueness and ease of living in such an ideal location.
