HOT? Think pool days. Porch nights. Repeat. This 3,254-square-foot home on .57 acres was built for the way people want to live, with a refreshing backyard pool, a screened porch overlooking mature trees, and dramatic accordion-style glass sliding doors that transform the living room into an extension of the outdoors. Step inside and the 18.5-foot foyer immediately sets the tone. Natural light pours through oversized windows, hardwood floors stretch across the main living areas, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan delivers the space, flexibility, and flow buyers are searching for. At the center of the home, the kitchen anchors the main living spaces with quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, Wolf gas cooktop, Wolf wall oven, Wolf steam/convection oven, Bosch dishwasher, trash compactor, soft-close cabinetry, built-in organizers, and a walk-in pantry that rivals many custom homes. The breakfast area and living room connect directly to the screened porch through a dramatic accordion-style opening, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living and instantly expanding your entertaining space. A gas fireplace adds warmth and character to the main living area. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like its own private retreat with a tray ceiling, oversized walk-in closet complete with built-ins and island storage, and a spacious bath featuring dual vanities, a double-head shower, linen storage, and a private water closet. Secondary bedrooms include walk-in closets and a thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill bath with separate vanity and toilet areas that make busy mornings easier. The walkout lower level adds another layer of versatility with a large recreation room, 2nd fireplace, full bath, built-in cabinetry, private exterior access, and a flexible bonus room that's perfect for overnight guests, hobbies, fitness, or a home office. Outside, the backyard becomes the star of the show. White the screened porch overlooks mature trees, the pool creates a private setting for summer gatherings, weekend cookouts, and lazy afternoons at home. Add in the custom-built 14x12 storage building, and you'll have plenty of room for tools, equipment, and seasonal storage without sacrificing any of the epoxy finished garage space. It feels more like a private retreat than a typical suburban backyard.

The pool. The accordion-style indoor/outdoor living. The walkout lower level. Add in the oversized garage, tankless water heater, custom storage, and wooded setting, and you've got a home that stands apart from the competition.
