Property is move-in ready.
This is a high-end, move-in ready estate featuring premium materials such as hardwood floors, vaulted wood-plank ceilings, and granite countertops. The main residence appears well-maintained with modern paint and lighting updates; however, the kitchen cabinetry and overall architectural style suggest the home was built or last majorly renovated approximately 15-20 years ago. The listing also notes that certain secondary structures, specifically the media room and sauna, require TLC and are currently non-operational, which prevents an 'excellent' rating.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 43560, living area = 6024.
Situated on a rare one-acre level lot in the prestigious Country Club area, this property offers a serene, private compound feel with a main residence and multiple detached structures.
The property includes a refurbished guest house, a soundproof studio, and a media room, providing exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living or professional creative work.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 6024, other record living area = 4978.
Certain secondary structures, specifically the media/workout room and sauna, are noted as needing TLC or being non-operational, requiring additional buyer investment.
The conversion of an upstairs bedroom into a dressing area reduces the functional bedroom count on the upper level, which may limit appeal for larger families.
