Set in a neighborhood where homes are rarely offered, especially at this price point. With almost two acres near the lake, this custom-built home offers a way of living that feels open, connected, and quietly set apart. At its center, a dramatic atrium great room rises nearly 20 feet with overhead skylights, exposed brick, and warm wood beam ceilings. An interior balcony and upper-level kitchen overlook the space, creating a layout that feels expansive yet connected in a way few homes achieve. Positioned just off the atrium, a private primary wing offers a true sense of retreat. The suite is thoughtfully set apart, and the renovated bathroom is designed for unwinding, featuring a skylit glass shower, soaking tub, and elevated finishes throughout. The kitchen is both expansive and functional, anchored by a massive wraparound island that overlooks the atrium below. Designed for everyday living and entertaining alike, it offers abundant cabinetry, multiple pantry spaces, and an eat-in balcony that brings in natural light. From here, the space flows seamlessly into a dedicated dining area and into a generous living room complete with an automated projector screen... each with its own outdoor balcony, creating multiple places to gather, dine, and connect. Just beyond, a large second bedroom or home office with built-ins, along with a nearby half bath, completes the upper level. The lower level features a den with wet bar that opens directly to the courtyard, along with two bedroom suites, each with their own full baths and private courtyard access and sitting areas... ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a retreat-style setup. Step outside to a resort-style 40x25 pool that highlights the expansive courtyard. Surrounded by multiple gathering areas that wrap around the home, along with a dedicated green space perfect for gardening, play, or pets, all enclosed by a classic wrought iron fencing. The impressive 1000sqft 4-car garage is divided into two separate bays, offering space for vehicles, hobbies, storage, or a workshop. All of this... set among mature trees and park-like grounds just minutes from Lincoln Memorial Garden, local marinas, and within the highly sought-after Chatham School District.
