Listing broker remarks

Some homes quietly reset expectations. This is one of them. Long admired within the community and now offered for the first time, this custom residence reflects a rare balance of architectural beauty, livable design, and enduring craftsmanship. Rooted in the character of the Pacific Northwest and refined with an industrial-chic edge, the home was shaped around how life actually unfolds. At its center, a chef’s kitchen connects seamlessly to the dining and living spaces, creating a natural rhythm for daily living and effortless entertaining. Dramatic foyer, beautiful millwork, stone detailing, and expansive windows frame Mount Tom in a way that feels both present and ever-changing, filling the home with light throughout the day. Designed with the ease of an executive ranch, the main level offers a primary suite, first-floor laundry, and well-composed living spaces that allow for true one-level living without compromise. The upper level expands the experience rather than simply adding space. An open loft offers a billiards lounge, bar, theater, fitness area. and a second back staircase that enhances flow. The 2nd staircase also leads to a dedicated office wing that provides quiet separation for work, while a private guest suite with full bath and second laundry adds flexibility for extended stays or multi-generational living. The layout was conceived to evolve naturally with time and changing needs. Outdoors, the property shifts into a private resort setting inspired by years of California living. A heated pool, outdoor kitchen, pergola, screened patio, full heated outdoor bath, and fire pit are all oriented toward long views of Mount Tom, creating a setting equally suited for quiet mornings or large gatherings. Designed by a respected architectural firm and built by one of New England’s premier builders, the home reflects a commitment to quality, and longevity. Long recognized from afar, it now offers its first opportunity to be experienced from within and to be carried forward by its next owner.— eXp Realty
