Framed by mature gardens and a gracious front porch, this custom Highlands residence draws on classic Colonial architecture with timeless proportions and thoughtfully executed details. Built in 2012 and set just a few homes from Highlands Park, it offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the scale and ease of newer construction within a neighborhood defined by mature trees, enduring character, and a distinctive identity.

Inside, the home is warm, expansive, and exceptionally well considered. Hardwood floors span the main level, where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow seamlessly together, while large windows draw in views of the surrounding landscape. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, equally suited to mornings around the island and evenings that spill from dinner into the living room beside the fire. A dedicated office with paneled pocket doors, huge walk in closet at the front of the home and a generous mudroom at the back all lend effortless practicality to daily life.

Upstairs, four bedrooms and dedicated laundry keep the rhythm of everyday life together on one floor. The primary suite is generous in scale, with a refined bath and substantial walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms offer space and flexibility, including an oversized bedroom with a walk-in closet which was plumbed at the time of construction for a future ensuite bath--a thoughtful detail that allows the home to evolve over time.

The lower level extends the home's living and entertaining spaces with an oversized family room and integrated kitchenette and bar. The fifth bedroom and additional bath allow privacy for guests, while abundant storage is thoughtfully incorporated throughout the entire home. Adjacent to the bar is a thermal-insulated space, designed with a future wine cellar in mind.

Professionally landscaped grounds unfold into mature gardens and a broad, level lawn, creating a private and established backdrop for outdoor living. At the edge of the property, a wooded pathway leads to the front of Highlands Elementary--an extraordinary connection made even more distinctive by Highlands Park just a few homes away. Together, the gardens, wooded path and nearby park offer a setting that feels both tucked away and wonderfully connected to the neighborhood.
