$5k INCENTIVE: Seller Credit for offers by Aug 31! HIGHGATE'S PREMIER OPPORTUNITY! Rarely does a home come to market with this level of curated detail. Backing to a protected, tree-filled greenspace, this 5-bedroom retreat offers a sophisticated, move-in-ready alternative to standard neighborhood builds. Every inch has been polished for a lifestyle of ease, elegance, and connection. GRAND ENTRANCE: Make an immediate impression with a statement mahogany door, soaring light-filled foyer, warm engineered hardwoods, and a striking open staircase. HOME OFFICE: Featuring custom sliding doors, handcrafted built-in desk, and elegant ceiling molding. A pocket door connects directly to the kitchen for quiet work-from-home days or focused study sessions. CHEF'S KITCHEN: This heart of the home features quartz counters, soft-close cabinetry, farmhouse sink, and spacious walk-in pantry. Outfitted with a full suite of matte black GE Café appliances, including a 6-burner gas range and integrated Keurig refrigerator, making it ideal for both morning school rushes and lively dinners. SUNLIT FAMILY LIVING: Designed for family memories, this open-concept space is filled with natural light and a cozy gas log fireplace that anchors the space. It flows into the kitchen, keeping everyone connected whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a quiet night in. GUEST SUITE: A main-floor bedroom with an adjacent full bath is the perfect setup for guests or multi-generational living. Off the garage, a custom-designed mudroom neatly catches daily clutter before it reaches your living area. OWNER'S SANCTUARY: A serene escape featuring tray ceilings and a luxurious bath. Unwind in the soaking tub or the custom-tiled, frameless shower with dual heads. A heated bidet adds a touch of pampering, while a spacious walk-in with hardwood shelves rounds out this refined suite. UPPER-LEVEL LAUNDRY: Forget hauling baskets up and down stairs. A perfectly positioned laundry hub right next to the upstairs bedrooms features a utility sink and generous cabinetry, giving you enough organized storage to keep clutter out of sight. FLEX ROOM: Unlike standard lofts, this fully enclosed bonus room offers true versatility. Pre-wired with ceiling speakers and a control hub, it is perfect for an immersive home cinema, a dedicated playroom, or a 5th bedroom. With a full closet, it adapts to your family's changing needs while providing valuable extra storage. SURROUNDED BY NATURE: This fully fenced lot backs to protected greenspace, offering privacy and a natural backdrop of mature trees. It features a covered porch, grilling patio, storage shed, plus cherry and peach trees and blackberry vines that will grow with your family. It is a secure, secluded environment for kids and pets to play and explore. EXPANSIVE GARAGE: More than just a place to park, this is a workspace and gear hub. The epoxy floors stay clean and durable, the tankless gas water heater ensures you never run out of hot water, and a bump-out gives you ample space for your workbench, bikes, and bulky gear without sacrificing room for two cars. SMART HOME INTEGRATION: Professional-grade networking ensures flawless connectivity for everything from remote work to family gaming. Create the perfect ambiance for any occasion with Philips Hue smart lighting, letting you set the mood for movie nights or dinner parties with a simple command. HIGHGATE: Not just a neighborhood; it is an instant social circle.
