Timing is everythingespecially when the opportunity arises to own a private estate that feels more like a luxury resort than a home. Tucked away on 3.83 secluded acres, this beautifully updated French Country estate offers an extraordinary blend of timeless elegance, modern sophistication, and peaceful natural surroundings. A crisp white hard-coat stucco exterior paired with dark-framed windows and doors creates striking curb appeal, while wrought iron double entry doors, lantern-style lighting, and graceful arched windows add classic European character. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer with a sweeping curved staircase welcomes you with breathtaking views through the home to the lushly landscaped grounds, where mature trees, extensive gardens, and colorful perennials create a setting of exceptional beauty and tranquility. Designed to embrace indoor-outdoor living, four 9-foot French doors open to an impressive 700-square-foot balustrade terrace finished with newer travertine stone. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, hosting elegant dinner parties, or simply taking in the sounds of nature, every outdoor space has been thoughtfully designed to inspire relaxation. Over the past decade, the home has been extensively renovated with exceptional attention to detail. The stunning chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The owner's suite serves as a true private sanctuary with a gas fireplace, direct access to the backyard retreat, a spa-inspired bath with statement marble tile, dual vanities, and a generous walk-in closet. While the septic permit is for four bedrooms, the home lives comfortably as a five-bedroom residence, with every bedroom enjoying convenient access to a full bath. Step outside and discover your own resort-inspired oasis. The spectacular swimming pool, completed in 2020, is surrounded by serene landscaping, while the expansive covered porch with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen creates the perfect setting for unforgettable gatherings or peaceful evenings overlooking your private estate. For those seeking additional recreation, optional membership opportunities are available at Wakefield Country Club, offering golf, tennis, swimming, dining, and a vibrant social calendar. With countless improvements throughout and an unparalleled setting that offers both privacy and convenience, this is more than a homeit's a destination. Experience the beauty, serenity, and lifestyle this remarkable estate has to offer.
