About This Home

Welcome to classic estate living at its absolute finest on sought-after Founders Drive. Spanning over 6,500 square feet on a pristine 1.25-acre lot, this custom-built legacy home skips the short-lived trends in favor of true, timeless luxury designed to be enjoyed for generations.

From casual weekend gatherings to grand-scale entertaining, every corner of this property is built for living well. Unwind in the massive primary sanctuary featuring a cozy sitting area with its own fireplace, wet bar, and wine fridge. The 5-star spa bath boasts imported Italian marble, classic brass fixtures, dual vanities, a double shower, and a authentic tiled hammam steam room.

Enjoy indoor-outdoor resort living year-round with a luxury gunite indoor spa framed by a wall of windows that look out to an expansive flagstone patio, complete with a stone outdoor fireplace and full outdoor kitchen. At the heart of the home, an oversized chef's kitchen comes equipped with a JennAir gas range, dual sinks, and imported granite, seamlessly flowing into a formal dining area complete with a dedicated bar and ice maker. Retreat to quiet spaces like the main-floor mahogany library with its warm fireplace, or the upper-level reading room that opens directly to a private stone deck.

Accommodating guests is effortless with an entire self-contained apartment offering a private entrance, full kitchen, bedroom, and laundry. Featuring 6 spacious bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and meticulous restorations throughout, this legacy property is a rare opportunity to own a true architectural statement piece.
