Close to the North Shore's restaurants, the Walnut Street Bridge, and the Riverwalk, this 2023 build saves its best surprise for the backyard: an in-ground pool, outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill, fire pit, and a bathhouse with a half bath and outdoor shower, all wrapped in a full privacy fence. Out front, a deep covered porch with a wood-planked ceiling and black cable railings sets a bright, welcoming tone. The quality starts in the shell. James Hardie board-and-batten siding over Huber ZIP System sheathing, with closed-cell spray foam insulating the entire envelope for a tight, efficient home. Inside, hardwood floors run through an open main level filled with light from tall windows and recessed lighting. The kitchen anchors it all with a large island with seating, dark granite counters, a gas range under a stainless chimney hood, subway tile, and a full wall of tall white cabinetry. French doors open straight to the patio, so summer evenings move easily between the stove and the grill. The primary suite sits on the main level behind sliding barn doors, with a custom-shelved walk-in closet and a bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and double vanity. Upstairs, two bedrooms each catch the light through a trio of windows, and a loft beneath a skylight adds built-in bookcases and a cable-rail overlook, with room for an office, reading corner, or media space. Down on the lower level, a huge garage is joined by a workshop and a safe room! Smart lighting, a smart thermostat, security cameras, and a tankless gas water heater are all part of the package. Come see the backyard for yourself; private tours are available by appointment.
