A substantial custom home. Resort-like outdoor living. A serious workshop. And 2.5 acres that make coming home the best part of the day. Thoughtfully custom-built one and a half story brick home with a floor plan that strikes a perfect balance between connection and privacy. The owner's retreat occupies its own private wing, two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath and separate ensuite offers ideal accommodations for guests, older children or multigenerational living. At the heart of the home, a cheerful and spacious kitchen brings everyone together with generous prep space, abundant cabinetry, a large island, breakfast seating and gas cook top. An easy flow into the living and breakfast areas keeps visual connection, while abundant windows draw your eye out toward the pool. Custom details and architectural character weave throughout, from the stone fireplace and detailed ceiling to a handsome wood-trimmed study with a full wall of built-ins. A lengthy built-in homework and organization station creates a dedicated landing place for schoolwork and busy schedules, a useful feature you'll appreciate daily. Outside is where 2.5 acres become a lifestyle. Picture afternoons in the pool and evenings beneath the impressive cabana, where shade, fireplace, grill and seating encourage lingering. Beyond it, open acreage provides breathing room, privacy and possibilities. Then there's the 30x40 detached workshop. With a 10x20 office space and two-post 9,000-lb vehicle lift, it offers serious space for automotive enthusiasts, hobbyists, entrepreneurs or anyone whose interests require more than a traditional garage. Northwest ISD schools are all within five miles, with shopping, dining and daily conveniences nearby. A private water well eliminates a monthly water bill, while the county location helps keep property taxes low. Individually, each feature is impressive. Together, they create the kind of property that's difficult to replicate and even harder to leave.
