Description

THE ULTIMATE DEVELOPER'S LEGACY ESTATE: BUILT LIKE NO OTHER. ENGINEERED TO PERFECTION. PRICED TO INSPIRE... Commissioned originally as a custom builder's personal residence, this home is a masterclass in structural integrity and architectural vision. Offering roughly 7,800 square feet of finished living space across three levels, this estate seamlessly merges commercial-grade fortitude with resort-style luxury. Unlike other custom residential builds, this home took nearly 2 years to construct, utilizing a level of craftsmanship and foundational strength rarely seen today. Construction required commercial-grade cranes to erect massive iron girders meticulously placed onto deep concrete foundations, allowing for sweeping, wide-open floor plans and incredibly long spans without the need for obtrusive supports. While modern luxury builds often suffer from immediate settling issues, hollow walls, and mechanical failures, this home remains structurally flawless. At under $257 per square foot, this estate presents an enticing and un-compromised trifecta of value, scale, and premier location. When compared to the newer builds and new construction homes scattered throughout Gregg's Landing-this residence provides immediate value, established privacy, and a level of foundational craftsmanship that today's volatile, multi-year construction market simply cannot replicate. The current owners have completed the heavy lifting to elevate this property into a modern oasis. Recent capital improvements include: (1) A Premium Brava Composite Shake Roof (lifetime durability), (2) A spectacular 40-foot heated salt water pool featuring a shallow tanning ledge and an automated hard safety cover, (3) The sweeping concrete terrace is completely enveloped by 112 professionally planted arborvitae trees soaring up to 18 feet-providing a secluded sanctuary that raw dirt lots take decades to achieve and (4) Expanded concrete circular drive anchored by a newly installed Tuscan fountain. When entering the grand foyer, you'll be greeted by a magnificent, hand-crafted dove's wing split staircase. Newly refinished hardwood floors and 9-foot solid wooden-core doors flow into a sun-drenched, two-story family room and the home's culinary epicenter. Designed for high-end entertaining, the chef's kitchen features seamlessly refinished custom cabinetry, dual prep and serving islands, and a newly integrated, commercial-grade Bosch gas appliance suite. A major differentiator is the oversized main-floor executive wing. Paired with an adjacent full bathroom, this flexible space serves as a step-free suite perfectly tailored for extended guests or multi-generational living. A gorgeous circular hallway gallery connects the upper level. The primary retreat is a lavish escape with a private balcony and a spa-inspired luxury bath. Each secondary bedroom showcases unique architectural character with custom turreted and barreled ceilings. Adding immense structural value is a newly finished, 2nd lau
