Description

Welcome to this exceptional single-story home, creatively transformed by noted architect Doug Ewing and nestled in the serene Busch Garden neighborhood. The Craftsman exterior has a timeless elegance, while the interior showcases a blend of sophisticated and contemporary design elements. Step inside through the warm and inviting entry, and you'll be greeted by a stunning living space with vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and an abundance of natural light cascading through the dramatic windows. The dining room, enhanced by tasteful built-in cabinetry, sets the stage for memorable gatherings. The chef's kitchen, complete with skylights that bathe the space in natural light, flows into the spacious family room, creating an appealing and functional layout for everyday living. The thoughtful design of the home incorporates numerous French doors, connecting indoor and outdoor spaces and granting easy access to the Golden Arrow Award-winning landscaped grounds. The home offers three bedrooms, each boasting an ensuite bathroom. The primary bedroom is a genuine sanctuary, featuring a cathedral ceiling, a built-in desk, a large walk-in closet, and a light-filled bath. French doors lead to a spacious and private rear courtyard, providing a peaceful retreat. One of the additional bedrooms has been designed to serve as a versatile home office, with built-in desk and bookshelves. The attached two-car garage is equipped with built-in cabinets for ample storage. Situated on a peninsula-style lot with frontage on all three sides, this is a truly special property.
