About this home

Secluded on a quiet cul-de-sac in the prestigious Thorngate subdivision, this French Provincial residence was custom built by the renowned Orren Pickell Building Group. Combining timeless architecture, refined finishes, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living, it offers a truly elevated lifestyle in one of the area's most sought-after neighborhoods. The grand two-story foyer, highlighted by a sweeping curved staircase, sets an elegant tone upon entry. A sunlit living room features soaring vaulted ceilings and a limestone fireplace, while the formal dining room opens through French doors to a spacious stone patio overlooking a tranquil pond. Perfect for entertaining, the patio is equipped with gas and charcoal grills, a fire pit, refrigerator, and ample space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The chef's kitchen was tastefully updated in 2021 and flows seamlessly into the family room, which is filled with natural light from its east, south, and west exposures. A private library, complete with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and a fireplace, offers an ideal work-from-home retreat. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene escape, featuring a spa-inspired bath with jacuzzi, walk-in shower, built-in vanity, and a newly renovated dressing room. Three additional bedrooms complete the second floor. The fully finished lower level is designed for entertaining and wellness, with an indoor swimming pool, home theater with surround sound, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a custom-built eight-person sauna. The walkout basement opens to a second patio, extending the home's seamless indoor-outdoor living. Beautifully refreshed front exterior is newly replaced EIFS.
