The open-concept design flows seamlessly into the enormous family room, highlighted by soaring vaulted ceilings, a gas-start fireplace, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. A beautifully appointed den/home office offers vaulted ceilings and custom cherry cabinetry and built-in desk, creating an ideal work-from-home retreat. The highly desirable MAIN-LEVEL PRIMARY SUITE provides a private and luxurious escape, complete with a tray ceiling, gas fireplace, and French doors leading to the Trex deck and outdoor hot tub. The spa-inspired ensuite bathroom features dual vanities, a walk-in shower, a relaxing soaking tub, and two generously sized closets. A main-level laundry center adds convenience and completes this thoughtfully designed first-floor living space.

The fourth bedroom features a spacious closet, built-in cabinetry, and beautiful views overlooking the pool, along with access to a full bathroom and a second laundry center. The fully finished basement takes entertaining and additional living space to another level! Designed with flexibility in mind, this expansive lower level includes a private theater room, dry bar, home gym, additional office, fifth bedroom, full bathroom, and a third laundry center. Abundant closet and storage space make this level ideal for extended family, guests, or a potential in-law arrangement. Step outside to your own private backyard retreat!

With two dedicated home offices, abundant storage, and an intelligently designed floor plan, this home offers outstanding versatility for today's lifestyle. Please note: While this home offers exceptional space, amenities, and an outstanding opportunity in the desirable Kings Gate neighborhood, it is not in pristine condition and would benefit from some cosmetic updating. The interior would benefit from fresh paint throughout and all flooring could use some attention.
