Some homes are built.

Some homes are built. This one was carefully composed. An impeccable Michael Shugarman designed original, completed in 2011, where every detail was chosen with intention and impeccably cared for ever since. Site finished rift cut oak flooring runs throughout, warmed by natural light pouring in through walls of windows. The main level unfolds around a sunken living room - elevated ceilings, a linear fireplace set in marble tile, custom oak millwork, a space that is structured yet inviting. A dedicated dining room sits just off the kitchen, ready for both quiet dinners and formal entertaining. The chef's kitchen opens directly to the deck, blurring the line between cooking and gathering, indoors and out. Premium appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, six-burner Wolf gas cooktop and wall oven, complemented by an expansive walk-in pantry and built-in breakfast nook, made for casual conversations to start the day. Behind a solid oak sliding barn door, a generous front office offers a quiet place to work, removed from the rest of the home. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a laundry room are situated under the same flood of natural light. The primary suite is its own retreat with a private south facing balcony, a coffee station for slow mornings, and a spa inspired ensuite finished with a soaker tub, glass shower and water closet. Downstairs offers just as much to enjoy. A family room for evenings in, a fitness room and infrared sauna for the days that call for reset, a guest bedroom, four piece full bath, and a cedar-lined closet that speaks to the same thoughtfulness found throughout the home. A second laundry sits discreetly tucked away in the utility room. Outside, a private, professionally landscaped yard offers its own quiet retreat, complete with a double detached oversized garage. Set on a quiet street in Briar Hill, minutes to Kensington, the river pathways, and walking distance to schools, a home where every detail has been considered.
