Property Description

This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Step through custom iron doors into a space where thoughtful upgrades bring style and comfort together. Hardwood floors, quartz countertops, marble bathrooms, red oak stairs, recessed lighting, and a chef’s kitchen with butler’s pantry set the tone for modern living. The primary suite is a spa-like retreat with a soaking tub and six-jet rain shower. Inside, a masonry gas fireplace warms one of several living areas. Outdoors, gas lanterns, full exterior lighting, and a handcrafted privacy wall frame the professionally landscaped yard and striking ivory-toned brick and plaster exterior that offers lasting durability with low maintenance. The crown jewel is a 45x32 workshop valued at approximately $100K, equipped with electricity and concrete floors—ideal for buyers who want more than just a home. Whether used for hobbies, projects, additional storage, or potential guest space, this workshop provides unmatched versatility. With AC units only 2 years old and custom upgrades throughout, this Legacy Lea home offers flexibility for today’s buyers—whether you enjoy entertaining, need extra space, or want a property with long-term potential. A rare find that combines immediate comfort with endless possibilities. Come see for yourself why this home isn’t just move-in ready—it’s move-in inspiring.
