Property Description

Set within the gates of Thistle Downs, one of the area's most sought-after luxury communities, this beautifully updated home offers over 3,200 square feet overlooking both the pond and golf course, with a backyard setting that feels remarkably private and still. There's a quiet rhythm to the property that's difficult to capture until you experience it in person. Ducks return each year to nest beneath the hammock, birds move through the trees throughout the day, and the sound of the fountain carries across the backyard with the breeze. Framed by mature landscaping professionally designed by H. Burkert & Company, the outdoor spaces feel established, intentional, and deeply peaceful. Inside, the home balances warmth and refinement with thoughtfully curated updates throughout. The remodeled kitchen features leathered marble countertops and opens naturally into the main living spaces, where custom built-ins and a gas fireplace create an inviting atmosphere without sacrificing elegance. The primary suite was designed with comfort in mind, offering a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and spacious dual closets. An enclosed rear porch with EZ Breeze windows extends the living space year-round and creates the perfect place to enjoy the views in every season. Additional features include a newer water heater, irrigation system, WellSpring whole home water filtration system, epoxy garage flooring with built-in shelving, and a truly move-in ready level of care throughout the home. Rarely does a property combine this level of privacy, natural beauty, and location within Thistle Downs so effortlessly.
