Property Description

Exquisitely maintained and thoughtfully updated, this distinctive French Normandy residence sits gracefully on 1.6 acres of professionally landscaped grounds. Built by the renowned Orren Pickell, the home offers 6 bedrooms, 6.1 bathrooms, a 4-car attached garage, and an unmatched blend of craftsmanship and modern luxury. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you into this sensational property. At its heart is the fully remodeled kitchen (August 2025)-a true showpiece. Designed for both beauty and function, it boasts a striking double island with quartz waterfall countertops, matching quartz backsplash, and custom cabinetry reimagined to complement the built-in hutch with a more refined aesthetic. Outfitted with top-of-the-line 2025 Subzero and Wolf appliances, the kitchen includes a 48 French door Subzero refrigerator, 30 double Wolf ovens, 48 Wolf 6-burner cooktop with infrared grill, Subzero beverage refrigerator, and dual Subzero undercounter refrigerator drawers-an entertainer's dream. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the inviting family room with vaulted ceiling, built-in cabinetry, and a see-through fireplace, as well as the fabulous, screened porch and deck overlooking the lush property. The expansive deck, finished in Brazilian hardwood and equipped with an outdoor TV, speakers and gas line for grill provides the perfect vantage point for enjoying the serene surroundings. Additional first-floor spaces include a gracious living room with fireplace, elegant dining room with wainscoting, updated formal powder room, and a richly paneled library with fireplace.
