Description

Experience unparalleled craftsmanship and gorgeous finishes in this remarkable luxury property. Set among the beauiful trees and lush landscaping on a full acre in Sycamore's premier Merry Oaks community. This French-inspired estate blends Old World charm with modern comforts and endless attention to detail. The exterior showcases stone, stucco, timber accents, iron balconies, and arched double doors with diamond-glass inlays, creating a striking first impression. A circular drive with brick inlay, stone columns, and custom lighting adds to the property's grand presence. Outdoor living takes center stage with multiple bluestone patios, a dramatic wood-burning stone fireplace, and gated entryways that frame panoramic woodland views. Step inside as the natural light pours into the two-story Great Room, highlighted by a stone fireplace, cedar walls, and tall windows with decorative shutters. The living room features French doors and glass transoms, while the formal dining room offers inspiring ambiance. The gourmet kitchen combines elegance and function with custom cabinetry, granite counters, crystal lighting over a generous island, high-end appliances, and a walk-in pantry/wine cellar. Just off the kitchen, the dinette with atrium door opens to the patio, and the sunroom-with reclaimed beams from an 1840s barn, limestone flooring, stone fireplace, and cupola chandelier-offers a memorable retreat.
