Property Description
Nestled on one of the most private and quiet streets in the prestigious gated community of Country Ridge, this custom estate sits on 1.23 heavily treed acres and offers the perfect blend of luxury and privacy. Surrounded by mature trees, the property provides a rare level of seclusion while remaining conveniently located near the heart of Melissa. A stunning drive up and the curb appeal welcome you inside to soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors, extensive custom millwork, and a dramatic staircase entry.Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the home features formal living and dining rooms, a spacious family room with an updated fireplace, and a private study with wood-beamed ceiling, built-ins, and a fireplace shared with the family room. The study can easily function as a fifth bedroom if desired. The updated kitchen is equipped with a built-in refrigerator, gas cooktop, double ovens, warming drawer, microwave, butler’s pantry, and abundant storage. The expansive primary suite offers a private sitting area, luxurious bath with leathered granite countertops, and a large walk-in closet. Upstairs you’ll find generously sized secondary bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bath, built-in desk area, game room, and dedicated media room. Step outside to your own backyard retreat featuring a sparkling pool, spa, covered patio, updated pavers, redesigned stone coping, and beautiful mature landscaping that creates exceptional privacy. With towering shade trees, extensive hardscaping, and no immediate rear neighbors, the backyard feels more like a private resort than a suburban homesite. The property has also been thoughtfully enhanced with French drains and erosion-control improvements, allowing you to enjoy the park-like setting with peace of mind. Additional features include an updated pool bath, reverse osmosis system, gas cooking, built-in refrigerator, and a 3-car garage.
