Property Description
Absolutely exceptional newer construction, now meticulously re-invented to evoke a refined yet relaxed mountain retreat aesthetic—warm, inviting, and effortlessly sophisticated. Perfectly positioned on an oversized, private lot, this home offers a rare combination of serenity, scale, and walkability in Clayton's most coveted enclave.
A gracious entry unfolds to beautifully curated living spaces, including an elegant formal dining room with gas fireplace—ideal for intimate evenings or elevated entertaining. The designer kitchen is both striking and functional, featuring premium appliances, custom cabinetry and a signature one rough cut slab granite center island, all opening seamlessly to the breakfast and family rooms.
French doors lead to a covered veranda overlooking the resort-style pool and spa, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle reminiscent of a luxury retreat.
A richly appointed library off the entry offers flexibility as a sophisticated home office or formal living room. The main-level primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with dual walk-in closets and a spa-caliber bath with steam shower and refined finishes.
Upstairs, three expansive bedroom suites provide exceptional comfort and versatility, including a private suite with sitting area that easily functions as a second primary. A second-floor laundry adds convenience.
The walk-out lower level lives like a separate custom residence, featuring a spacious gathering room, private bedroom with adjacent bath, wine cellar, and direct access to a split 3-car garage—currently reimagined with one bay as an open-air fitness studio.
Wide-plank wood floors, expansive windows, and curated, top-tier finishes elevate every space. A near full-brick exterior not only enhances architectural integrity but offers long-term value and efficiency.
University Drive is regarded as Clayton Gardens' premier street—offering immediate walkability paired with a quiet, tucked-away setting just beyond the energy of Maryland Avenue.
A rare offering where lifestyle, design, and enduring quality converge—crafted for those who expect nothing less than exceptional.
