Commanding a rare corner position in Braes Heights, this modern new construction by SCALE Design + Build is flooded with natural light from three exposures. Thoughtful window placement brings in light throughout the day while maintaining privacy, creating an open, gallery-like feel throughout the home. The kitchen features Thermador appliances, custom site-built cabinetry, and wet bar. A study and rare full guest suite downstairs offer flexibility. Upstairs, the primary and three ensuite guest bedrooms provide serene retreats. Don't miss the light-infused gameroom. Outdoor living shines with a spacious covered deck, summer kitchen, and oversized yard with space for a pool. Tiered brick planters and mature trees enhance curb appeal. Just steps from Mark Twain Elementary, Weekley Family YMCA, neighborhood parks, and the library, with quick access to the Medical Center, Downtown, and Galleria—3851 Merrick doesn’t sit on the corner; it commands it.
