A craftsman custom-built “gem” in College Heights! This LEED-certified home has high ceilings, open floor plan, tons of natural light, and exquisite design details. The first floor includes a generous living room with a two-sided gas fireplace that connects to the chic dining room. The chef's kitchen includes granite countertops, center island, high-end appliances, and an open layout. The family/sun room is a big highlight with cathedral ceilings, skylights, and slate floors. Lastly, there is a light filled office with custom cabinets. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with architectural ceilings and the spacious master suite with a walk-in closet and bathroom/sauna. Built in 2008, this home feels like new and incorporates eco-friendly features; bamboo floors, a solar heating system, and radiant heat.
