The sound of cascading water, mature trees, and a garden that invites you to linger. With no rear neighbors and private, tree-filled views, this single-story Sitterle home in guard-gated Emerald Forest brings together generous living spaces and a distinctive outdoor retreat. Expansive windows frame the backyard, while a screened porch and pergola-covered deck offer places for morning coffee, dinner outdoors, and quiet evenings beside the koi ponds.
Inside, the kitchen opens to the living and breakfast areas, keeping everyday life and entertaining connected. Wolf double ovens, a gas cooktop, stone countertops, and a brick-framed cooking alcove lend substance and character. A butler’s pantry with wine storage connects the kitchen to formal dining, while a spacious walk-in pantry with a warming drawer provides additional preparation and storage space.
The primary suite offers its own fireplace, wood flooring, and an updated bath. A separate study, guest bedroom with an en suite bath, and two bedrooms sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath give the home flexibility for work and visitors. One secondary bedroom opens to a private deck—another way to enjoy the leafy setting and the ease of life on one level.
