Property Description

Behind the guard gates of **The Groves at Orchard Hills—one of the most sought-after enclaves in the community—**this exceptional residence delivers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and high-end functionality. Positioned on a premium lot with no homes directly in front or behind, the home offers an elevated sense of openness and exclusivity. A key differentiator is the fully paid-off solar system, providing long-term efficiency and meaningful cost savings. Inside, the open-concept floor plan is amplified by soaring ceilings and expansive sightlines, creating a bright, airy living environment designed for both daily living and large-scale entertaining. Wide-plank hardwood flooring and oversized accordion doors seamlessly extend the interior into the California Room for true indoor-outdoor flow. The chef’s kitchen is anchored by full-height European cabinetry, quartz surfaces, and a statement Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator, complemented by professional-grade appliances, three ovens, and an oversized island that integrates directly with the main living and dining areas. A fully equipped prep kitchen—with its own range, refrigerator, and dishwasher—adds a layer of functionality rarely found at this level. The main floor includes a private guest suite with full bath and an additional powder room. Upstairs, a generous loft anchors three secondary bedrooms, while the primary suite offers a spa-caliber experience with a soaking tub, dual vanities, and two walk-in closets. Additional features include EV pre-wire, tankless water heater, epoxy-finished garage floors, and custom built-in storage.
