Custom Estate, thoughtfully situated on 12.41 gently rolling acres in the heart of Forsyth County. A masterpiece of windows and natural light, this high-quality construction offers soaring coffered and tray ceilings, hardwood and slate floors, granite and travertine kitchen and baths, and upgraded trim work throughout. This timeless build design is the aesthetic backdrop for a Nancy Meyers film. The pass-through style layout and 8' doors on the main level create an open flow, yet still avails personal spaces. Three sets of double French doors open to the wrap around front porch creating a wonderful indoor/outdoor entertainment space with serene pastoral views, perfect for those long dreamed about "Father of the Bride" moments. The Chef's kitchen features a dual fuel Viking Professional range/oven, built-in refrigerator, second oven and microwave, custom hickory cabinets, pull out pantry and coffee/wine bar. The formal dining room seats 12+ with 5' farm style wainscotting and "mood lighting" options to highlight your holiday table scapes. The 20' coffered ceiling great room's main attraction is the oversized wood burning stone fireplace with the ease of a gas starter. Another set of French doors lead to the screened porch and large grilling deck. The very private and romantic master suite/wing is a ~1500 sq ft luxury retreat featuring His and Hers enormous closet, separate vanities, plus a make-up vanity and dressing area.

Also, ensuite is an enclosed southern sleeping-porch with floor to ceiling Eze-breeze windows. This enchanting corner of the master suite overlooks the peaceful outdoor flora and fauna. Currently used as the most "relaxing" office space imaginable, it would also suit a private meditation space, reading room or just an intimate area to enjoy the nature that surrounds. There is also an adjoining, quiet, arts & crafts studio/sewing room, which would make a cozy and convenient nursery for new parents or Grandparents.
