About this property

This remarkable residence stands apart among Forest Hill's most architecturally sophisticated homes. Designed & lived in by the current owners for their young family, its adaptable 8,345' layout easily accommodates executive lifestyles-from entertaining with ease to family-focused living where the stunning Kit can seamlessly open to the adjoining DR & Fam areas, & the lower media room/play room may be a children's play room or creative studio. Balancing warmth with precision, the interiors evoke serene modernism through tactile finishes & finely measured detail. Pale oak, bronze fixtures, honed limestone, & softly textured surfaces create a natural palette that diffuses light with quiet luxury.
