The Primary Suite of this luxury model home is crafted as an artisanal retreat, blending rich craftsmanship with a soothing palette of greens, browns, and creams. A custom walnut millwork feature wall creates an immediate focal point, anchoring an upholstered bed, leather bench, and layered textures. The unexpected pop of the jewel-toned rug and a mix of traditional and modern furnishings give the room a collected, elevated feel. The adjoining bath continues the retreat with white marble-look tile, dual vanities with matte black fixtures, warm wood cabinetry, and subtle toe-kick lighting. Sculptural pendants, oversized mirrors, a freestanding tub, and a glass-enclosed shower add both luxury and drama.

A central corridor organizes the layout, with main gathering spaces on one side and a private primary suite and office on the other. Inside, the foyer opens to resort-style patio views, leading to a window-wrapped dining room and a dramatic kitchen with wood and black trusses, veined quartz, and custom cabinetry. The great room features a concrete-look fireplace and sliding doors that connect to outdoor living.
The primary suite mixes white oak trusses, reclaimed wood, and a sleek fireplace, paired with a spa-like bath. Additional highlights include a moody walnut office, a rec room and bar, a glass-enclosed gym, and a backyard with a pool, hot tub, and fire features. Altogether, timeless materials and curated details turn this 10,000+ square-foot home into a personal and elevated retreat.
