Bold in its design, moody in its palette, and unforgettable in its presence — this home isn't just beautifully built, it's a whole vibe. When this custom Loyd Builders home in the exclusive gated community of Southern Hills Estates was thoughtfully designed and built, every detail and upgrade was intentionally selected to create a residence that is as luxurious as it is livable. From the Control4 whole-house smart system, whole-house gas generator, and Aprilaire humidifier to the reverse osmosis and water filtration systems, this home is equipped with top-tier features rarely found together in one property. The interiors showcase wide-plank hardwood flooring, designer lighting, custom cabinetry, exquisite tile selections, and top-of-the-line Wolf/Sub-Zero appliances. Outdoor living is just as refined, with a heated saltwater pool and spa, phantom screened porch with fireplace and built-in heaters, and a separately fenced playground — all on a massive, private lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. The open-concept kitchen and family room serve as the heart of the home, featuring a dramatic linear fireplace, layered accent lighting, and seamless flow into the spacious scullery and walk-in pantry. The formal dining room connects to the kitchen through a butler's pantry, creating an ideal setting for entertaining. A dedicated home office and first-floor guest suite offer flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles.Throughout the main living areas, automated window coverings provide effortless privacy and light control at the touch of a button. The walk-out basement is a true showstopper, designed with entertaining and everyday living in mind. It includes a full theater with twinkle-light ceiling, wet bar, game room, gym, office, living and recreation areas, pool laundry room, and both a full and half bath — all opening to a covered patio with outdoor fireplace. One of the home's more discreet features includes not one, but two hidden safe rooms, offering added peace of mind without compromising design. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true private retreat featuring dual walk-in closets, radiant heated bathroom floors, a soaking tub, makeup vanity, and a massive walk-in shower with multiple shower heads. Three additional ensuite bedrooms, a large bonus room with a life-size dollhouse and loft, and a second laundry room complete the upper level. This is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind home where craftsmanship, comfort, and convenience come together in the most elevated way.
