Built into the hillside in the Audubon neighborhood of Big Canoe, this home pairs a Craftsman-inspired exterior with main-level living and a terrace level that opens to the fenced yard. Gabled rooflines, horizontal siding, timber accents, and stacked covered outdoor spaces define the architecture. A three-car tandem garage with an EV charger connects to a broad paved drive. Completed in 2021 by Serenity Homes, the construction details focus on comfort, connectivity, and room to adapt. Foam insulation, a whole-house dehumidifier, a tankless water heater, and surge protection at both breaker boxes support the home's everyday operation. Network wiring, wireless access points, and security cameras are already in place. Solid-core interior doors and additional wall and ceiling sound insulation on the terrace level help separate living spaces. Clad low-E windows include mostly double-hung units, with casement windows in the kitchen and primary bedroom and an awning window in the primary bath. On the main floor, the kitchen centers on an eight-foot island, quartz countertops, and a Wolf induction cooktop. Custom cabinetry includes soft-close doors and drawers, extended-height uppers, vertical tray storage, spice racks, a knife block, pullouts, and deep drawers for cookware. Additional cabinetry at the front of the island and refrigerator adds storage, with a custom pantry nearby. The fireplace is currently gas and can be converted to wood-burning. In the primary bedroom, a cantilevered window seat creates a dedicated spot to sit and admire the view. The primary bath includes quartz countertops, a zero-entry shower with accessibility handrails, and an oversized soaking tub. A custom dual-entry laundry with drying racks, a dog shower, and a half bath with leathered granite complete the main-floor features. The terrace level provides additional living and entertaining space, with theater TV and sound wiring routed to an A/V closet. The wet bar has leathered granite countertops and a refrigerator equipped with a water line for an ice maker. The guest bath also features leathered granite and a zero-entry shower with accessibility handrails; the terrace half bath has granite countertops. An office includes a gas-line connection for a future fireplace, and a large unfinished area provides storage. Outside, the fenced yard is accessible from both levels. The spa/therapy pool includes continuous-current swim jets, back jets, and ankle jets, with Wi-Fi control of the pumps, heater, and lights. The main-level outdoor living area has a gas-line connection ready for an outdoor kitchen. Concrete footers are already poured for a future terrace-level deck extension, and vista pruning has been completed. Future changes were considered during construction. Both half baths are pre-plumbed for a tub or shower, select wall areas have headers in place for additional doors or windows, and the floor trusses were arranged to allow for a future elevator. Three-foot doorways and hallways support accessibility, while conduit runs from the roof to the terrace equipment room for a future solar installation.
