Privacy comes first here with a double electric gate motor court and an elevated setting above the street, creating a peaceful, secluded retreat, while keeping you just minutes from the restaurants, shops, parks, and the scenic Morningside Nature Trail that make this neighborhood so beloved.

Arrive at a generous covered front porch, the kind made for morning coffee, afternoon gatherings, and a gently swaying porch swing. Step inside to find soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, detailed moldings, and a bright, open floor plan that invites you to stay awhile.

The formal living room, with its coffered ceiling and fireplace, flows naturally into a banquet-sized dining room through dual French doors, a combination that makes entertaining feel effortless. Through the butler's pantry, the chef's kitchen is everything you'd hope for: white cabinetry, an oversized stone island with seating, a farmhouse sink, a built-in desk, a generous walk-in pantry, and top-of-the-line appliances from Dacor, Sub-Zero, and Viking. It opens warmly into the family room, fireplace, custom built-ins, bookshelves, and French doors to the covered outdoor porch with privacy curtains and to the sunny breakfast room with wall-to-wall backyard views.

The primary suite upstairs is a sanctuary unto itself: a fireplace, sitting room, a morning bar with a beverage fridge, private outdoor living space, and a spa bath with a slipper tub, marble shower, dual vanity, and a custom walk-in closet. Three more bedrooms and two full baths round out the upper level.

Downstairs, the finished terrace level offers a media room, multiple flex living spaces, a kitchenette, a full bath, and a private-entry bedroom, ideal for guests, in-laws, or a live-in nanny.

A level, fenced yard with low-maintenance turf, beautiful accent lighting, and a genuine two-story playhouse with electricity, plus a detached garage topped by a fully outfitted suite with its own kitchen and laundry, perfect for an au pair, in-law, or home office.

This is Morningside living at its finest, zoned for the award-winning Morningside Elementary School and ready to be called home.
