Hidden among towering trees in historic Palestine, this custom-built Mediterranean-style home is a one-of-a-kind sanctuary blending architectural artistry with the beauty of nature. Located on a 4.7-acre hill beside Davey Dogwood Park, a winding concrete drive leads you through lush foliage to the residence, where a charming fountain patio framed by azaleas and dogwoods sets a tranquil tone. The Saltillo-tiled front porch invites you to linger before stepping onto the elevated wraparound deck, where you’re embraced by the canopy of trees and endless views of the surrounding landscape. Inside, double entry doors open to an impressive hexagonal living room anchored by a wide arched brick fireplace, while a stunning stained & beamed wood ceiling soars above. Expansive picture windows throughout capture the natural beauty outside, bringing light and tranquility into nearly every room. The dining room, featuring a painted wood ceiling, opens to the deck—perfect for alfresco dining or quiet moments overlooking the trees. At the heart of the home, a sunken octagonal kitchen surrounded by a Saltillo tile hall & walls of glass glows with tree shaded light. Three sets of intricately carved double wood doors add architectural distinction, while chefs will appreciate the Jenn-Air appliances and casual breakfast nook overlooking the private backyard. The primary suite offers a retreat with warm wood floors and a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, multi-head shower, dual sinks, and generous closets. A spacious family room showcases whitewashed wood walls, vaulted beamed ceilings, a bar with sink, and to the guest wing with an ensuite bedroom, an additional bedroom/office, and a full guest bath.
