Only the second home to hit the market in Explorer Ridge Estates in the past 12 months - and the only property for sale situated on a ½-acre corner lot. Custom built from the ground up in 2004 with modern engineering standards, this 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom residence showcases true pride of ownership throughout. Thoughtfully designed with long-term functionality in mind, the home includes whole-house vacuum, a dedicated EV circuit in the garage, and a separate lower-level dedicated circuit already in place for the future addition of a kitchen/bathroom - offering flexibility for expansion or multigenerational living. Additional features include a private wine cellar and generous living spaces designed for comfort and entertaining. Notably, homes in the area have recently sold between $450–$500 per square foot. This home is offered at approximately $400 per square foot representing exceptional value in Explorer Ridge. A rare combination of lot size, quality construction, and pricing - opportunities like this do not come around often. Please look at supporting documents (Home Inspection and ADU renderings) for reference. This home is being sold as is. More pictures will be added.
