Beautifully Designed. Thoughtfully Built. Ready for Its Next Chapter. There are homes that are beautiful, and then there are homes that were thoughtfully designed around the way people actually live. This custom-built 2019 estate in gated Grand Oaks is the latter. Set on 2.97 wooded acres at the end of a cul-de-sac, this 4,488-square-foot home offers the space, privacy, and flexibility that are increasingly difficult to find. The current owner is a professional home stager and designer, and her eye for detail is evident throughout the home. The finishes are sophisticated without feeling overly formal, creating a home that is polished, comfortable, and genuinely inviting. The floor plan is one of the home's greatest strengths. The main-level primary suite provides privacy from the rest of the home, while upstairs you'll find an additional suite, two more bedrooms, a shared bath, a large loft, private theater, and multiple spaces to gather or retreat. There are also two dedicated offices, including a beautifully appointed space currently used for podcasting. The heart of the home is the open great room, where cathedral ceilings, wood beams, a stone-clad gas fireplace, and abundant natural light create an impressive but comfortable gathering space. The custom kitchen features quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, premium stainless appliances, a large island, and generous room for dining. A thoughtful detail you won't appreciate until you experience it: the staircase can be accessed from both the foyer and the kitchen, making it surprisingly easy to move through this large home without having to travel through the formal entry every time. Outside, the covered back porch overlooks the peaceful wooded acreage and provides a quiet place to enjoy the natural setting. The property offers nearly three acres of privacy while remaining just minutes from I-75 and the amenities of High Springs and Gainesville. The oversized 2-car garage, hardwood floors, surround sound, custom finishes, and abundant storage round out a home designed with both beauty and everyday function in mind. If you've been searching for a home that gives you room for family, work, entertaining, hobbies, and quiet moments—all while feeling intentionally designed rather than simply large—this is one you need to experience in person. Some homes are built to impress. This one was designed to live beautifully.
