Designed and developed by Steve and Jodie Warrick Konold of Scout & Co., the 3,850 sf layout offers 4 bedrooms & 5.5 baths, wrapped in the intentional privacy of a luxury retreat. Beyond its terraced walkway and garden courtyard—envisioned in collaboration w/ architect Cynde Norris—French antique gates open to a native-planted entry garden, creating a soft transition to the interior. A glass foyer introduces a tongue-and-groove ceiling & woven rattan chandelier, sourced & designed in London, leading to a sculptural stairwell that anchors the open floor plan. The great room features soaring ceilings, a sleek fireplace & walls of glass windows & doors that blur the boundary between inside & out.

The surrounding cabinetry is crafted from hand-carved V-groove panels w/ soft-close hardware & integrated pullout storage. Caesarstone surfaces run along the perimeter while steel-and-glass open shelving w/ a sculptural black sconce balance the composition. A vintage chandelier from Prize Home & Garden sourced in Round Top completes the room w/ warmth & charm. The primary suite occupies a private wing on the main floor accessed via antique gallery doors that lead to the rear courtyard. Vaulted ceilings, a custom walk-in closet w/ a spa-like bath provide a luxurious retreat.
