The Apex (Georgian elevation) at Fish Hawk Ranch pairs classic architectural style with a layout built for how you actually live day to day. Step into this spacious home with over 3,000 sq. ft. where morning coffee on the covered patio, quiet work in a private office, and evenings that spill from the kitchen into the family room all have their own space to happen. The main level opens around a vaulted cafe with three oversized windows pulling in natural light, and a side fireplace with built-ins anchoring the family room. The gourmet kitchen brings premium finishes and gas cooking front and center, while a messy kitchen behind its own pocket door keeps the real work out of view. A double drop zone mean two people can work from home or manage the household's daily chaos without tripping over each other. A flexible first floor room with a full bath and walk in shower sits ready for guests or however you need it day to day, and outside a covered patio plus an extended uncovered patio and deck give you more than one way to enjoy the outdoors. Upstairs, the extended game room opens onto a front facing balcony that spans the full width of the room, the Georgian elevations signature feature, perfect for stepping outside during movie nights or just catching some fresh air. The owner's suite sits over the covered patio below for a quiet, private feel, with a super shower bath for a spa-like touch, and additional bedrooms round out the floor.
