THE ULTIMATE DEVELOPER'S LEGACY ESTATE: BUILT LIKE NO OTHER. ENGINEERED TO PERFECTION. PRICED TO INSPIRE... Commissioned originally as a custom builder's personal residence, this home is a masterclass in structural integrity and architectural vision. Offering roughly 7,800 square feet of finished living space across three levels, this estate seamlessly merges commercial-grade fortitude with resort-style luxury. Unlike other custom residential builds, this home took nearly 2 years to construct, utilizing a level of craftsmanship and foundational strength rarely seen today. Construction required commercial-grade cranes to erect massive iron girders meticulously placed onto deep concrete foundations, allowing for sweeping, wide-open floor plans and incredibly long spans without the need for o btrusive supports. While modern luxury builds often suffer from immediate settling issues, hollow walls, and mechanical failures, this home remains structurally flawless. At under $257 per square foot, this estate presents an enticing and un-compromised trifecta of value, scale, and premier location. When compared to the newer builds and new construction homes scattered throughout Gregg's Landing-this residence provides immediate value, established privacy, and a level of foundational craftsmanship that today's volatile, multi-year construction market simply cannot replicate. The current owners have completed the "heavy lifting" to elevate this property into a modern oasis. Recent capital improvements include: (1) A Premium Brava Composite Shake Roof (lifetime durability), (2) A spectacular 40-foot heated salt water pool featuring a shallow tanning ledge and an automated hard safety cover, (3) The sweeping concrete terrace is completely enveloped by 112 professionally planted arborvitae trees soaring up to 18 feet-providing a secluded sanctuary that raw dirt lots take decades to achieve and (4) Expanded concrete circular drive anchored by a newly installed Tuscan fountain. When entering the grand foyer, you'll be greeted by a magnificent, hand-crafted "dove's wing" split staircase. Newly refinished hardwood floors and 9-foot solid wooden-core doors flow into a sun-drenched, two-story family room and the home's culinary epicenter. Designed for high-end entertaining, the chef's kitchen features seamlessly refinished custom cabinetry, dual prep and serving islands, and a newly integrated, commercial-grade Bosch gas appliance suite. A major differentiator is the oversized main-floor executive wing. Paired with an adjacent full bathroom, this flexible space serves as a step-free suite perfectly tailored for extended guests or multi-generational living. A gorgeous circular hallway gallery connects the upper level. The primary retreat is a lavish escape with a private balcony and a spa-inspired luxury bath. Each secondary bedroom showcases unique architectural character with custom turreted and barreled ceilings. Adding immense structural value is a newly finished, 2nd laundry enclosure and a 768-square-foot versatile room which is highlighted by soundproofed and weatherproofed flooring. Currently used as an additional second-level bedroom, this massive space easily transforms into a game room or private fitness center. The seamless walkout lower level opens directly to the expansive, private lot. Grounded by imported Italian tile, this entertainment paradise features a marble-surround fireplace and a custom wraparound wet bar rivaling the ambiance of exclusive private clubs. Crucially, this lower level houses a completely self-contained, independent au pair or multi-generational suite-complete with a private living room, a fully equipped second kitchen, a den, a secluded bedroom, and a full bathroom. Why endure the grueling multi-year timelines, volatile material surcharges, and bare dirt lots of building from scratch? The proof of un-compromised craftsmanship, locked-in value, and architectural heritage is already standing at 151 Palmer Circle.
