From the very first glance, the home’s exterior strikes a balance between structure and softness. A light stone façade is punctuated by clean architectural lines and protruding windowpanes, while thoughtfully placed greenery softens the overall look with subtle, organic color.
Inside, the foyer sets the tone with a warm, welcoming palette and artful modernity. A sculptural console with intricate wood carvings offers texture and visual depth, contrasted by the sleek curvature of an arched mirror and double-door entry. The pairing of rustic elements – like the weathered wood and ceramic lamp base – with contemporary lighting and metal accents results in a harmonious blend of natural materials and modern finishes. Every element works together to offer refined, lived-in luxury that feels both curated and approachable.

Venturing forward, the living room evokes a sense of the storybook charm. Expansive picture windows connect the interior to a stunning river view, a reminder of the home’s coveted location. A sleek white marble fireplace with subtle veining stuns as an elegant focal point, while a serene landscape canvas above it introduces a gentle, painterly contrast. Soft greige furniture is brought to life by pops of earthy color and texture – burnt orange and forest-green pillows, a pair of brown leather cognac club chairs, and a glass coffee table atop a live-edge wood base. A statement globe chandelier draws the eye upward to a vaulted ceiling and exposed rafters. Altogether, the thoughtful blend of details brings a balance of comfort and sophistication

At the heart of the home lies an exquisite two-toned kitchen and dining space, where clean white cabinetry meets warm wood tones and brushed brass fixtures. Leather barstools line one countertop while upholstered chairs fit seamlessly into the island beneath crisp pendant lights. A cream quartzite countertop and backsplash envelop the room, elevating the space with polished texture. In the dining area, a rattan drum chandelier hangs over an inclusive dining table, blanketing the gathering space in a glowing embrace.
Innovation meets everyday practicality with an unexpected feature – an extension of the kitchen conspicuously concealed behind a row of cabinets. Tucked away, this hidden pantry offers ample prep space, extra storage, and room for countertop appliances, allowing the main kitchen to remain beautifully streamlined.
Anchored by a glistening in-ground pool, this serene outdoor escape blends the timeless elegance of a European villa with the relaxed warmth of Southern living. The home’s pale stone façade offers a refined contrast to the deep blues of the water, while neutral loungers align along the pool’s edge. Though now a polished outdoor haven, the original space presented a set of obstacles. “The terrain on this property, due to the steep slope, presented our biggest challenge during construction,” Wright shares. “It required ongoing maintenance and meticulous planning, but now is an incredible outdoor oasis.”
Complete with a dock, firepit, and thoughtfully arranged entertainment nooks, the landscape is designed to draw dwellers outside – season after season.
“While this exceptional house is truly one-of-a-kind – making it hard to choose one stand-out feature – the expansive multi-glide doors that seamlessly open the downstairs interior to the resort-style outdoor space create an impressive entertaining area. It is sure to be a favorite spot for gatherings.” –Wade Wright, George Wright Construction, Inc.

Bathed in soft, natural light, the primary bedroom’s symmetrical layout and subdued color palette create a serene canvas that allows the surrounding landscape to take center stage. Expansive windows span the length of the wall, framing vivid glimpses of the river and treetops beyond, while subtly contrasting décor – textural throws, organic woods, and matte ceramics – add dimension without distraction. A seamlessly integrated balcony extends the space outdoors, offering a tranquil perch that blurs the line between the interior’s serenity and nature’s vibrancy.

The custom cabinetry in the en suite bathroom adds cohesiveness and timeless appeal against crisp white walls and large-format tile flooring with a marbling effect. A his-and-her style vanity is brought to life by beige marble counters and brass faucets, mirrors, and fixtures. A soaker alcove tub sits front and center under a spacious window while adjacently, a lush walk-in shower showcases a porcelain square tile floor and is fully wrapped in vertically stacked glazed zellige-style tile in variegated brown tones. Rainfall and handheld showerheads combine with body jets to create a true spa-like experience.
“This room holds deep meaning to both the homeowner and our team. For the homeowner, the reclaimed materials and personal elements that are in every detail reflect their story. For us as the builders, it showcases the handcrafted skills of our team.” –Wade Wright, George Wright Construction, Inc.
Rather than competing with the surrounding innate beauty, the home’s cohesive neutral palette and skillful craftsmanship thoughtfully complement the splendor of the outdoors. Both timeless and fresh, this transitional storybook masterpiece is designed to feel collected, curated, and completely at home in its natural surroundings.
