Unique features: Located in the Village of Harper’s Choice, this stone-accented home is adjacent to a beautiful golf course but the owners of this property will prefer to swing a racket instead of a club. The custom built estate features a tennis court right in the backyard. A nearby pergola offers a view of all the action on center court. Indoors, there’s plenty to see and enjoy as well including 10-foot ceilings, custom built-ins, multiple fireplaces and enlarged custom windows to soak in the views of the home’s wooded location on a quiet cul-de-sac. The home’s expansive layout offers a multitude of rooms on the main level, including a living room, family room, sun room, mud room, dining room, office and a library. The upper level offers four bedrooms, each with its own private en suite bath. A large great room is also on the upper level. Hardwood floors are throughout the spacious retreat, which includes a circular driveway with plenty of room for visitors. A wraparound porch with flagstone and brick pavers is perfect for a peaceful evening after a game, set and match.
