672 Walnut Valley Parkway

$2,995,000 – 3 bedrooms – 3 full baths – 3 half baths – 4,681 sq. ft. – 1.11 acres


There are custom homes, and then there are homes built by craftsmen where every detail is considered. 672 Walnut Valley Parkway was designed and constructed by a fifth-generation carpenter, and the evidence is apparent from the moment you arrive: a hand-laid cobblestone driveway with a pattern inspired by ancient Roman roads guides you to the front door, framed by gardens.

Inside, the layout is evocative of a mid-century ranch-style home and styled for the 21st. Visitors are greeted by a human-scale living room punctuated by picture windows and anchored by a wood-burning stone fireplace. Adjoining is the home's showpiece: a chef's kitchen and dining area that features double wall ovens, a custom island, bright marble countertops, and chevron-patterned tile backsplashes. More picture windows flood the area with light and foliage, as if you're standing in a treehouse.

Sliding glass doors off the main level open to a large Trex deck at canopy level, perfect for al fresco dining. The lower terrace level adds guest suites, bonus recreation space, a dedicated second laundry room, and a large workshop with significant potential to become a wine cellar, media room, or collector car storage—the footprint is already there.
