A MODERN SANCTUARY IN THE WOODS
There’s a moment—usually just after you pass through the gates of the property—when the outside world seems to fall away.
Set on more than four secluded acres in Southwest Allen County, this thoughtfully redesigned residence is less about scale and more about calm. The wooded surroundings act as both backdrop and buffer, framing the home in privacy while allowing light, air, and seasonal change to shape the daily experience.
The architecture leans modern, but not cold. West Coast–inspired in spirit, the home balances clean lines with texture and warmth. Entry is made through a modern glass double door, immediately revealing the heart of the home: a dramatic two-way, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchored by reclaimed wood beam mantels. It’s a defining gesture—simultaneously architectural and grounding—visible from multiple living spaces and setting the tone for everything that follows.
Blonde Linden Oak flooring runs throughout the main level, softening the geometry of soaring ceilings and expansive glass. Natural light moves easily through the home, animating the interiors from morning to dusk.
To one side of the entry, a generous home office offers quiet separation; to the other, a beautifully renovated powder room introduces the home’s refined, modern palette.
The main living area unfolds in layers rather than lines. A sunken living room creates distinct zones for conversation and gathering without interrupting flow. It’s open, but intentional—designed for real living rather than visual spectacle.
At the center of the home sits the kitchen: expressive, confident, and unmistakably designed for someone who loves to cook and host.
Leather-finished granite countertops add depth and tactility, while a substantial island with prep sink anchors the space. A Sub-Zero refrigerator and Thermador range meet a statement-making wood-burning pizza oven wrapped in stone—equal parts functional and sculptural.
Two walk-in pantries, one currently serving as a pizza-prep space, add a level of practicality rarely seen in homes of this caliber.
Large sliders open directly to the backyard, blurring the boundary between indoors and out.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a newly added laundry and mudroom elevates everyday routines. With a dog wash, Electrolux washer and dryer, utility sink, and additional refrigeration, it’s a space designed for lived-in ease—proof that luxury doesn’t have to announce itself.
The primary suite is discreetly positioned just off the main living area, offering privacy without isolation. It unfolds as a true retreat: a secondary office, a sunken sitting room, a generous walk-in closet, and an ultra-modern bath with dual vanities, a tiled shower, and a deep soaking tub.
A screened-in porch extends the suite outward, where a built-in hot tub overlooks the woods—quiet, immersive, and restorative.
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms with walk-in closets are joined by a flexible loft space and a fully renovated bath. Whether used for guests, family, or creative pursuits, the upper level maintains the home’s balance of openness and retreat.
Outside, the property fully reveals its intent. A sparkling in-ground pool is framed by pergola-covered decks and lush professional landscaping. Walking trails weave through the acreage, raised garden beds invite hands-on engagement with the land, and sunset views stretch across the treeline. It’s an entertainer’s setting, yes—but equally a place designed for solitude, reflection, and unhurried evenings.
Despite its deeply private feel, the home remains closely connected to everyday needs: SACS schools, nearby walking trails, Lutheran Hospital, and dining are all just moments away.
This is not simply a renovated home. It’s a carefully composed environment—modern yet warm, expressive yet restrained—where architecture, landscape, and lifestyle meet in quiet harmony.
