Beyond the gates of Waterstone Estates lies something increasingly rare in North Texas: a custom home on a private one-acre lot in a gated community, framed by mature trees where mornings begin with birdsong instead of traffic and evenings settle beneath an expansive covered patio. It’s a place where life naturally slows, yet every convenience is just minutes away. Inside, hand-scraped solid hardwood floors anchor a thoughtfully designed main level. A dedicated home office + first-floor primary suite create a floor plan that is both practical and refined. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, crowned by a vaulted groin ceiling—a striking architectural detail rarely found in modern construction. Wrapped in Italian Carrara marble, the spa-inspired bath features an oversized vanity, expansive double shower, and a quiet elegance that invites you to linger. Also on the main level are a spacious utility room with mud area, powder bath, and an EF5-rated Family Safe storm shelter, discreetly integrated for exceptional peace of mind. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a generous second living area provide flexibility for family and guests. An approximately 400 SF climate-controlled flex space with a private entrance is ideal as a studio, executive office, fitness room, or private retreat. Outside, the backyard is a rare blank canvas. Framed by mature trees and established landscaping, it offers remarkable privacy and endless possibilities. Envision a resort-style pool, elegant fire feature, cabana, or sophisticated outdoor living spaces while preserving the tranquil setting that makes this property so distinctive. With a new roof scheduled for installation, the next owner inherits a thoughtfully maintained home ready for its next chapter. Despite its remarkable seclusion, this estate is minutes from Historic Downtown McKinney, Melissa H-E-B, Highway 75, the Sam Rayburn Tollway, and McKinney National Airport—offering the rare balance of privacy without isolation.
