About this home

Highly desirable St. Croix's Sanctuary neighborhood custom-built 2 story home offering luxury, privacy, and breathtaking views. Set against peaceful private scenery, this exceptional residence offers nearly 5,500 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, filled with high-end finishes and elegant details at every turn. The open-concept main level is designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. At the heart of the home is an incredible gourmet kitchen featuring a large center island, walk-in pantry, rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and striking Brazilian hardwood floors. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the spacious living room with a cozy gas fireplace and custom built-ins, while the formal dining room provides the perfect backdrop for gatherings and celebrations. A main-floor office offers an ideal work-from-home retreat, and the cedar-wrapped screened porch invites you to linger — whether it's morning coffee with the sunrise or an evening glass of wine. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms await, anchored by an owner's suite designed as a true private sanctuary. Tray-vault ceilings, a spa-inspired ensuite bath with a jetted tub, walk-in shower, heated tile floors, dual vanity with granite countertops, and a spacious walk-in closet make this a space you'll never want to leave. A second upper-level suite with its own private full bath is perfect for guests or multigenerational living. Both upper-level and main-floor laundry rooms add everyday ease. The walkout lower level is an entertainer's dream. A large open family room with a second gas fireplace, a custom wet bar, and a dedicated theatre room set the stage for unforgettable evenings. A fifth bedroom a full bath, an exercise room that could easily serve as a sixth bedroom, and heated floors throughout round out this level. A rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable home in one of the area's most coveted executive neighborhoods.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
