407 Saint Augustine Drive # 407

Welcome to 407 St Augustine Dr in Madison, MS. Perfectly located in the City of Madison at the intersection of Rice Rd and St. Augustine Dr. As you begin the tour take in the beauty and privacy of 5 acrds +/- acres of private land, shade trees, pond, and incredible entry drive to the home. Upon arrival you will notice beautiful oaks and planted pines along the drive. A quick peak to your left will reveal your private pond with mostly like a preening mallard, a turtle possibly, and fish swimming on the edges. Continuing your approach to the Home you will notice a fork in the drive leading to a circular drive for quick entry and guest drop-off. Finish your approach to parking in your garage by going under the covered walkway. Take a 3 second pause, and look to your right and you will notice a detached cottage. It is built to mirror the architecture of the home. It can be your private office, guest house, individual escape when needed, or movie theater for those with some creativity. It is referred to as a Carriage house. Its own front porch is just as welcoming as the one on the main house, begging for rocking chairs and hot cups of coffee or cold ice tea. Plan for the day, or wind down at the end of it. Don't worry these porches are not the only place for that. In order to complete your drive home, simply continue under the covered walkway, over the brick lined path, and pull right into one of three garage spots with ample room for today's larger family vehicles. Grab your briefcase, groceries, or purse and enter the home from the private owners door on the side of the house. From here, depending on the day, you can immediately put down your carried items on the large kitchen island and begin your wind down. You will notice the highest end appliances, gourmet kitchen, and custom built cabinetry. Custom is the key to this Home. Everything was thought out and designed by architects, interior designers, and the current owners. Emphasis was put on accessibility, and simplicity with particular attention placed on open and inviting interior room. The Home is a four bedroom four and one half bath structure encompassing 5200 square feet. Master accommodations are on one side and family accommodations are on the other. Included off the open kitchen is a family room for gathering. You will notice as you move around the Home the incredible patterns and attention to detail of the hardwood floors as they run throughout the Home. At the front entry you will notice on the right and the left of the entry hall, two offices. They can be transformed into whatever your heart desires. Huge custom windows looking out on to the front of the property provide incredible lighting and views from these spaces. The Home is specifically situated on the property to take advantage of the patterns of the sun, limiting direct intrusion of sun, and taking advantage of North and South facing advantages. As impressive an entry as it is the rear porches of the Home are the same. Opportunities to cook outdoors are there with the built in grill. Private courtyard with blue slate pebble walkways around the courtyard give 360 degree access to flower beds, and open up to the rear four plus acres of property which can be purchased separately. Current owners built the courtyard with attention given to the possibility of building a pool. It is an incredible opportunity to build one right there, they just chose not to do so. The construction of the Home is not to be left unnoticed. Custom built in 2018 with special attention given to the foundation. Multiple engineered pilings drilled deep into the earth and reinforced with steel and filled with a specifically ordered concrete recipe insure without a shadow of a doubt this Home is built to last and stay where it is. So much love and detail has been given to this home that to describe it in words would not do it justice. Please take a few minutes to peruse the pictures and enjoy the visual descriptions.
