2025 Custom Built Luxury Home * 1.66-acre Estate-Sized Lot • Stunning Kitchen ~~~~~ Welcome to 5042 Sophia Lane, Hernando, MS. Custom built in 2025, this 3,100-square-foot traditional farmhouse in Huntington Estates pairs elevated finishes with the space, privacy, and flexibility luxury buyers desire. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers five bedrooms, a bonus room that may serve as a sixth bedroom, three full bathrooms, an upstairs loft living area, and a three-car side-entry garage (with epoxied floor). Positioned near the end of a quiet cove, the 1.66-acre estate-sized lot extends into the trees, creating a private natural backdrop. An additional benefit: county-only taxes. ~~~~~ The striking exterior blends timeless brick with board-and-batten detailing and features a covered front porch, a covered side porch, and impressive double entry doors with sidelights. Across the rear of the home, a spacious covered patio creates an inviting setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the acreage view. Black metal fencing encloses a portion of the backyard, while the remaining acreage offers expansive lawn and additional wooded property beyond. ~~~~~ Inside, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and carefully selected finishes establish an upscale yet welcoming atmosphere. The open-concept great room, kitchen, and dining area are unified by wood flooring, crown molding, two-inch blinds, transom windows, and an impressive collection of oversized windows. At the heart of the home, the vaulted great room showcases a dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick gas-log fireplace with wood mantel, custom built-in shelving, and a wall of windows with double sliding doors opening to the covered patio . . . creating a perfect indoor-outdoor entertaining atmosphere. ~~~~~ Designed to be both beautiful and exceptionally functional, the kitchen features white cabinetry extending to the ceiling, a statement slate-blue island with seating, white quartz countertops, beautiful tiled backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, and a stunning commercial-styel 6-burner gas range. Two separate walk-in pantries provide outstanding storage, while the window-lined dining area offers views of the property and an abundance of natural light. The combined laundry and mudroom is equally well appointed with built-in cabinetry, open shelving, a bench / window-seat area, and substantial storage. ~~~~~ The main-level primary suite feels like a private retreat, complete with wood flooring and an oversized, custom-designed walk-in closet featuring built-in drawers, shelving, and generous hanging space. The spa-inspired bathroom includes a long quartz vanity with dual sinks, a separate makeup vanity, freestanding soaking tub, frameless-glass walk-in shower (with zero entry), and transom windows that fill the space with soft natural light. ~~~~~ A second bedroom on the main level adjoins another full bathroom with a quartz countertop and large walk-in shower, creating an ideal private guest suite. This flexible arrangement could also accommodate a home office while maintaining convenient access to a full bath. ~~~~~ Upstairs, three additional bedrooms are joined by a nice-sized bonus room that may function as a sixth bedroom and a separate loft living area . . . providing multiple options for media, recreation, study, or a second lounge. The third full bathroom features a large dual-sink vanity separated from the tub/shower and toilet area for added functionality. A substantial floored walk-in attic offers exceptional storage and potential for future finished space. ~~~~~ Additional features include a tankless water heater, two HVAC systems, individual-board roof decking, abundant interior storage, and multiple covered outdoor living areas.
