1236 S Monroe Street

A rare study in craftsmanship and care, this custom Cory Merrill residence has seen over $400,000 in owner investment since 2021 -- from solar and new HVAC to a full landscape transformation -- layered atop a home already built for gracious living. High ceilings and glass French doors introduce a light-filled office; beyond, a formal living and dining room bring elegance to this traditional home. The designer kitchen -- floor to ceiling cabinetry, diamond-tile backsplash, quartz throughout, Bosch appliances and a wine fridge -- opens to a vaulted family room with a gas fireplace, built for gathering. Upstairs, the primary suite indulges with a mountain-view sitting room, custom closet, and a five-piece marble bath; two additional en-suite bedrooms complete the level, freshly carpeted in 2024. A finished lower level adds guest quarters, a large flex space, and custom built storage space. Outside features three distinct outdoor areas that create seamless indoor-outdoor living: A pergola-covered patio in the backyard perfect for lounging, a private courtyard with built-in grill great for outdoor dining, and front porch overlooking spectacular landscaping, tucked behind brand-new fencing. Plantation shutters, a floating staircase, Lutron smart lighting, and an oversized attached garage with custom built in storage and cabinetry complete this exceptional offering on one of the neighborhood's quietest streets.
