Property Description

For the buyer looking for something different in TerraBella. Designed by J. Hand with interiors by Jeff Taaffe Designs, 420 Melrose offers a distinctive contemporary take on the TerraBella lifestyle. Situated across from Bocage Court park, this 3,280-square-foot home features 4 bedrooms plus a spacious second-floor flex room that can serve as an office, media room, studio, playroom, or 5th bedroom. The open-concept interior pairs 12-foot ceilings with stained concrete and wood flooring, custom blinds, Kelly Wearstler lighting, and thoughtful architectural details throughout. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining with Liebherr refrigeration, a Bosch gas range, natural stone countertops, and a generous butler's pantry with ice machine. Utility rooms on both levels and a whole-house generator add exceptional convenience. Outside, a covered entertaining area with a wood-burning fireplace, television, outdoor kitchen, and built-in Coyote grill extends the living space year-round. Just outside the front door are the parks, walkable streets, dining, shopping, and community events that make TerraBella such a special place to live. For buyers who love the TerraBella lifestyle but want a home with a more modern point of view, 420 Melrose stands apart.
