One of the most distinctive features of 8699 Ivy Stark Boulevard is the privately accessed attached apartment-style suite, created during the home's original construction. The suite includes its own one-car garage, private entrance from the garage, bedroom, bathroom, living area, and multiple closets. This thoughtfully designed space offers flexibility for multigenerational living, extended-stay guests, a private workspace, hobbies, or other lifestyle needs, while maintaining separation from the home's primary living areas. Built in 2021, this impressive Epperson residence offers 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, approximately 4,271 heated square feet, and 5,561 total square feet. Situated on an oversized homesite with no rear neighbors and a peaceful conservation/natural area behind the property, the home offers a private setting that is increasingly sought after. From the upstairs loft and balcony, enjoy picturesque views of King Lake. The spacious interior features a large downstairs den, currently used as a gym, and an oversized upstairs loft, providing additional room for entertaining, recreation, work, or relaxing.
