Welcome to 2608 Barbara Lane. Custom-built and lovingly held by one family since its completion, this exceptional residence is now being offered to the next family. Upon arrival, you're greeted by modern architecture framed by mature trees with a two-story glass entry, warm wood accents and a manicured circular drive. (Staged picture).
Day time picture of the stunning facade. Step up through manicured hedges to warm wood, open glass, and a gentle rise of steps to a welcoming pivot door that welcomes you home.
An oversized glass pivot door, both modern and timeless, opens to a sculptural staircase floating above a bed of river stone. This two-story light-filled foyer makes a quiet, confident first impression. Just to your left is your first-floor dedicated study/office (one of two offices in this home).
Just off the soaring two-story foyer, warm tile flows from the foyer to the herringbone floors in the formal dining room, where walls of glass bring in soft, natural light.
To the left of the entry, this first-floor study is rich and tailored with walls of windows framing tree-lined views. Hardwood floors and generous open shelving showcases books and collectibles.
This stately study opens directly to the foyer, offering a glimpse of the home's gracious flow, while floor-to-ceiling windows and warm built-in cabinetry complete the space.
High ceilings, herringbone floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows give the formal dining room an old-world European grace. A heavy sliding door offers privacy from the kitchen, and this room comfortably fits a much larger, expandable table for grand-scale entertaining.
Modern yet timeless, this sophisticated kitchen pairs a dramatic marble waterfall island and a beautifully curated, highly functional design. Commercial-grade appliances include a glass-door refrigerator, full-size freezer, double ovens, and a built-in Miele coffee system, creating a refined culinary space. The temperature-controlled glass wine room serves as a quiet divide between kitchen and formal dining.
Statement pendants and a wall of storage with clean linear hardware create a kitchen that feels both modern and enduring. The cooking wall adds a gas cook-top, built-in steamer, pot filler, and commercial-grade vent hood.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen flows effortlessly between the formal dining room at the front of the residence and the inviting living room beyond, creating a natural sense of connection throughout the main living spaces.
To the right of this picture, a dedicated mud room, walk-in pantry, and entry into the 2-car garage (another 1 car garage is located separately).
Step down into a light-filled living room designed for both quiet evenings and grand entertaining, with a linear fireplace, a softly lit display niche, and walls of glass bringing the outdoors in.
Flush wood cabinetry to the left of the fireplace adds discreet storage. The adjacent hallway leads to the powder bath, then on to the foyer and the first-floor study.
Streamlined linear air vents run across the ceiling throughout this home. Along the gray feature wall, a lit display niche sits above space already plumbed for a future wet bar. This home is thoughtfully outfitted with eleven ceiling-mounted speakers, including five in the living room, two in the kitchen, two in the dining room, and two in the outdoor living area.
From this angle, a long stone hearth, a linear gas fireplace, and steel-framed sliding glass doors open the living room to the covered patio and pool beyond. Beside the sliding doors, a separate door offers an easy path to the backyard.
Wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the pool and summer kitchen, this flex space offers ample storage, including drawers built beneath the stairs. Now a playroom, it could just as easily become a reading area or a quiet retreat.
Thoughtfully-designed storage keeps bins, belongings, and everyday essentials neatly tucked away. An elevator-ready closet sits beyond the wood door.
This hallway leads to a second staircase, the first-floor en-suite guest quarters, pool bath, and a separate one-car garage.
Welcome inside your upstairs primary retreat that rests on wide-plank white oak floors. Soft ambient lighting glows behind the custom accent wall, and sliding glass doors open to a private balcony among the treetops. The entrance to your luxurious en-suite bath retreat is located just to the right of the frame.
A generous primary retreat with room for a sitting area, with balcony access steps away.
Daylight from an above skylight, crystal chandelier overhead, and a freestanding soaking tub set on marble. A primary bath of quiet indulgence. The bedroom lies just beyond, and a private water closet is tucked away to the right.
This luxurious en-suite retreat is beautifully composed with dual vanities framed by expansive mirrors, a dedicated seated vanity and an oversized double-entry walk-in shower. This space flows seamlessly into a generous wrap-around walk-in closet, while the open door connects directly to the hallway.
Conceived as a private spa, the walk-in shower offers a rainfall showerhead, a wall-mounted showerhead, and body sprays. With double entry and a built-in marble bench, it invites a long, restorative soak in steam and water.
Wrapping gracefully from one side to the other, the primary closet unfolds with custom built-ins and generous hanging space. Every garment, accessory, and pair of shoes finds its place in this expansive closet.
Among three secondary bedrooms upstairs, this room offers a welcome sense of calm. Foam insulation along the street-facing wall softens the outside world, preserving the stillness within.
Timeless en-suite bathroom in this secondary bedroom.
The second of three upstairs secondary bedrooms pairs a private en-suite bath with foam-insulated walls for enhanced privacy. The home is carpet-free throughout, a detail discerning buyers will appreciate.
A dedicated en-suite bath provides primary and everyday convenience.
The third secondary bedroom upstairs, currently used for storage, also offers a private en-suite bath.
A private en-suite bath accompanies the third bedroom.
Privately tucked into a secluded corner of the upper level, this expansive media room offers a sophisticated retreat for intimate evenings at home. A cinematic projection screen takes center stage, while oversized windows are fitted with shades to create the perfect ambiance for movie nights.
Spacious and serene, this media room is an inviting escape designed for effortless relaxation and immersive entertainment.
This media room also features a beverage fridge with a sink, custom shelving and generous storage, plus a door opening to a private balcony overlooking the pool for seamless indoor-outdoor enjoyment.
Thoughtfully positioned just outside the primary suite, this home office with a built-in desk and storage brings modern function to the upstairs living. It is a refined, dedicated space for remote work by day and homework by evening. A sculptural wood feature wall artfully defines this space, creating a sense of privacy while adding warmth and architectural character.
A timeless powder bath is conveniently positioned off the second-floor hallway.
A well-designed second-floor utility room features a built-in sink and cabinetry for streamlined storage and everyday convenience.

Step outside to an exceptional covered outdoor kitchen, impeccably appointed with a vented grill hood, sink, and beverage fridge. Designed for elevated entertaining, this sophisticated outdoor living space offers a seamless extension of the home for memorable gatherings and effortless poolside hosting.
This resort-style backyard is beautifully finished with low-maintenance turf surrounding a sparkling pool and spa adjacent to the garage. A generous deck creates an inviting setting for alfresco entertaining and leisurely afternoons, making the most of our coveted Fall weather.
Tall evergreens line the perimeter of this backyard oasis offering privacy, shade, and quiet vitality to this private space.
Owners thoughtfully placed the electrical service underground, eliminating overhead lines and preserving the property's clean, uninterrupted architectural sightlines.
A bird's-eye view showcases the private backyard oasis, with the durable slate roof adding architectural appeal and exceptional longevity beyond traditional composition roofing.
The first-floor powder bath pairs timeless finishes with the understated luxury of a TOTO toilet.
This extended one-car garage offers versatility, opening on both sides to capture views of the sparkling pool. Currently outfitted for sports equipment, this space provides endless possibilities for recreation, storage, car parking, or a private poolside retreat.
Inside your private gated entry, a spacious parking area leads to your three-car garage. Abundant additional parking for family and friends in addition to the circular front driveway.
