This is what 20 years of custom home building looks like when the builder builds for himself, and it's far from your everyday spec home. Finished in 2023 on a landscaped 0.58-acre lot in Providence, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home has about 4,775 square feet. Step through the iron-works front doors and the 10-foot ceilings, floor-resting windows and solid timber beams set the tone: built to last, with no shortcuts. Behind the kitchen, a butler's pantry with its own fridge, double oven, microwave and ice maker keeps the mess out of sight. The main-level primary suite is a spa-like retreat, with an oversized dual-head shower, a 6-foot tub and tile to the ceiling. Downstairs, the walkout level adds four more bedrooms, two full baths and a 675 sq ft theater with a kitchenette, made for movie nights and game days. Two laundry rooms keep life easy. Outside, a timber-framed deck, gas fire pit and finished yard pull the evenings outdoors. Even what you can't see was done right, from dual furnaces to sound-barrier insulation. Most homes are built for buyers. This one was built for the builder's own family, and it shows in every detail.
