Property Description

Thoughtfully redesigned and curated by the current owners, 11610 Karen Drive is a reimagined mid-century modern home where interior and outdoor living spaces blend as one cohesive environment. Set on an expansive .62-acre lot in sought-after Lake Normandy Estates, the property showcases its contemporary finishes. Drawing on a background in landscape architecture, the seller thoughtfully curated an outdoor environment with an estimated exterior retail investment exceeding $300,000. The layered gardens were strategically placed to frame views through the home's expansive windows while creating privacy . Spring through fall, the gardens display a symphony of ever-changing color, texture, and seasonal interest. Curated views throughout the property include: 160+ newly planted trees, many very mature; 300+ boxwoods; rose, lavender, and tulip gardens; Redbud row; pea gravel and travertine pathways; an elevated greenhouse; an enclosed vegetable and herb house with cedar and locust wood raised beds and travertine flooring; a tool new shed; and a sport court. Designed for deer resistance and low natural maintenance while contoured for water mitigation and drainage. The private heated pool is surrounded by bluestone and travertine decks in a French pattern design. SEE LANDSCAPE FEATURES AND PLANTING LIST WITH DISCLOSURES.
