Open House Saturday 1‹“4 PM. Just 8 minutes east of Leo Crossing lies Makarios Place‹”an upscale enclave where modern elegance meets timeless serenity. Named after the Greek word for blessed,‹ this riverside sanctuary offers access to the St. Joseph River and Leo Reservoir, perfect for boating, kayaking, and quiet escapes into nature‹”yet is just minutes from coffee shops, boutiques, pizza parlors, and even community pickleball courts. Star Homes by Delagrange & Richhart, forging a legacy of craftsmanship since 1960, unveils its maiden luxury offering in Makarios: The Cedar Summit, a French-inspired triumph of design and drama spanning 2,787 sq ft. The exterior sets a regal tone: triple gables with noir cedar accents, stained limestone pillars, a welcoming veranda, exquisite stonework, and French cottage shutters. Enter through grand double glass doors into a barrel-vaulted foyer crowned by a chandelier, flanked by arched entries leading to a stately office and ensuite guest quarters. The Great Room dazzles with 10' stained double-beam ceilings, triple Andersen windows with transoms, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace‹”one of two curated showpieces in this home. The chef's kitchen delivers both form and function with nimbus-stained ceiling-height cabinetry, Italian stone backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, 8' quartz island, integrated microwave, gas range, and hidden pantry. A bespoke dry bar/breakfast buffet links the kitchen to the vaulted dining room, where a third chandelier and floating solid-wood shelves add understated flair. Open the custom glass doors to an all-season sunroom overlooking the shimmering pond, crowned by a tongue-&-groove vaulted ceiling and brass pinwheel chandelier. The covered outdoor living space‹”anchored by a second fireplace‹”features vaulted ceilings, multiple seating zones, and direct access to your owner's suite, wrapped in Thunder Grey elegance with double crown molding. Indulge in the spa-like bath with quartz vanities, bespoke lighting, and a 10' fully tiled shower, bathed in natural light from a high transom. A custom walk-in closet, luxe laundry suite with Tarragon cabinetry, and bonus upper-level retreat (complete with full bath and walk-in closet) add even more flexibility. The 851 sq ft 3-car garage, designer drop zone, dramatic dark brass hardware, and landscaped grounds round out this showstopper. Makarios Place is more than a neighborhood‹”it's a lifestyle.
