Start your summer mornings in a guard-gated retreat, coffee in hand, looking out over a sparkling salt-water pool framed by lush greenery and a peaceful tree-lined greenbelt. That's the everyday reality at this stunning custom home in King Lake, McKinney's only guard-gated community. Inside, the home unfolds with warmth and intention. The living room invites you in with wood beams, a gorgeous stone fireplace, and a wall of windows that keeps the outdoors always in view. The kitchen, with rich brown wood cabinets, a 6-burner cooktop, double ovens, and built-in refrigerator, flows naturally into the living and dining spaces, making it easy to host or simply gather. For those who work from home, a dedicated study with French doors and a custom built-in wall of shelves and desk offers a quiet, distinguished retreat. Wind down in the downstairs media room, just across from the wet bar and wine storage. Fire up the outdoor kitchen, relax in the temperature-controlled pool and spa, with both a heater and a chiller for true year round use, and let the evening slow down around you. With 4 bedrooms, a game room, an office, a media room, and a wet bar, this home has room for every chapter of life, and enough space to do it beautifully without feeling excessive in size. Beyond the gates, Stonebridge Ranch delivers a full lifestyle: resort pools, the Beach Club, pickleball, tennis, walking trails, and two signature golf courses. Summer is the best time to call this home yours.
