Sophisticated Modern Home With Serene Wooded Retreat

Welcome to 2026 Mallard Lane in Mallard Pond, where striking modern design meets the warmth, scale, and function of a truly livable custom home that rises well beyond the typical newer luxury build. Custom built by Pine Valley Builders in 2024, this six bedroom, six full bathroom home offers six thousand three square feet of beautifully finished living space on over a half-acre homesite backing to wooded greenspace in Marshall Township. Step inside to a bright, dramatic foyer where ten-foot ceilings, eight-foot doors, warm herringbone wood flooring, and carefully selected designer lighting set the tone. The finishes in the home office, dining room and first-floor guest bedroom ensuite are current and refined but still warm and livable, with details like glass doors, black-framed windows, thoughtful built-ins and custom wainscoting details that carry beautifully from room to room. The heart of the home opens into a stunning twenty-foot two-story great room, where a soaring wall of windows frames the wooded backdrop and a one hundred-inch linear fireplace anchors the space with clean, sculptural presence. The room is impressive in scale but softened by light, texture, and the natural view beyond the glass. It can hold a full house during the holidays and still feel calm on an ordinary evening at home. The kitchen is beautifully crafted for both everyday living and serious entertaining, with ceiling-height cabinetry, quartz countertops, Jenn-Air appliances, an oversized center island, walk-in pantry, butler’s pantry and a prep kitchen tucked just out of sight. The prep kitchen is one of the home’s smartest luxuries giving you a second working space for party trays, coffee countertop appliances dishes or all the behind-the-scenes pieces that make hosting easier. It keeps the main kitchen open and beautiful while the real-life work of feeding the family has a place to happen. Just beyond the kitchen is sunny morning room wrapped in windows that opens directly to covered rear porch. The covered rear porch feels like true outdoor living room with wood ceiling stone fireplace and peaceful views over yard toward trees. The wooded backdrop gives the home a sense of privacy and calm while still being part of neighborhood setting. Upstairs,the owner’s suite is spacious serene,and beautifully finished with tray ceiling sitting area large windows private dry bar with beverage refrigeratorand two dream-worthy walk-in closets with custom built-ins (including an island in larger of two).
