20 Waterstone Pl
Jackson, MS 39211

Truly one of a kind home in gated Waterstone in northeast Jackson. Total square footage is 6,855, with over 5,000 on the first floor of the main home. It really is about more than square footage here though. This home is about a lifestyle of peaceful living, yet it is an excellent entertaining space, with indoor and outdoor areas that flow into one another. Upon entry to the foyer you will notice the stone floors which, in this area, are pillow cut. There are two coat closets with generous space. A beautiful guest powder room is near by. To the left of the foyer is the formal dining room. Begin to notice the crown molding and 12 inch baseboards that carry throughout much of the home. Ceiling height is 11 to 12 feet throughout. To the right of the foyer is the owner's favorite room that is currently used as a living room/music room, and has one of three fireplaces in the home. Around the corner from the foyer is a walk-in wet bar with two wine coolers, stone countertops, an ice maker, sink and generous barware storage. Continuing past the bar you come to the casual dining area which like most of the house looks out over the gallery/logia and the courtyard. The stone floors in this area are heated as they are in several areas of the home. The dining room, living room, kitchen, den, primary bedroom and study have quarter-sawn oak hardwood floors. Features include whole house Lutron lighting controls, high performance insulation, a generator to power much of the home in the event of a power outage, alarm system, irrigation system, cypress ceiling beams, surround sound speaker system wired throughout, double pane windows made in Canada, 9 foot interior doors with Rocky Mountain hardware, living and dining room windows and shutters made in Canada. The den features a stone hearth and fireplace surround and a reclaimed antique cypress beam for the extra long mantel. The kitchen features granite countertops, beautiful high-end laminated custom cabinetry, ice maker, Viking refrigerator, double oven, gas cooktop and warming drawer. The refrigerator and dishwasher have matching fronts to the cabinets. There is a butler's pantry/staging area between the kitchen and dining room with great storage. The laundry room includes a folding table on wheels that matches the cabinets and countertops in the room, a dog wash sink, and a half bath. The main house includes a very roomy owner's suite with a study/library and two full bathrooms. This bedroom has great space. The study includes wonderful bookshelves and cabinets and rich wood panels. The bathrooms each have ample space and storage, and two well planned closets, the larger of which has a high window for natural light, and a central packing table so you do not have to bend over to the floor or put your suitcase on your bed. Upstairs is another bedroom that can have many other uses, and there are two rooms off of that bedroom that are currently used as an office and an exercise room. The central focal point of the house is the courtyard which features stone floors, stone plinths, flagstone in the landscape, a sizable Japanese maple and a Koi pond with a fountain made from a millstone from the seller's family homeplace. Off the two car garage is a potting room with a sink, Dutch door to the courtyard and a half bath. It is heated for overwintering of plants. There is much storage in the garage area. The other two of the four bedrooms are in the guest house, which while under the same roof, is not contiguous with the main house. This affords both owner and guests privacy. Each of the guest house bedrooms has a full en suite bathroom. There is space for a coffee bar and mini fridge in the foyer of the guest house. Beneath all of this is a foundation with extra structural support. Sitting in the courtyard you might think you are in the tropics, but you are 2 minutes from I-55 and 5 minutes from the area medical community, shopping and dining. You must see this house to truly believe it!
