Built in 2018, this 5,638-square-foot residence sits on a generous 1.02-acre lot in the coveted Hamptons neighborhood, where luxury meets tranquility. With five bedrooms, five-plus bathrooms, and a design that blends modern elegance with timeless comfort, this home is more than a place to live – it’s a place to thrive.
The homeowners built the house with personal purpose and passion. Having moved to Omaha in 2016, when the couple started envisioning and planning for their first “built” home, they had specific requests—and needs—in mind. “We wanted to live somewhere with a country feel close to city conveniences; that was our first priority,” the homeowners said. “We found the lot pretty quickly—near the picturesque rolling hills and panoramic views near the Elkhorn River—and then started working with a builder and his home designer. Things took off from there.”
This residence, like a sentinel of comfort, stands proudly in the Hamptons neighborhood, a community known for its distinct character and inviting spirit. The charming façade welcomes with an elegant blend of modern architectural lines and classic brickwork, accented by a meticulously landscaped yard that bursts with vibrant colors through blossoming flowers and lush green grass—especially in the spring and fall.
As you step inside, you’re greeted by soaring ceilings, expansive windows, solid wood flooring and a layout that flows effortlessly from room to room. “Everything we chose—from finishes to flooring to the outside house color—was made with deliberate selection because we truly wanted this to be more than a house; we wanted it to be our home,” the homeowners said.
Sunlight pours in through large windows, illuminating an open floor plan that seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen. A second-level catwalk overlooking the great room and kitchen brings the main floor together with a view. The heart of the home—a gourmet kitchen—features high-end appliances, custom cabinetry and a sleek mixture of granite and quartz countertops, making it a hub of culinary creativity for family meals. Two gas fireplaces add warmth and charm, while the finished sunken basement with built-in bar includes space for a home theater, gym, or game room.
Considered the “highlight of the house,” the basement was “designed for entertaining, with a five-channel theater with built-in subwoofers and surround sound. It’s a true entertainer’s dream in so many ways.”
Along with regular living spaces, the primary bedroom suite is on the main floor of the home with three more bedrooms and multiple bathrooms on the second floor. There is a fifth bedroom and bathroom on the lower basement level. The primary suite not only boasts a large bedroom, but through the double-sink bathroom is a large dressing closet that is the envy of the space.
What truly sets this property apart is its outdoor oasis. The in-ground saltwater pool sparkles under the Nebraska sun, inviting summer gatherings and quiet morning swims with slide and diving board. A large, covered deck (24×12) replete with fireplace and outdoor TV brings the inside and outside together for cool spring and fall days and evenings.
Surrounded by mature trees and manicured landscaping—most chosen and planted by the homeowners—the backyard feels like a private retreat. Whether hosting a barbecue or enjoying a glass of wine under the stars, this space is designed for making memories. “We’ve loved every moment in this house; it’s truly been a great place to raise our family and live together with great neighbors and surroundings,” the homeowners said. “We planned and built this home with deliberate choices so that we would enjoy every room, every level.”
When describing what they appreciate about The Hamptons, they said, “What’s truly special is its balance.” It’s close enough to Omaha for a quick commute, yet far enough to escape the hustle. Just a short drive away, residents can explore bustling shopping districts, eclectic dining options, and a host of entertainment venues. This balance allows for a serene daily life with wildlife on and surrounding the property while keeping adventure and excitement within reach.
“This was our first build, and it has exceeded all of our expectations and then some over the past several years,” the homeowners said. “We thought the process of designing and building would be stressful, but it wasn’t. Life here with country surrounding us but city life close by has given us the best of both worlds.” For more information on this property, contact Lisa Harbin with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, Lisa.Harbin@BetterHomes.com, 402-630-2192.
