This one-of-a-kind masterpiece incorporates spectacular details that home buyers desire today including grand open spaces, soaring ceilings, designer custom finishes, enviable master bedroom suites, luxurious baths, an expansive rear property and a lower level that can accommodate an assortment of tastes and activities.
A soaring entry foyer boasting high ceilings, wide entries and built-in storage, combined with an open floor plan and a soft palette of neutral colors set against sleek flooring, are designed with today's home buyer in mind. An open concept main living area featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lush rear property make this the perfect home for those who appreciate architectural interest at every turn.
Architectural interest flows into the stunning Gourmet Kitchen where an integrated floating ceiling with cove lighting offers a dramatic focal point. A culinary hub, the kitchen features substantial cabinet storage and thick Caesarstone counters, giving way to a full-height stone backsplash. The gourmet kitchen boasts Porcelanosa cabinetry with professional appliances including 48" Sub-Zero Refrigerator/Freezer, 36" Wolf Gas Range, Custom Exhaust Vent, 30" Wolf Wall Oven, Wolf Microwave, 24" Miele Dishwasher, expansive center island with seating, built-in workstation and a walk-in pantry. For the wine connoisseur, nearby there is a 12' glass-enclosed wine cellar with an independent cooling unit and steel shelves. All spaces in the home continue a modern yet warm and inviting white pallette-based design.
Soaring ceilings and exposed columns are the centerpieces of this home. As you take in expansive views of your surroundings, the floor plan invites you to arrange your furnishings as you see fit. Natural wood and exposed stone bring texture and interest, while recessed listing throughout contributes to a warm glow.
The master suite is an oasis in and of itself. Walking from the main hall through a large door, a vestibule ensures that the room is completely tucked away from the rest of the home. In this vestibule, homeowners are greeted with a dressing room outfitted with custom cabinetry, and a substantial master bath. Featuring only the finest marble, custom wood cabinetry, jetted Duravit tub, oversized walk-in shower, separate commode room and an outdoor shower, hotel rooms will always be a disapointment. Continuing on through the vestibule, the true piece-de-resistance is revealed. The bedroom's focal point is the wall of windows and doors to the private stone patio. A custom built-in bed with nightstands adorns the room and continues the modern simplicity. This master suite is sure to please even the most discerning of buyers.
Ascending the stairs to the second level via the 4' wide steel staircase with 2" oak treads, one finds a loft which is wired for an entertainment area. Large windows, exposed stone and a 10' ceiling highlight this space. On the second floor also reside four generous bedrooms, all with private ensuite bathrooms and built-in wardrobe centers. A laundry center also resides on this level with built-in cabinetry, offering a plethora of storage.
The grounds are breathtaking with expansive sweeping lawns and privacy all around. The custom terraces and patios across the rear of the property offer delightful views of the lush park-like property. From morning coffee to late night dinner parties, there isn’t a more perfect place to start or finish the day.
Step into this extraordinary residence and be prepared to fall in love.
