A Sense of Elegance
|
Representing a seamless fusion of the past and present this classic residence is ensconced in a manicured 2.38 acre setting, with pool, heated spa, glorious perennial gardens, stately shade trees and lawns. A long, symmetrically perfect drive leads directly to a handsome front courtyard. Built within the last decade by master craftsmen, the home is replete with marble and oak floors, hand-crafted millwork, crystal chandeliers, arched doorways, voluminous high ceilings and a host of other custom finishes, each bringing a refined ambience to the 10,300 square foot interior. French doors and wide windows capture copious light while maximizing views of the grounds and pool. The baronial entrance foyer immediately invites the eye upward from the marble floor, to the sweeping staircase and marvelous two story coffered ceiling. Regal columns, sets of French doors and wainscoting add composition to the polished living spaces. Tall eight over one windows grace the formal living room with tranquil property panoramas. French doors lead out to a romantic veranda from the cherry paneled library with fireplace and wet bar. The dining room is exquisitely paneled and crowned by a coffered ceiling, a perfect place for grand repasts. Set within the heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen appointed with marble counters, chef's appliances, wine cooler, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezers and a walk-in pantry. Casual style dining is enjoyed in the light-filled breakfast room or seasonally on the adjoining sun terrace. A memorable great room with stone fireplace and high beamed ceiling has a lovely composition that is both welcoming and relaxed. Upstairs the master suite with fireplace, sitting area, marble baths/spas, customized dressing rooms, an exercise/yoga loft and balcony is sublimely attractive and comfortable. The upstairs also includes six additional bedrooms, five baths and a second floor family room which accommodates a large active household. The lower level is an entertainment delight with media room, billiards room, hobby/studio, wine cellar and tasting room. The allure of the residence is sealed by its design, amenities and an enviable mid-country location.
