Subtle elegance and exceptional quality is consistent throughout this home. The superb balance of aesthetic and functional design reflects the seller' s experiences in custom building repeatedly. With each of the 5 bedrooms is a private bath and the two ground floor half baths are optimally located for convenience of both family and guests. The elevator available from from the expansive tiled foyer provides an alternative to the gorgeously curved stairway to the lower level where you' ll find a second master suite with wheel-chair accessible shower, which was provided for seller' s mother. At the spacious foyer from which you can choose your direction of transition into each activity zone of the house begins the theme of gently curved corners and softly lit, warm colors that bring to the inside the natural elements found outside. Walnut floors (hand-scraped on the job site)durably grace the entire main-level and stairway. Glazed, palm-plastered walls and ceilings (except bedrooms in lower level), captivating woodwork crafted by tony ferraro, and 4 limestone fireplaces hand-carved with an air-chisel by the same craftsman who did the custom-stained marble counter-tops for the kitchen, all bathrooms and the laundry, begin the sumptuously nourishing feast for the senses in the details of this home. Custom-stained marble flooring in the foyer and adjoining powder room, oversize marble showers (only 1 required glass door), massive crown moldings, solid structural beams in lr, dr, kitchen/hearthroom, and solid wood doors and compatible hardware everywhere are just a few examples of the quality permeating the home. The wet bar/serving area of the formal dining space has wine racks, ice machine and enclosed stereo components (included), all set apart by 200 yr old iron gates from france. Built-in ceiling speakers thru-out and system controls in many rooms allows you to set the mood all around the house. (up to three different sound selections can simultaneously play to different areas of the house. ) the integrated lutron lighting system, too, offers multiple choices in ambiance, including multiple automated on/off/time/light level settings and a master remote control, especially convenient at bedtime. The master suite with sitting area is truly a place of relaxation and reflection, with fireplace, built-ins, and naturally serene views to the backyard waterfall and koi pond, gorgeous landscaping and wooded greenbelt separating it and the golf course beyond. The comfortably designed master bath not only takes you away, but privately accesses the backyard, patio, and custom, half-moon-shaped, gunnite hot-tub. From the bathroom and right next to the bedroom a closet/dressing room with abundant built-ins and added security and safe is a place unto itself for personal organization. The all walnut office/library which is both privately off the foyer and near the mbr, has built-in cabinets/bookcases and computer center. Among all the magnetic spots for spending time in this home, the hearthroom/kitchen may be the warmest and most inviting space of all. A computer desk/mudroom area connects the kitchen not only to the ultimate laundry room (12 x 11) and 2nd powder rm, but outside to the built-in thermador grill on the east elevated patio/walkway that leads to the larger elevated, covered concrete deck in back. The mudroom also connects to the oversize 3-car garage with textured flooring, lighted attic storage, and separately accessed golf cart garage with built-in golf-equipment bins. Two main garage doors auto-close after a set time if left open. The main powder room vanity and dining room wet bar are antiques from a dallas shop. So much more to be discovered. The design balance, quality and essential feel of this home eludes both pictures and thousands of words - truly one-of-a-kind and a rare value opportunity for the discerning buyer! Hoa includes sprinkler system start-up and winterizing, mowing, trimming, fertilizing, and snow removal.
