Exceptional in every detail, this elegant, professionally designed home, located in Bannockburn Estates, is unique in style and design through thoughtful visual connection to the surrounding exterior spaces including a 1.25+ acre double-lot backing to the beautiful conservation area of Booze Creek Stream Valley Park. The inviting circular driveway provides easy access to the almost 6, 000 sq. ft. main level living area. Welcomed by dramatic lighting and marble floored foyer, the spaces are expansive yet intimate with exceptional design, detail and quality. There is a formal living room with a gas fireplace, a formal dining room that says dinner party, a butler’s pantry, large walk-in pantry, and mud room. The kitchen is gorgeous with high end appliances, extra refrigerator drawers, two dishwashers, double-oven, unique built-ins, island, table spaced and open to the soaring ceiling in the family room with gas fireplace, deck, and screened in porch featuring a wood burning fireplace. The floors on the main level are primarily European French oak engineered hardwood and special touches throughout include built-ins, special lighting, and thoughtful grand hallway leading to the four main-level bedrooms. The primary suite is a dream come true with the very personal connection with the outdoor spaces and exceptional design and light coming from three sides. It includes a large deck private to the primary suite overlooking the property. There are dual walk-in closets with custom built ins. The primary bath is beautiful with every detail: dressing table, dual vanities, soaking tub with amazing views, large steam shower, privacy closet, and four-person sauna. The three additional main-level suites each have private, uniquely designed full bathrooms, walk-in closets and juliet balconies. Also off the grand hallway is a well-organized laundry room with plenty of storage in a central location. The over 3, 000 sq. ft. lower level is great for entertaining with a built-in wine tasting room, media room, large recreation room with a built-in bar, beverage cooler and refrigerator, a gas fireplace, powder room, a bonus room that would be a great gym/office/hobby room with an outside entrance. Additionally, this level has another bedroom suite with a full bath, walk-in closet and separate outside access. This well planned home keeps the household organized with smartly located storage, extra closets, and two separate mud rooms (one on each level). A major renovation, redesign, and expansion was completed in 2023. In addition, an accessory unit was constructed with a two level deck, wood burning fireplace, artist studio (including special sink trap), office, closet, half-bath, separate HVAC, tankless HWH, and spiral staircase. The pool, hot-tub, and spacious outside living areas have a half-bathroom, shower room, and an additional dressing room for convenience. There is also a separate pool equipment room integrated into the house. Beyond the sunny patio and pool area, you'll find a shed with electricity, dog run, and a rustic firepit area beneath mature trees.
