Enjoy the ambiance and elegance in this magnificent, one-of-a-kind home. This estate is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. As you arrive, you will be presented with upscale sophistication, yet quickly be surrounded with the warmth and comfort of ''home''. The grand foyer sets the tone for showcasing high end finishes along with exceptional quality. The formal dining room is the first to welcome you. Connecting it to the kitchen is a butler's pantry providing storage and display options. The well-appointed kitchen features top of the line appliances, cypress cabinets & an island ideal for quick meals or entertaining. An informal dining area and den complete the open kitchen. Beyond the informal living sits a hall that leads you to a bedroom suite with its own office nook and bathroom, perfect for teenagers, adult children or extended relatives. At the end of the wing is a handy half bath, exterior entrance & laundry room which also holds the home's technology hub. If you choose to veer right off the grand foyer, you will enter into the studious office lined with bookshelves and accented with a fireplace. Hidden behind a wall is a secret wine cellar ready to hold thousands of bottles of wine from your favorite vineyards and travels. Through the rear of the office is a private hall giving access to the office half bath and entrance into the owners' suite. Tranquility filters through the air as you experience the divine owners' suite which presents massive windows that overlook the pool & an opulent ensuite bath with dual closets, spa-like tub, separate double shower and vanity with reflective tv. At the center of the home sits the Great Room. Befitting of a home for entertaining, this room sets the scene for intimate concerts, holiday gatherings or private benefits. Doors can be closed for food preparation while the in-house bar holds space for both service and enjoyment of refreshments. An enchanting fountain serves as background through the curved windows that encompass the piano alcove. Venture up the ornate spiral staircase to the second floor which opens to a breezeway with a balcony overlooking the Great Room on one end, a balcony overlooking the cul-de-sac on the other end and a quaint reading nook in between. As with the bedrooms on the first floor, both bedrooms on the second floors each serve as an ensuite with ample closet space & its own private bath.
