Property Description
Terra cotta ''saltillo'' tiles imported from Spain abound in the kitchen, sitting room, and grandiose family room. Custom bookshelves and a real fireplace make this a great venue for family evenings of watching movies, playing games, or reading in front of a cozy fire. Overlooking the family room is another area with tons of possibilities...play room, craft room, homework room... with shelving around the perimeter ideal for housing your book, magazine, or record collection. French doors and large windows throughout the home draw in the light from outside. Off the family room awaits a true chef's paradise with attention to every detail. Granite counters, large work island with seating, Thermador gas cooktop, double oven, warming drawer, custom hood, Sub-Zero refrigerator, dishwasher, and ice machine as well as a serving island make this culinary space practical and functional. Custom Bespoke Smallbone cabinets www.smallbone.co.uk/kitchens/, handmade in England, were installed in the kitchen, butler's pantry, and utility room to maximize space and utility. The nearby butler's pantry includes ANOTHER Sub-Zero refrigerator, disposal, and a second dishwasher, a must for any catered affair. Friends and family can relax in the additional "keeping room" with custom Hartmann Forbes grassweave custom blinds while chatting with the cook du jour as cocktails and appetizers are prepared. The large dining table situated under custom lights and expansive windows is ideal for entertaining sizable crowds or serving buffet style. Take note of the floor-to-ceiling mirrors in the kitchen which add to the open feeling.
Retreat upstairs from either the family room or front staircase where you will find 4 additional generous bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Central Vac makes clean up a breeze. Two tankless hot water heaters ensure you won't run out of hot water even when you have company. With maximum insulation and a huge temperature-controlled storage space, owners have made this home both elegant and energy efficient.
Renowned landscape designer, Chip Callaway from Greensboro, designed the homeowner's favorite part of this lovely property...the grounds. Callaway has designed gardens from Nantucket to Palm Beach and even "across the pond". www.ourstate.com/chip-callaway/ Circular shapes abound in these private gardens; even the stepping stones are round. While outside, be sure to view the enormous round window of the family room with its custom details. Note the round pool, curved bath house with grill room, the arbors, and circular courtyard that could be used for games of croquet, badminton, or bocci. The avid golfer may even envision his/her own putting or chipping green. To the right lies the rose garden, with a cutting garden nearby. Almost out of view from the home, is a serviceable storage shed with plenty of space for storing small water craft and other outside paraphernalia.
Behind the house is a Kohler whole-house generator that kicks on in seconds if power is lost. Never worry about losing power again! Outside of the freshly painted 2-car garage, is a lighted basketball court for the enjoyment of kids and adults alike. Entertain friends for hours with games of one-on-one, horse, or around the world.
Reward a hard day's work with another dip in the pool; no closing time here. Then warm up in the sauna, enjoy a delicious meal prepared in the gourmet kitchen, and sit outside to gaze at the stars above. What a great way to cap off the day! This enchanting estate awaits its new owners.
