Inspired by the refined grace of Mizner-influenced design, the home embodies a level of quality and execution seldom found in the surrounding market. Every detail has been meticulously considered, every finish deliberately selected, and only the most skilled, top-tier artisans and contractors were entrusted in its creation, resulting in a standard of construction that is truly without equal in the area. From the moment of arrival, the experience is both grand and inviting. A dramatic foyer with soaring 20-foot ceilings introduces artisan ceiling treatments, intricate crown moldings, and radiant heated marble floors that extend throughout the entry and hallways, setting the tone for interiors that are as thoughtful as they are impressive. Expansive windows flood the main level with natural light, illuminating gallery-like walls perfectly suited for art collectors and connoisseurs. The formal living and dining rooms offer elegant settings for both intimate moments and refined entertaining, while the soaring family room, anchored by a custom-carved marble fireplace, balances grandeur with warmth. The kitchen is a masterclass in both design and function, featuring exquisite birds-eye maple cabinetry, professional-grade appliances, and beautifully integrated spaces for gathering and entertaining. A sunlit breakfast area opens seamlessly to a deck overlooking a preserved bird sanctuary, offering a tranquil backdrop for everyday living. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary of comfort and sophistication, complete with bespoke detailing, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired marble bath with heated floors and luxurious finishes throughout. Upstairs, well-appointed guest accommodations offer comfort and privacy, while the expansive, walkout lower level presents a fully realized extension of the home, featuring an in-law suite, office, fitness room, and direct access to the grounds, with ample space to envision a future pool. Impeccably maintained and thoughtfully equipped with multi-zone climate control, radiant heat, integrated sound, and numerous high-performance systems, the home ensures effortless living at every turn.
