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 beautiful Booze Creek Stream Valley Park, a conservation area. The inviting circular driveway provides easy access to the almost 6,000 sq ft main level living area and over 3,000 sq ft lower walk-out level. 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 vaulted ceiling, oak beams, a gas fireplace, a formal dining room with coffered oak ceiling that says dinner party, a butler’s pantry, large walk-in pantry, and mudroom. 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 oak-beamed 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 bedroom suites. The primary suite is a dream come true with the very personal connection to the outdoor spaces and exceptional design and light coming from three sides. It includes a large deck off the primary suite overlooking the property. There are dual walk-in closets with custom built-ins. The master bath is beautiful in every detail, dressing table, dual vanities, soaking tub with amazing views, large steam shower, privacy closet, and four-person sauna.
