A dynamite ranch retreat...follow the way down the long & private drive set off Hibbard Road that only takes a split second to miss...and arrive at one of the North Shore's most well-kept secrets set on 1.33 acres of maturely landscaped grounds accented with oversized pool that overlooks an epic statue by the late artist (Dec '23) Richard Hunt commissioned by the owners of this custom estate. From the moment you pull up into the red cobblestone motor court you know you have arrived somewhere different. This commercial level custom build with soaring ceilings throughout was originally slated as Woodley Road home tells a story of elegance, artistry, and celebration. Interiors all designed by the legendary Richard Himmel, this home exudes an undeniable sense of magic in every room. Entering through the formal reception hallway, the marble floors glisten beneath Parisian antique lantern, while mirrored & upholstered fabric walls add a regal touch. A separate wing off the foyer hosts a massive primary suite with 2 dressing rooms, serene sitting lounge with a private patio, and bedroom with soaring ceilings & FP making this the highlight of easy one floor living. Formally appointed living room with the richness of parquet Versailles hardwood floors, French marble fireplace, incredible triple layered butternut millwork outline the quality of detail throughout the entire home. Off the living room, a private office with grass-cloth walls & custom cabinetry overlooks the lush backyard & private patio. A fab screened-in "Palm Beach" inspired lanai with light stained wood-beamed ceilings transports you into a world of serene relaxation. At the heart of the home, a dramatic double atrium great room, with glazed brick floors, soaring cathedral beamed ceilings, and a grand fireplace flanked by custom bookshelves come together to create an ambiance both impressive & inviting. Anchored by a cascading wrought iron staircase, this space is designed for pure entertainment with two separate sitting areas & vintage wet bar. The great room flows into elegant dining room where exquisite hand-painted walls showcases a one-of-a-kind mural. In the elongated chefs kitchen, ideal for cooking & entertainment you'll find a long butcher block island and generous cabinet space-ready to be transformed into a modern chef's dream with a touch of updating. A sun drenched breakfast area, illuminated by a skylight, provides access to the new back patio and grilling station, perfect for alfresco dining. On the second level, the home's design continues to impress with four unique bedrooms, each its own private sanctuary with no shared walls. Two bedrooms feature ensuite baths, while the others share a Jack & Jill and tandem room with built-in bunks. Overlooking the great room, the second floor is drenched in natural light that filters up from below, adding a sense of openness & expanded space. The unfinished lower level offers ample storage, along with two dressing rooms with showers for pool days, easily accessed via the basement backdoor. 54 Hibbard was built to stand the test of time and the superior custom details make it impossible to duplicate this level of quality woven throughout all spaces.
