82 DIGS.NET | 11.15.2019 M A R K E T R E A L E S TAT E | 2 9 S T R A W B E R R Y L A N E e second level of the home is reached by a curving sweep of a staircase, made more splendid by a glittering chandelier and round ceiling, raised and glowing, that greets one at the top. (is staircase is housed in a turret covered with hand- cut stone, a process that took craftsman over 10 months.) On this floor one finds the atmosphere of a family home balanced with a well-tempered grandeur: ere are two cheerful bedroom suites, ideal for kids, that are steps away from a master wing that makes up much of this floor and includes dual walk-in closets, a marble bath suite and a serene, fireplaced library decked in sleek custom woodwork. e home's basement is an animated den of escape, aptly introduced by way of a curved stairwell lined with diamond-plated chrome metal. It's an industrial-meets-space age look that continues in the sprawling recreation area that feels like a nightclub, with polished concrete floors, an onyx bar and lots of seating. Next stop is one of the home's most flashy highlights: a commercial- grade theater complete with a widescreen projector screen and a sound system (Dolby Atmos) that moves around viewers in three-dimensional space. "is is the nicest home theater I've ever seen in a home," remarks Chhabria. "e owner is a technology and movie buff." Enter the property at Strawberry Lane and one enters a self-contained world of luxury and diversion. "ere's a different level of quality that went into the project," explains Chhabria. "From the floor plan to the engineering and quality of finishes—every detail is just perfect." e neat green lawn even extends all the way to nearby Strawberry Trail, and includes a fresh-air sports court, ideal for paddle tennis or basketball, plus a sunny guest house with many possibilities beyond housing visitors. e homeowner, for instance, used it weekly to host post-game dinners and card gatherings with friends. "e biggest selling point of this home is the overall package of what you're getting," Chhabria points out. "An extremely well-built home. A large home that's perfect for a family. And, you're getting an amazing value."
