describing the ideal target: "They like to
entertain and want an elegant home, but
they also want a comfortable home that can
withstand the rigors of family life."
The ground floor is where you can enter-
tain in the great room with white oak floors
and an elegant dining area, decked with
custom woodwork and a glowing tray ceil-
ing. "What they accomplished, which is what
everybody's looking for nowadays, is that
great-room effect," the agent says of this
airy, peaceful space. "The living room and
dining room almost feel like they are one."
It's a nicely separate area from what is
likely the daily hub of the house: A sizable
kitchen and family room combination that
merges with the outdoors. The details here
give the home distinction: The entire ceil-
ing is raised and coffered in a white grid
pattern, bringing texture and a heightened
sense of refinement to this everyday space.
Geometric pendant lights cast a glow over
the softly veined quartzite island. High-end
appliances are tucked away and minimalist,
and in a warm departure from pure white,
cabinets and built-ins are crafted in honey
hued, grain-patterned walnut and oak wood.
ROOMS OF DISTINCTION
Sleeping spaces are nicely gathered upstairs,
with the exception of a one-bedroom suite
downstairs that's ideal for staff or guests.
The primary bedroom suite is outfitted with
a balcony and a massive walk-in closet, lined
with mirrors. The luxe bathroom retreat,
decked in gleaming stonework, invites you
to decompress in the walk-in shower and
soaking tub. True to its architectural stock,
no bedroom suite is an afterthought. "Each
of the bedrooms is different, and has a
treatment on the wall which gives it its own
charm and character," describes Richardson.
Rooms are bright and roomy, while bath-
rooms are elegant and distinct, with unique
designer tile schemes and walk-in showers.
The of-the-moment design extends to
its tech and infrastructure. There's a fully
automated Lutron home system ready to
be customized for everything from sound
and lights to temperature, video and secu-
rity. There's also ample space for storage and
parking, whether in the three-car garage or
driveway, which can fit another two vehi-
cles."The finishes and amenities are on the
leading edge of new trends coming down in
the next few years," says the agent, summing
up the house, "and the workmanship and
custom features that they have included are
a cut above what's out there right now." Such
are the thoughtful perks of a property created
to satisfy our modern desire for beauty and
utility, now and in the coming years.
