Brilliant architecture by
David Small Designs is brought to life by the renowned craftsmanship of
Covington Estates in this enchanting, newly built custom residence. The natural beauty of the outdoors is seamlessly fused with the clean lines and chic design of the interior through soaring and plentiful 2-storey windows. Complementary finishes flow from the indoors out, and back again. The glass balustrade and stainless steel handrails of the floating staircase continue outside to envelope the rear terraces, while the natural beauty of the exterior wallstone is brought in to create warm, textured feature walls.
Kitchens and baths are defined by mod cabinetry by Scavolini, including Diesel Drip metal uppers in the kitchen and floating bathroom vanities with integrated glass sinks and undermount LED lighting. A soaring, 21' book matched marble fireplace creates an impressive focal point in the heart of the home. Glass walls, sliding barn doors and dramatic light fixtures create a distinctive interior style. 10' ceilings grace all levels.
The fully finished lower level adds 3,903 sq. ft. of living space, incorporating a fifth bedroom/nanny suite, gym, wine cellar, theatre and expansive wet bar. This level is warmed by radiant hot water heated floors and brightened by a walk-out to a generous stone terrace accented with gardens.
Outside, extensive landscaping and hardscaping complete the package. The gunite, saltwater pool features a waterfall flanked by 2 gas firebowls and is complemented by a beautifully finished cabana with wet bar. Landscape lighting and greenery abounds. Lush trees provide ample privacy. The heated, 3-car garage is nicely finished and provides plenty of cabinetry for your storage needs.
A passenger elevator services all levels. Home automation by Lutron conveniently controls lights, ambient temperature and window coverings.
