Under contract-accepting backup offers. Step into style and serenity in the stunning Robert Taylor architect designed contemporary home, set on a beautifully landscaped 2 acre lot. Far from cookie-cutter, this unique residence offers a blend of bold design, natural light, and custom architectural elements that will elevate your everyday life style. As you approach the residence, lushly landscaped front grounds offer incredible curb appeal and a warm welcome and features a fully paved circular drive and water feature area. Stepping through the front doors, soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams are laced with king and queen post trusses and run the length of the main level though the formal living room, formal dining room, family room, and kitchen. This architectural detail creates an open airy feel, perfectly complementing the home’s thoughtful layout and is beyond impressive. Formal and informal living spaces feature wood floors and flow seamlessly, offering the flexibility for both entertaining and quiet retreat. The formal living room and family room boast newer Anderson sliders which open to an expansive screened deck area that mirrors the same cathedral beamed ceiling as the interior. This area is a true outdoor living room, a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, evening wine, or gatherings and overlooks the private wooded surroundings which includes lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, and calamondin orange fruit trees. The family room features a wood burning fireplace with built-ins on either side, and a walk around granite clad bar area with under counter wine frig. The kitchen features wood cabinets, granite counters, a convenient island, stainless appliances including a Jenn-Air gas cooktop and double ovens, and large pantry. A spacious breakfast room surrounded by windows is adjacent to the kitchen and features a door to a side deck, the perfect spot for grilling. At the opposite end of the main level is a spacious office with wood floors and closet, a convenient half bath for visiting guests, and the owner’s suite. The owner’s suite features wood floors and Anderson sliders to a private covered wood deck. The owner’s bath has an L shaped granite clad vanity with two sinks and a second area with an over-sized glass enclosed shower on all sides, a private courtyard beyond the glass ensures a secluded retreat. The lower level of the home, accessible from a winding wood staircase, features three over-sized guest rooms and hall tub bath with newer granite vanity. Completing the picture is a large laundry with washer, dryer, built-in sink, and planning desk which opens to a side entry two car garage.
