Country OasisThrough the gates and over a stone bridge, a winding driveway leads to this stunning home surrounded by pristine gardens and landscaping. Built in 1995, it was designed to be a contemporary version of a classic prairie-style home featuring modern amenities within a solid structure showcasing quality craftsmanship. An exceptional estate, this home has 9,100 square feet of living and entertainment space. It's the perfect venue for both casual family gatherings and more formal occasions. The foyer features cherry wood floors and open staircase to the upper level. Access to the west wing of the house, featuring the master suite, is accommodated through the foyer. The cherry-paneled library with built-in bookcases and coffered ceiling provides privacy and a comfortable workspace. The large master bath features Venetian plaster treatment, heated marble floor, marble shower stall and whirlpool tub surround, double vanities and his-and-hers walk-in closets. The spacious master bedroom features a comfortable sitting area and additional his-and hers walk-in closets. French doors lead to a private patio and garden. The upper level includes four additional bedrooms and two full baths with generous views of the grounds. The grand living room is the physical center of this home and offers breathtaking views of the backyard through two-story transom windows. While seasonal views continue to captivate, the two-story custom-built fieldstone fireplace truly stands out as one of the most dramatic design elements in the room. A hand-carved cherry mantle custom-made in California completes the ambiance. Barreled ceilings are featured again in the living and dining rooms. The maple and cherry flooring is included in both rooms, as well as several built-in cherry cabinets. Cherry paneling in the dining room includes a hidden door with access to the butler's pantry and wet bar that leads into the kitchen. A large laundry room, small office and powder room complete the main level and connect to a two-car attached garage. A detached, two-car garage is also included on the property. The finished lower level offers outstanding options for all ages. In 2005, more than 3,000 square feet of carpeted living space was added and includes beautiful millwork and custom-built maple cabinets with cherry trim in the full kitchen with bar. It also includes a pool table, game room, sportsman room, exercise room, full bathroom and over 800 square feet of unfinished space is used as a storage room. The most amazing feature of the lower level is the state-of-the art theatre room. This room includes tiered seating with eight large recliners and custom-designed and lighted maple cabinets in which to store an extensive movie library, as well as equipment. |
