Every once in a while a property comes on the market that is absolutely exquisite in both detail and design. This spectacular two-story brick custom single family home (attached) offers 3,300+ sq. ft. of marble, granite, travertine, hardwood floors, marble gas fireplaces, courtyard fountains, 16’ ceilings, custom built-ins, top-of-the line stainless steel appliances, skylights, custom moldings and walls of glass that must be seen to be truly appreciated. Built in 1994, the kitchen/family rooms were remodeled in 2002 and the powder room was remodeled in 2005.

As you step into the foyer, the sunken formal living room is to your right and the formal dining room is to your left. The formal living room features hardwood floors, a 16’ ceiling, 10’ floor-to-ceiling palladium windows, triple custom moldings, a marble gas fireplace, hand-crafted bookcases and a wet bar including sink and ice maker. Up one step, the hardwood floors extend into a spacious formal dining room which is bordered by 7’ windows that overlook two of the lighted lion-faced courtyard fountains and a classic grand staircase (on the right side) that leads to the second story.

The Great Room offers a wall of 7’ windows and 10’ ceilings and is comprised of an expansive gourmet kitchen, informal dining area, breakfast bar area and family room. The gourmet kitchen features polished marble floors, expansive granite countertops with travertine accented backsplashes, 42� custom cabinets with fluted corners and crown molding, Kitchenaid stainless steel appliances (including two ovens) and a large island station complete with flush-top stove and retractable exhaust vent, built-in cabinets and a 60-bottle wine refrigerator. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large walk-in butler pantry with built-in shelves and storage. The informal dining area is a delight to behold as it too is surrounded by a wall of windows that overlook the home’s private courtyard. Moving beyond the informal dining area and gourmet kitchen, one enters the family room. The family room features a 2nd marble gas fireplace, a custom built-in entertainment center and a wall of 8’ windows that overlook a 4’ lion-faced fountain.
