Welcome to this lifestyle home designed for family and entertaining that is situated on almost 2 acres of specimen plantings. Entering at the upper circular driveway, one sees a grand stucco, stone and glass house. On the grounds are an outdoor pool and two gazebos one of which has a full kitchen and gas grill for outdoor use and entertaining. Part of this house was built in 1928 as the carriage house to the Dannenbaum estate, all stone. Added to this is a wraparound contemporary addition designed by a noted architect, Irwin Stein. This section of the house includes an indoor pool area that has its own kitchen, changing area and full bath. The indoor pool area opens to a gracious brick patio with a built-in gas barbecue and serving ledge. A home that truly showcases nature with floor to ceiling glass windows throughout the back. The travertine entrance foyer leads into a sunken living room with fireplace. A dining room with built-ins, hardwood floors and accommodates up to 25 seated for dinner, a rounded kitchen with an eat-in area for 8 that connects to a family room with fireplace. The bedroom wing includes 2 large bedrooms with built-in closets, a full bath, laundry room, utility closet, side door entrance and library that can be converted to another bedroom, plus a master suite. The master suite has his and her dressing rooms, 1-1/2 baths, walk in closets, and a bathroom with windows that make the Jacuzzi bath seem like it is outside. From the Master Bath a staircase leads to the ground level with an exercise room, powder room, an area to be used for office or other, and a four car heated garage. Also from the Master Bedroom, doors lead to the indoor pool area. This house features lots of built-ins, vaulted ceilings and plenty of storage. A summer retreat and a winter fantasy. A must see.
