What's special
Thoughtfully designed estate home in North Star Chase with 5 bedrooms and 6.1 baths. Traditional colonial stylings with modern floor plan that allows for comfortable day to day living, yet transforms seamlessly into the perfect home for entertaining any size of gathering. The current owner added many custom details during construction of the home from the wrought iron that graces the front sundial garden and is carried through to the spindles of the graceful, curving staircase to the spectacularly finished walk out lower level that opens to a well appointed outdoor living area highlighted by stone walls and walkways which includes a in-ground pool, patio with fire pit, and Trex deck. All with magnificent views of the rolling hills of the Pike Creek valley. The gracious two story foyer leads to the formal living room and dining room featuring Scalamadre wallpaper and bar area. The family room with hand scraped hardwood flooring, stone gas fireplace and walls with custom faux paint that replicates the warmth of Tuscan plaster. Two sets of French doors allow for natural light to fill the space and lead to the huge Trex deck. Gourmet kitchen shines bright with chandeliers illuminating the room designed for friends and family to gather. Features include a 2nd stone gas fireplace, room for large dining table, seating for 4 at the island, granite counters, abundant cabinetry, spacious pantry and stainless appliances. Working from home is a treat with a custom mural of Pebble Beach golf course and stunning views of the valley. Main floor is rounded out by a sunroom, laundry room, and powder room. Upstairs you will find the primary bedroom suite with generous sized bedroom, sitting room, private bath, and two walk-in closets. The second floor has four additional bedrooms each with their own private ensuite bath. The attention to detail in design continues in the exceptional finished lower level with Billard's area that has barn doors concealing storage shelving, recreation area with well equipped kitchen, sitting room with doors that lead to patio with firepit, and exercise room with fan extraction system. A truly remarkable home that has been featured in two magazines for its design elements.
