Meticulously curated from top to bottom, this artful, contemporary West of Trail residence showcases remarkable architectural details, refined finishes, expansive open spaces and exquisite finishes. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac near downtown, the two-level 3,987-square-foot home’s distinctive exterior – light stacked stone with medium-toned wood and two large fire bowls flanking the entry – sets the tone for the sleek all-white main living areas. A grand foyer greets visitors with an impressive ceiling with and groove wood ceiling supported with steel beams and 24-by-24-inch white porcelain high gloss tile that effortlessly flows into the magnificent great room, featuring a 24-foot ceiling, a trio of dazzling chandeliers, enormous white stone wall with a gas fireplace and clerestory windows. Pocketing glass sliders transition to the private patio and backyard, surrounded by lush tropical foliage, providing privacy and plenty of room for entertaining with covered and open spaces, a large pool and a spectacular waterfall flanked by fire bowls. Adjacent to the great room, the dining area and kitchen share the same crisp white-on-white color scheme, including European laminate and tempered glass cabinets with above and below lighting, display shelves, quartz countertops and backsplash, striking Artichoke pendant lights and a breakfast bar with wood paneling below the counter. The nearby primary retreat shines with high-gloss 24-by-24-inch porcelain tile with medium-toned Nuvelle bamboo inlay, custom built walk-in closet and pocketing sliders to the patio and pool. The elegant master bathroom features a crystal chandelier and vanity sconces, porcelain tile flooring, 12-by-24-inch rectangular wall tiles and Carrara marble mosaic accent tile that cascades down the center of the shower wall and across the shower floor, plus separate vanities with marble counters. From the great room, a beautiful floating wood staircase, with a waterfall chandelier above, leads to the second level’s flexible space, overlooking the great room. There also is a second master suite with wood flooring, a large walk-in closet and en-suite bath with dual vanities and a walk-in steam shower, plus two additional bedrooms with wood flooring that share a full bath. The second floor also boasts a generously sized fitness room with a sizable window overlooking the great room. Other highlights of this one-of-a-kind residence include an office and powder bath off the foyer, spacious laundry room with storage and two separate garages on either side of the front entry.
