Set in over an acre of the prestigious enclave of Old Hill. This one-of-a-kind home exudes a feel reminiscent of a Le Corbusier art nouveau midcentury artistic colonial with state-of-the-art updates. The unique blend of sculptural details and unconventional construction materials results in a striking interior that is a work of art in it’s own right. The mix of materials impart a warm and welcoming atmosphere to the space with an open floorplan that flows seamlessly from formal to casual living space. Boasting an impressive 5 en-suite bedrooms with a total of 6 full baths and 2 half baths, this custom home offers a wealth of space and luxury. From the moment you step into the front foyer, you'll be captivated by the sight of a sculptural metal and wood staircase that serves as both functional art and a centerpiece of the home's design. Open flow chef’s kitchen, dining, and formal living room are all steps away. Ascending the grand staircase leads you to an opulent mezzanine level, where your primary suite awaits. Lay in bed and enjoy the fire or enjoy the view outside the French doors that lead to a private balcony. The en-suite bathroom boasts a custom tub, providing a lavish spot for soaking while gazing at the pool and newly landscaped grounds. There is also another en-suite bedroom on this level with its own private balcony. Two additional en-suite bedrooms and a grand family room complete this part of the home. Adjacent to the family room, a spacious three-level cabana awaits, making it an ideal guest suite or teenager's haven. The lower level features a gym, while the upper level of the cabana rivals the comfort and charm of a boutique hotel. One of the home's most unique features is the custom fold-back doors that seamlessly merge the main living space with the pool area, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor flow. If you're seeking a home that's as intriguing as it is exceptional, look no further. Schedule an appointment with your agent to experience the allure and distinctive charm of this captivating residence.
