About This Home

As of October 2024

Luxury living is found nestled amongst the mature trees on this double lot in the Arlington Knolls community. Quiet and understated architecture combines solid cedar construction with custom stonework to welcome You home. From the moment you walk into the 2-story foyer, you are surrounded by custom millwork, luxury finishes, and thoughtfully integrated design features. The main floor offers 12' ceilings while providing warm and inviting living areas. Holidays and family gatherings will be spent in the 32' x 31' chef's kitchen, gathered around the custom island while the smells of fresh baked goods escape from the double ovens. Luxury Wolf appliances are tastefully integrated into the cabinetry with ample storage provided by the walk-in and separate Butler's pantries. Enjoy a relaxing family dinner in the kitchen or a formal dinner party in the separate dining room. The sounds of laughter can be heard coming from the indoor swimming pool house featuring a heated pool and separate hot tub, as well as, from the custom designed Field House that offers a basketball court with working scoreboard, volleyball net, or room for your indoor golf simulator. Natural light shines through the dormered ceiling and expansive windows while the exposed timbers provide the feeling of a classic basketball gymnasium. As you climb the circular staircase under the custom designed rotunda, you enter the 2nd floor featuring 5 bedrooms. Each bedroom offers an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet, while the master suite features a gas fireplace and custom coffered ceiling. The master bathroom provides separate his and her vanities, walk-in shower with multiple body sprays and marble seat, a separate whirlpool tub, and the walk-through master closet features separate dressing areas for both spouses. The first-floor office provides the perfect work from home scenario or can be used as a bedroom suite with closet and ensuite full bathroom. Custom hickory hardwood flooring runs throughout the first and second floor. The fully finished basement offers the perfect in-law arrangement with 9 ft ceilings, a second kitchen, and additional bedroom and full bathroom. Reenergize your mind and body in the workout room, relax in front of the TV in your custom recliner sofa, or engage in a competitive game of pool in the billiard room. Smart integrations include separate laundry rooms on the main and second floor, two separate 2-car garages, and multiple zoned HVAC and hot water systems. Radiant heat has been thoughtfully integrated into the pool house flooring, basement flooring, and garage flooring. Public water and sewer supply the inside of your home, while a private well has been integrated into the exterior landscape watering system, meaning no water bill to keep your lawn green in the summer! Rest easy at night without concern for power outages as the back-up generator watches over you. Start building memories for generations to come in this thoughtfully designed and incredibly built home.
