About This Home
As of December 2023Nestled on a sprawling 10-acre waterfront estate, with a total over 9,000+ square feet, this awe-inspiring home is a celebration of timeless elegance and modern refinement. The home was meticulously renovated and refined by the owner & nationally known designer, Kate Marker, and features 6 bedrooms, 5.2 bathrooms, garage space for 7 cars, a 1000 square foot coach house, commanding curb appeal, stunning pool plus vistas overlooking Flint Creek, nature and breathtaking sunsets throughout the seasons! Inside, the vestibule entry and foyer set the stage for a magnificent blend of fresh modern design elements, original plaster and wood moldings, reclaimed wood and stone flooring, custom layer lighting, Dutch doors and wide flowing rooms flooded with natural light. The craftsmanship extends to the heart of the home, where a gourmet chef's kitchen including an ILVE Italian range and dual Sub-Zero refrigerators await. Additional features include a built-in coffee station, island, marble & soapstone counters, walk-in pantry, separate prep areas, custom cabinetry with unique storage features and herringbone wood flooring. The European-style breakfast room overlooking the pool and yard completes this amazing kitchen while the back staircase offers a quick route to the upper level. The family / hearth room is located conveniently off of the kitchen and features a magnificent wood-burning river rock fireplace flanked by handcrafted built-in shelving and a beamed ceiling. Just off the family room, indulge in the mud room with its custom built-in lockers and ultimate organization & storage options, heated brick floors plus easy access to the vegetable garden and garage. The inviting dining and living rooms and a sun room flow with ease and offer architectural elements, character, and those views! The upper level includes a total of 5 bedrooms (three are ensuite) and 4 bathrooms. A 6th ensuite bedroom resides on the main level and could be the perfect WFH office space. A grand entrance with double doors and exposed brick walls leads you into the primary suite retreat with spa-like ambience, luxurious bathroom, custom built walk-in closets, wardrobes and bedroom with exposed rafter beam ceiling and plenty of windows bringing in the morning light and magnificent views. The lower level delivers an expansive rec room and more! The new outdoor oasis is an entertainer's dream, complete with heated 20' x 42' saltwater pool, separate hot tub with pergola, herringbone fire rock patio with space for dining and lounging, as well as a fire pit area steps below the pool.
