About This Home
As of December 2020Enjoy magnificent panoramic views that stretch beyond the Blue Mountains from this one-of-a-kind modern masterpiece. Setback a meandering drive and nestled on a hilltop of 75 private acres, this custom-built home offers an architecturally unique design that maximizes views from its privileged setting with walls of glass on both levels. The integration of indoor and outdoor spaces along with the staggered design provides amazing views from every room, terrace and patio area. Its eclectic interior is grand in scale, yet intimate spaces tucked away, making it perfect for entertaining and family living. A superb offering for the buyer seeking privacy, modern design elements, quality construction and finishes. The home offers an open floor plan and amazing flexibility within the current layout due to a masterfully engineered steel i-beam skeletal system with no interior load bearing walls. Enter the home into a marble foyer with a 2-story architectural column with a water feature that is framed by a dramatic sweeping double staircase. You will be immediately drawn into the expansive living room with floor to ceiling glass walls with mesmerizing views. The living room view of the column offers a fireplace and decorative niche. The living room flows into a formal dining room that includes an upper level tier for the 'kids table' at holidays. Continue to the sleek island kitchen with beautiful custom cherry cabinets, a walk-in pantry and a catering kitchen with laundry that can be accessed from the oversized 2-car attached garage, located just across from the 6-car detached garage.

The first floor of the main house also offers a powder room and a full bathroom, a family room with media built-ins and lounge with a wet bar. Continue into the amazing, resort-style indoor pool and entertainment area, located between the main house and guest house. The pool is complete with a rope swing, kiddie splash pool, hot tub and a diving board. There is a kitchenette/bar area and two full bathrooms that serve as 'his and hers' changing rooms. Guests can enjoy a privately situated 2 bedroom suite with a living room, kitchenette & full bathroom. Located just off the pool is a solarium with lounge areas and a sauna. Sliding doors from the solarium lead to additional outdoor patio & picnic pavilion area with two 20'x 40' pavilions. Back in the main house, tucked away on the lower level includes a rathskeller with a gas-fired fondue table, a billiards room and wine cellar. A curved double staircase takes you to the second level 'fly bridge' overlooking the living room and more spectacular views with another expansive outdoor terrace. The south wing of the upper level includes a spacious master suite overlooking the indoor pool, a walk-in closet and dressing area, a master bathroom with walk-in shower, jacuzzi, double vanity and a make-up area. The suite accesses a sunroom sitting area that is a fantastic space to enjoy all seasons.
