To Crown It All

Type
Residential

Description
Imagine meandering up a curved, tree-lined drive and glimpsing a contemporary ranch home whose roofline seems to be one with the trees. This extensive and complex design is crowned with a variety of mono pitched angles, providing loads of visual interest, as well as structural functionality. Beveled edges on the metal roofs, decorative steel accents, a neutral color scheme, and an eye for subtle details all complement the overarching minimalist theme. Soaring vertical lines of the home also lend credence to the sensation of living amid a woodland retreat. Oversized windows and doors, including an impressive 14-foot-tall entry door, a sprawling open-concept floor plan, and expansive outdoor spaces are all components that inspire feelings of boundless possibility.

Details
The primary wing, with its spa-like setting beckons homeowners to wrap themselves in restful relaxation. A sumptuous sleeping space, refreshing beverage center, cavernous closet dressing room, ensuite bathroom, and private covered deck complete with hot tub may make it hard to leave if not for the rest of the home’s alluring amenities. A chef’s kitchen and plenty of indoor and outdoor living spaces provide multiple options for personal enjoyment and entertaining guests.

Details
The finished lower level hosts a large recreation room, exercise room, wine room, office, and space with potential for future growth. It also discreetly transforms the perceived look of a single-story design on the street level to a two-level elevation on the east side. A walkout, accessible from the fitness room, opens to rolling green spaces with endless possibilities for backyard fun — bocce ball or horseshoes, anyone? A linear covered patio in the back of the house, designed as an extension of indoor spaces, includes an outdoor kitchen, seating area, and fire pit. The patio also embraces an in-ground pool and surrounding pool deck. Pocket multi-fold doors provide the opportunity to join the four seasons room and dining area with the patio resulting in the seamless transition between the natural world and the interior, blurring the line between outside and in.
