Imagine coming home & saying, "WOW - I live here!" Do you deserve this opulence? Come see this & then decide! Must see supplement, photos & VT - nothing better at any price! More than a home - it's a lifestyle! Pass by the stunning fountains on Renaissance Ave and enter through the stately North Gate. The home is located toward the rear of the complex allowing for privacy and quiet. Bougainvillea frames the entry into this Shangri-La. Those who pass through the wrought iron gate are greeted by the pleasing garden as they meander through the professionally landscaped courtyard and approach. You'll reach the regal entry - now visitors are faced with a dilema - Where to explore first? This will be up to one's taste & desires... Start your exploration across the expanse of imported Italian porcelain tile. If you're a chef or entertainer you'll gravitate through the living room/dining room combo toward the vast space of the gourmet kitchen and the Thermidor 6 burner stove. The kitchen offers custom counters & island, sizeable pot & utensil rack, and even a breakfast bar! It's all open to the breakfast area & family room with cozy fireplace with french doors to the patio offering indoor/outdoor living. Be sure to check out the stainless steel BBQ! Or perhaps upon entry you'll want to go right up the spiral staircase of polished Brazilian hardwood with striking railing and see a master suite that rivals any offered anywhere. The fireplace adds romance and ambiance to this private retreat, and the bath offers a tub sized for two along with his & hers counters & sinks. The spacious walk-in closet has organizers and dressing table. Other bedrooms offer custom Ralph Lauren stencil work. Don't forget to look up in the hall bath and take in the hand painted detail on the ceiling - this home offers so many unique touches & finishes - almost living in a museum or art gallery, but with a warm and inviting austere charm. Most rooms offer crown molding with a stately silver leaf finish. The walls downstairs offer a 'canvas undercoat' texture and glaze creating depth - must see. Windows are accented by Nettle Creek silk treatments, and the living areas are illuminated by custom lighting. Laundry room too! Take a few minutes to walk the babbling brook or over the bridge - don't feel like cooking? The center over the arch offers numerous options for cuisine. Parks & fields & rec center are around the corner off Shoreline. We could tell you more here, but you must come see this one for yourself!
