a harmonious blend of elegance and modern comfort
Nestled in the prestigious Hillside, this luxurious four bedroom residence boasts a harmonious blend of elegance and modern comfort. Just off Plateau Road at the end of a long, quiet, paver driveway, this 1.14-acre property achieves the impossible; it's simultaneously close to several beautiful hikes, fantastic dining and shopping, and yet incredibly safe and private since it cannot be seen from the road. Two offices make WFH an easy choice, in addition to four air conditioning/heating units with nest thermostats. A grand, sun-filled formal entry leads to a dramatic, impressive, and inviting floorplan with the living, dining, and family rooms all seamlessly flowing together in perfect unison and opening directly to the backyard. The expansive patio serves as a captivating centerpiece, offering panoramic views of the lush, rolling landscape and cityscape beyond. With total privacy, large grassy yard areas, a vegetable garden, spacious terraces with multiple seating areas, and an entertainer's BBQ bar and Mugnaini wood-fire oven imported from Italy that makes a wonderful backdrop for parties. The property features a sparkling pool and a rejuvenating jacuzzi, perfect for unwinding under the summer sun or the starlit sky. The outdoor space seamlessly extends into the meticulously landscaped grounds, creating a private oasis that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The marvelous chef's kitchen hosts memorable meal preparation, and serves as the heartbeat of this warm and lovely home with gas oven/range, deep sink, abundant counter and cabinet space, plus a fabulous walk-in pantry with custom copper door. The distinctly vintage brick flooring, the polished red oak flooring, and exclusive designer touches boldly announce that this is a compellingly unique and artistic home. Cozy fireplaces anchor the family and living rooms. Chic wine bar with 266 bottle wine enclosure is a cozy nook in the main living space. The formal dining room surrounded by gracious spaces overlooks the sparkling pool and lush landscaping. The primary suite is a remarkable retreat overlooking stunning views with a remodeled bathroom, two walk-in closets in addition to two standard closets, spacious bedroom with sitting area, and a large adjacent room for an office or gym.
