Property Description

A rare opportunity awaits you with this coveted, luxurious, executive estate situated at the end of a cul-de-sac on the best of Laingsburgs three lakes--Scenic Lake--with almost 700 ft of peninsular lake views. This single-owner, custom- built, light-filled, energy-efficient contemporary home on 2.2 acres was designed with both entertainment and privacy in mind. An unobtrusive tree-lined driveway takes you across a bridge entry to a rotunda drive to the homes lofted stone step grand entry. Wrought-iron railings lead to a hand-carved door. Awaiting beyond the tiled foyer is a great room with lofted ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and incomparable lake views. Two fireplaces flank the great room with tiled hearths, inviting options to enter separate wings. One wing offers steps to a powder room and access to the kitchen with endless countertops and cabinets, tiled floors, SS appliances, a gas stove, a double oven, and a coffee bar area or workspace. The kitchen half-oval island boasts a prep sink, bar counter, and more under counter storage. There is a relaxing family gathering area behind the kitchen fireplace connected to an eat-in breakfast area. This area continues the motif of oversized windows, and accesses a wrap-around deck, a screened-in gazebo, and a chance to peer over a sloping backyard, a lower deck area and perennial gardens cultivated over 30 years - while also offering a perfect space for overflow entertaining. Back inside, on the other side of the great room starts another wing of the home. Up a half flight of stairs from the great room is the oversized primary suite, complete with a marble terrazzo-tiled fireplace and a soaring chimney whose apex is a hexagonally-lofted ceiling with skylights. Behind this fireplace is an elevated jetted tub. Seagrass wall coverings complete the neutral and tasteful palate. This room also has access to a deck and a sky gazing separate bonus room. Taking a half-flight staircase down from the great room in the same wing, one is met by a bedroom and a laundry room, and then another half flight of stairs leads to a thoughtfully wide carpeted corridor with built-in bookshelves, a reading and music sitting area doubling as a library and two other bedrooms--both with walkout sliding doors to the backyard and a bonus room with an entire wall of windows, suitable as an office, guest room, workout center, or art studio. Hidden behind one of the hallway doors on this level is a full Swedish sauna with cedar benches. Each floor and half-floor level has bathrooms. Another half-floor staircase down leads to the garage area with ample room for 2 cars and additional storage/workshop areas and the utility room. The home is fitted with three furnaces for zoned-heating efficiency. The roofing is life-time guaranteed slate. The home has central air. The quality of construction and the care in maintenance of this home is nothing short of superb. The architectural vibe of open spaces leading to levels of cozy nooks replicate the peacefulness of the outdoors with its open lawn spaces and balcony expanses alternating with enfolding trees and peninsular shelter from the waters. Come let this property take your breath away!
