European

This luxurious custom European-style brick estate home delights with its old-world charm and exquisite detailing. Sitting in a prominent location in the exclusive, sought-after Governor's Towne Club gated golf course community, the unique cobblestoned drive hints at the fine appointments within. Though newer construction, this beauty is filled with a curated collection of architectural items gathered from around the globe creating a timeless elegance that can take generations to achieve. The sweeping grand staircase in the light-filled foyer beckons visitors to experience the gracious rooms within, perfect for both formal entertaining and casual get-togethers. A gleaming wood-floor-to-ceiling paneled formal study compete with fireplace and built-in bookshelves and a dramatic open banquet dining room flank the foyer. Just ahead, a two-story great room with floor to ceiling windows, a perfect backdrop for the grand piano, and coffered ceilings is so pretty you may never want to leave. The keeping room features a spacious kitchen with butler's pantry and a large breakfast bar; it is open to the breakfast nook and vaulted gathering space with cozy stone fireplace. An expansive covered dining porch with glorious views of the wooded backyard throughout adjoins the keeping room, just one of three covered outdoor spaces. Escape to the master suite on the main to enjoy the fireplace and sitting room, sumptuous master bath and generous walk-in closet. Venture upstairs to catch a much-loved movie in the cozy home theater. A large upstairs loft space is currently envisioned as a library/home office, while each of the four over-sized upstairs junior suites features a marbled private bath and large walk-in closet. And last, but definitely not least, do not miss the terrace level which is every bit as amazing as the abode above, spacious, light & airy but still maintaining that European feel. And no wonder-the carved walnut doors to the wine vault and the back bar are French antiques! The terrace level seating area is centered on one of the seven fireplaces on the estate. A gym and a steam shower with speakers complete the terrace level, creating a wellness center at home to restore and rejuvenate you. Two large unfinished spaces provide square footage for you to build out to make this space yours. Seller is a licensed agent and is co-agent on this listing.
