This one-of-a-kind craftsman style home was built in 2006 by the renowned architect Phillip D. Kunz and featured in architectural books and magazines. It was crafted from a curated selection of natural materials that articulate the structure both inside and out. From the walking path to the front door and throughout the entire home, the materials chosen reflect the serenity and oneness with nature. The immediate views when entering are awe-inspiring and like no other. The interior of the home features a contiguous open living area with an expansive cathedral ceiling that encompasses the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The living area is detailed throughout with American cherry, steel and copper collar ties with integrated ceiling fans overhead, and low voltage cable lighting chasing across the space. A free standing bar with wine cooler, granite countertop, sink, and seating is perfect for entertaining. The intimate dining area is delineated by a suspended custom-made lattice and lighting element constructed of American cherry and copper as well as slate flooring. The kitchen has exposed beams from which maple cabinets are suspended using stainless steel panels and lighting that is height adjustable. In addition, top of the line appliances, including a 6 burner gas Viking cook top and dedicated wok station, make this dream gourmet kitchen. Adjacent to the dining area is an additional family room defined by a step up as well as a custom American cherry cabinet that houses the media equipment hidden behind a series of doors in a chasing pattern. The media cabinet transitions at the ceiling by way of willow branch panels that create a veil of light. The gas fireplace hearth is comprised of two massive pieces of Pennsylvania blue stone with a thermal finish and the surround is made up of individual pieces of pin mounted slate. This elevated family room opens to the home office which is flanked by two sets of corner windows, providing for a tranquil work space and closes with double sliding doors. In 2014, Kunz designed an addition which houses 3 ample sized sunshine filled bedrooms, each with custom outfitted walk-in closets, and are connected by a hallway flanked by closets on either side. There is a hall bathroom with double sinks, a tub, and walk-in shower. The inground indoor endless heated exercise pool was completely renovated in 2022. A powder room, main floor laundry and oversized 3 car garage complete the main floor. Climb the exquisite open staircase to the second floor which boasts the owner's suite featuring a center cut cedar ceiling, slate clad fireplace with unique copper flue and a balcony overlooking the main floor living space with double sliding doors. The en-suite bathroom was renovated in 2018 and offers 2 sinks, a double shower with Hansgrohe fixtures, and a separate room with a toilet, bidet, and additional sink. There is an incredible and spacious walk- through closet beautifully outfitted with built-ins and unique features. Some additional noteworthy features include: the flooring throughout is composed of slate from India and textured broadloom carpet bordered by carbonized bamboo. The interior doors are solid core cherry; some are pocket doors with rice paper panels to enhance the lighting. The interior pallets of material - stone, copper and cedar - are carried from the homes interior to the exterior. There is a brand new roof. There is also an expansive deck ideal for entertaining. The deck also showcases a hot tub and is flanked by large boulders and mature landscaping for optimal privacy. The home is tucked away on a 1+ acre lot on a cul-de-sac street. An appraiser's measurements confirm that the home is 5146 above grade finished square feet. This home feels like living in your own private Frank Lloyd Wright inspired resort and with the heated pool, hot tub and 1+ acre of privacy, it offers perfect serenity while being minutes to the turnpike, shopping, schools and all major routes.
