In the Claremont Hills is a lavish, sophisticated and modern home. A waterfall fountain greets you as you arrive and the large courtyard is ideal for enjoying a favorite book. Once inside, the floor-plan is striking with clean architectural lines and designer living spaces. A dramatic living room features an artistic stone slab surrounding the gas fireplace. Hardwood floors and tall ceilings provide volume throughout. The eat-in kitchen offers eye-catching stone counters and sleek cabinetry, plus a Viking fridge, five burner Gaggenau range and double oven; out french doors to a sweet patio with verdant outlooks. The dining room is abundantly stylish with an adjoining bar ideal for entertaining. Downstairs are the private retreats: The luxury primary suite with a fireplace, seating area, enormous walk-in closet, spa-like bath, including a huge Duravit soaking tub plus shower and steam room. Two more very comfortables bedrooms share an updated bathroom. For entertainment (or as a 4th bedroom), the theater room features a 5x8-foot screen and ceiling-mounted projector. 2 car attached garage w/interior access. Nearby is Hwy 24, fabulous restaurants/shops in the Elmwood, Rockridge or Claremont, and hiking/biking trails. A truly gorgeous place to call home!
