No need to hire a designer for this simply spectacular East Kenilworth solid red brick beauty with the extra little location bonus of being steps from Plaza Del Lago (currently now being completely renovated by the luxury level commercial builder who did Royal Poinciana in Palm Beach, FL). Rare & equally impeccable 6 bedroom /5.1 bath floor plan brought to a whole new level of luxe expansive living with a totally revamped 3rd floor with beds 5 & 6 accented & crisp, new white quartz bath. Step inside to a dramatic formal entry layered with a dynamite Casamance navy floral wallpaper to a custom inlay Ann Sacks tile within the natural oak sawn hardwood floors that sets a natural footprint of a rug. It's these types of creative custom design flares that makes this house a one of a kind masterpiece. Huge great room/living room with redone sleek limestone FP centers the space with Holly Hunt sconces as accents with tons of windows allowing light to naturally flood in. Fab family room (now being used as kids playroom) with custom built ins, artsy custom wine bar & French doors lead out to manicured backyard. Serena & Lily meets chic "city vibe" Chef's kitchen is the heart of the home. Designed around two huge custom islands splashed in a beautiful soft blue hue, quartz ctops, Ann Sacks grey & white geometric marble tiled backsplash, custom soft touch cabinetry and top of the line S/S appliances. Tucked away in the command center, aka desk area, between kitchen & dining room, is a brand new custom glass enclosed display wine room which elevates this stylish home to a higher level. Elegantly pointed dining room with beautiful fireplace as the focal point leads to inviting dinners overlooking the front yard through oversized windows. Also on this level is a full bath with a shower and mudroom area with access to the 2 car detached garage handsomely outfitted in bluestone tile, Thibaut wallpaper and tailored millwork. Large 2nd level with 4 bedrooms including a hip modern primary suite with another beautifully redone sleek fireplace, now 2 large walk in closets, and creatively finished white marble spa bath with dual vanities & walk-in glass tiled shower. 3 additional spacious bedrooms on this floor 2 share Jack & Jill and the other with en-suite bath in pastel tiles and soothing neutral palate of colors & finishes. Newly renovated 3rd level with two more bedroom/office options & bath is a huge bonus. Large lower level with big rec space, laundry, exercise room, powder bath and tons of storage. This house is turn key perfection if California clean beach chic is your vibe as there is not one thing left to do here! Step in and start living with lake breezes and of course all that happens at the Kenilworth Beach this summer. The best of all worlds if you want to be close to the action while beautifully set in a private enclave that everyone loves to call home in East Kenilworth. All PHOTOS up TUE. APRIL 2nd
