NEW High-end Construction. This project was spearheaded by the industry's very best, HGTV Alum Kenneth Brown in collaboration with Scheffy Construction and Architect Mike Sullivan. The final result is simply a work of art. Mature trees were preserved to create a sense of place and to connect this home to its surroundings. Split-faced limestone on the front of the home frames an over-scale 3/4 pivot steel front door by Chateau Dominque. Upon entering, reclaimed pecky Cypress walls with an overhead Venini chandelier gives way to a grand living room. 150-year-old antique beams combined with limestone wall create magazine worthy interiors. A library with floor to ceiling bookshelf is beautifully appointed with custom chandelier. The Chef’s kitchen features a barrel vaulted ceiling with steel windows & door with solid bronze door fittings. Top-of-the-line SubZero and Wolf appliances are encased in custom millwork alongside beautiful quartzite counter tops. A concealed door hides a back-kitchen allowing for additional storage and a hidden catering workspace for ease of entertaining. The Russian White Oak wood floors run throughout the home. The smart-room combines laundry, work at home, and gift wrapping in a wallpaper adorned space that features a 48-inch sink for pet bathing. A large home gym which could also serve as a home theater is on a separate stairwell off of the friends’ entry. Built in chilled-water bottle filler along with tongue and groove cabinet system create for a functional and beautiful entry off of 2-car garage. The Master Suite features a bathroom with Walter Zinger Calcutta mosaic, waterworks fixtures and custom crafted scallops vanities. On the main second floor are 2 large bedrooms and huge playroom complete with built-in bunk beds overlooking the canopy of a live oak tree.
