This recently renovated contemporary ranch is a miracle of creative interior design and imagination. Unique Italian plasters in combinations of color, contour, and texture highlight the walls, creating a vista of intriguing accents and elegant definition, and providing contrast to the dark oak floors. Light fills all the rooms, with casement and bay windows, and glass doors offering uninterrupted views of the fenced backyard and graceful in-ground pool. Stainless steel appliances and built-in cabinets take center stage in the sleek modern kitchen, with its fine Italian finishes and sophisticated black and white decor ? a color motif evident throughout much of the house. Superbly appointed, the living room and dining room are designed both for classic comfort and elegant entertaining. Special touches, including charming wall sconces, unusual stair lighting and Italian plaster flooring leading to the finished basement, are seen everywhere. Fireplace and wet bar invite entertaining in the lower level, and a guest bedroom there features sliding glass doors opening to the pool. One of the five bedrooms can easily serve as a home office, and with three full baths and powder room, convenience is key. Screened-in porch, large laundry/storage room, wood stove, built-in bookcases and cabinets add more interest to this remarkable house, and the eye-catching globe-shaped outdoor lighting fixtures surrounding the pool beckon visitors to a magical evening of pool-side entertaining. Surely a must-see!
