We invite you to this dramatic, light-filled home that sits amongst and blends with its scenic environment.  Recently refreshed with gorgeous refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint and new carpet, this residence is truly unsurpassed by its custom design and flow and provides a sound sanctuary where natural light abounds. From the entry with its substantial front door, walls of glass and skylights, to the curved stairwell, open living room and dining rooms with even more spectacular windows, you will find a home that embraces the surrounding landscape and trees.  Continue into the magnificent kitchen, breakfast room and huge family room with space to entertain a crowd. Just off of the kitchen is the screened-in porch with skylights. Off the main entry and passed the courtyard there is an office space with built in desks and cabinetry.  Also, on the main level is an ensuite guest room or den.  Upstairs overlooking the formal living room, you will find a sitting room/library with built-in bookshelves. The owner's suite with its amazing windows and a private deck overlooks the courtyard, pool and the lush backyard. The primary bath has a dressing room, two walk-in closets, an enormous walk-in shower, bidet and a sauna.   An expansive hallway above the entry provides an abundance of natural light to the upper level and leads you to 3 more bedrooms plus a den/playroom.  On those sunny days, there are electronic retractable awnings to provide shade and comfort. Two of the bedrooms share a jack and jill bath and the third bedroom has an ensuite bath. All the bedrooms have built-in cabinetry. Plus there is another bonus room at the end of the hall!  And last but certainly not to be missed, on the lower levels are a half bath, a huge storage/utility room and a gym/basketball court with an approximately 14 ft. ceiling. The architect, Craig Hoopes, originally from Maryland, is now based in Santa Fe, NM. Hoopes is an award-winning architect known for designing contemporary styled homes and spaces.  His designs integrate comfortable indoor and outdoor living areas that invite a connection with the landscape.  Blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors is a hallmark of the Hoopes Architecture firm and this property is no exception. Outside the home there is a lovely courtyard and steps away is the beautiful, heated saltwater pool with surrounding deck. These spaces embrace the landscape and provide for secluded relaxation and enjoyment. Sitting on 5 park-like acres to explore, you shouldn't miss the pond at the bottom of the hill in the back. Plus the yard provides something for everyone with an area for a fire pit, climbing structure and a rope swing for kids! In addition to being refreshed in so many different ways, this home has been lovingly cared for meticulously maintained - Standing Seam Metal Roof! 2 of the 4 A/Cs were just replaced.  And don't forget, there is an additional 1-acre lot available to purchase at 2704 Chariton St.  This one -of-a-kind estate offers the perfect combination of suburban serenity and commuter ease.
