Experience the pinnacle of timeless elegance, incredible luxury, modern convenience, and serene seclusion from this captivating 5 bed, 4.5 bath rustic contemporary estate set on an elevated perch against a gorgeous wooded backdrop and nestled within 1.54 scenic acres surrounded by lush greenspace on all sides, enhancing the feeling of expanse and extraordinary privacy, all hidden at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac in the heart of The Galena Territory. As you ascend the long, private driveway, you're greeted by views of the unique stone patio built atop the original foundation of a historic springhouse, a simply breathtaking outdoor space that overlooks two naturally spring-fed ponds framed by native limestone and featuring a multi-tiered spillway that beckons you to relax and unwind. Prepare for an unforgettable first impression as you pass through the towering, covered entry to find great room style living area with soaring ceilings, grand floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace uniquely inset with brick found on property, warm and inviting hand-scraped hickory flooring that flows throughout, and dramatic wall of windows that floods the space with natural light. Open dining area has ample room to entertain, and feeds directly to generous screened porch and expansive rear deck offering sweeping views of the surrounding treed ridges and beyond, all while overlooking the manicured grounds and pristine ponds in the foreground. Gourmet kitchen features large center island with copper prep sink, eat at counter and coffered ceiling accent above, rich custom hickory cabinetry with pegged storage, stone tile flooring, and high-end stainless-steel appliances that include a 6-burner gas cooktop with stainless hood above, built-in wall oven, and integrated wine cooler. Executive office is tucked just beyond and houses three-sided built-in desk with granite top, lighted custom book/display cabinetry and credenza with accent lighting above. Laundry room with built-in storage and conveniently located powder room occupy the hall that leads to oversized three car garage with built-in storage and work counters, radiant in-floor heat, deep basin sink and even a wash area. The main-level primary suite is a true escape, complete with a stone corner fireplace and direct deck access, boutique-style closet with built-in cabinetry, and spa-inspired primary bath with tile surround whirlpool soaking tub, dual water closets, custom individual vanities, and huge walk-in stone tiled shower. Head to the upper level to find a lofted landing, two comfortable guest bedrooms, a nicely appointed full bath, and spacious multi-use/hobby room with private, balcony-style deck, built-in corner desk, and lots of room to customize to one's needs or utilize for additional guest space. Retreat to the walkout lower level with radiant in-floor heat that is absolutely an entertainer’s dream, featuring a state-of-the-art theater with a 110” screen, Sony 4K projector, immersive sound system and tiered custom leather seating, a full bar with beer tap and beverage cooler, and a fully equipped second kitchen with pass-through to large dining cellar that accesses adjoining wine cellar with 100+ bottle storage capacity. Additionally, lower level has direct access to rear patio and houses large guest bedroom with additional full bath, secondary suite with lavish private bath that offers whirlpool tub and separate shower, and utility/garden garage complete with pet wash station. Home is smart-enabled and automated with Control4, providing whole house audio, temperature and lighting control, and home security, all controllable by wall keypads, remotes, or mobile app. Energy efficiency is paramount with solar array and prior conversion to natural gas. This exceptional property is being sold with some furnishings and to be transferred via separate bill. Central location offers easy access to all the amenities of The Galena Territory, including Owners' Club.
