Presenting an extraordinary gated custom estate, originally built as the developer's personal residence and crafted with architectural detail and timeless elegance rarely found at any price. A grand gated approach leads into a dramatic foyer and an interior defined by rich cherry wood trim, custom glazing, solid-core doors, handcrafted beams, Amish-crafted millwork, and remarkable ceiling treatments in every room, including a stunning coffered Crawford-style cherry wood ceiling and a hand-painted cloud ceiling in the primary suite. Three fireplaces, custom built-ins, and radiant heated floors fed by a boiler-fed hydronic system with individual thermostats in every room extend throughout the main level. All four bedrooms are on the main level. The kitchen features imported Italian stone flooring, premium Bremtown maple cabinetry, and a redesigned pantry. A full wet bar with ice maker and dual refrigerators serves the main living area. De Giulio cabinetry in the laundry and office reinforces the continuity of quality. The primary suite is a luxurious private retreat with spa-inspired bath, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and custom cabinetry. The heated 4-car garage has been transformed into a custom Chicago Cubs man cave with built-in wet bar and cabinetry. A substantial upper level loft is ideal as a private retreat or media room. A three-seasons room with fireplace and HVAC overlooks the extraordinary grounds. The basement offers a wine cellar, lounge, and full kitchen, with 3,058 sq ft of bonus space beyond. Outside, botanical garden-like landscaping, Colorado boulders, a custom paver driveway, and a gated water-surrounded setting create rare beauty and privacy.
