This could be the setting for a dream vacation, except it is home. Behind the gates of the highly desired community of Equus, this 6245 square foot home offers 5 bedrooms, 7 ½ baths and two 2-car garages. Through a private courtyard and foyer, polished travertine floors serve as a lovely anchor for the wall of glass in the two-story living room that looks out into the picturesque back yard and pool. Evenings are lit by an extraordinary antique hand-blown Murano chandelier. This incredible house unfolds from here. The dining room opens to the private front courtyard and the study on the other side of the foyer is lined with custom maple cabinetry. Family and friends will be drawn to an expansive 11' x 7' underlit quartzite island under a beamed ceiling in the kitchen to witness, or help with, the culinary magic of an inspired cook or savor take-out in a fancy setting. The aspiring or experienced chef will be aided and motivated by a 6-burner gas range, Wolf microwave, steam convection oven and a warming drawer. Dual Asko dishwashers, a Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator and two additional under-counter refrigerator drawers in the island accommodate large scale entertaining or intimate family meals. Guests can spill into the family room or take the party outside to the screened kitchen, living and dining area outfitted with a hand-built Kalamazoo hybrid natural gas and wood grill, teppanyaki griddle, wet bar, wine refrigerator, kegerator and a built-in television with surround sound. So, whether one is entertaining a crowd or looking for a private escape, this is destination one. A variety of fronds, flowers and foliage artfully landscape the private backyard and a salt water resort- style lazy river pool twists its way around a grotto, a swim-up bar, waterfalls and a sunken fire pit in the center of the pool accessed by two bridges. An 8-person jacuzzi and a cabana bath add to the temptation to spend every lovely day outdoors. Your choice of music drifts throughout the backyard on the Sonance 16 speaker landscape sound system. A low stone wall with two fire bowls separate the pool area from a Golden Bear Turf putting green with 4 holes and 4 chipping stations and the yard stretches beyond as a play area or a quiet respite from the action. Forget counseling...the large master suite has life figured out with two separate luxury bathrooms and a connecting shower, separate walk-in closets providing individual space needs. Greet the morning at the coffee bar or hit the wine refrigerator to toast the close of day. The four bedrooms upstairs each have an en-suite bath and walk-in closet. Enjoy films or endless binge watching in the theatre room with a 123" movie screen, overhead 4K projector, 9.2 surround sound and automated blackout shades. Granite counters top the attendant wet bar with a wine refrigerator, beverage fridge and separate ice maker. The movie is about to start. Intermission offers an opportunity to meander to the upstairs outdoor terrace with a fireplace, covered seating area and space for laying in the sun. This beauty of this home makes the pulse quicken but then it envelopes, embraces and shelters friends and family until the blood pressure goes down and peace sets in. Who needs travel...it's all here.
