Property Description
Experience the pinnacle of European elegance in this masterfully crafted French Country estate, designed by nationally renowned architect Jack Arnold. Rich in old-world character, the home showcases steeply pitched rooflines, oversized tumbled brick, and three grand chimneys crowned with classic European clay pots that create a striking architectural presence from the moment you arrive. Privately set behind an electric wrought iron gate, the grounds offer a serene, park-like setting with mature landscaping, slate porticos, and a stunning bi-level river pebble patio ideal for outdoor entertainment. A cedar-beam pergola and a Haddonstone belvedere add to the architectural style on the lower patio. Copper finials atop the roof ends of the 100-year tri-laminate roof further enhance the estate's timeless appeal. Recent upgrades include brand-new replacements of the majority of the Pella casement windows (2024). Custom arched solid walnut front doors under the barrel-vaulted ceiling are accented with Rocky Mountain Hardware as are all windows and external doors. Thoughtfully designed for canine companions, the property also includes a brick doghouse, kennel, and underground fencing. Inside, superior 2x6 construction pairs with refined, high-end finishes throughout. The main level features wide-plank reclaimed five-inch antique white oak flooring alongside imported Italian travertine, setting the stage for elegant yet comfortable living. The house is adorned with over-sized classical wood trim. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece, complete with hand-hewn panels by Draper DBS custom cabinetry, a striking Tiger Wood island bar, and a premium appliance package including a 48'' GE Monogram dual-fuel range, Miele refrigeration, Sub-Zero freezer storage, warming drawer and an Asko dishwasher. The wet bar includes Sub-Zero wine storage, a Scotsman clear ice maker, Fisher-Paykel dishwasher and copper bar sink complemented by a jet-black slate top. Warm, inviting living spaces are highlighted by exposed beam ceilings and three wood-burning fireplaces with gas logs. The luxurious barrel-vaulted primary suite offers a true spa-like retreat, featuring a dual-headed steam shower with frameless glass and a slipper soaking tub surrounded by tumbled travertine and textured-painted walls. Throughout the home, exquisite details such as marble sinks, Maitland Smith lighting, and custom wrought iron balusters further elevate the interior. Modern systems provide comfort and efficiency, including a whole-house 12KW generator, four-zone HVAC with propane backup, and dual central vacuum systems (upstairs & downstairs). Equestrian amenities include a well-appointed 4-stall shed-row barn with a heated and cooled tack room, hot and cold wash stall, and separate equipment, blanket, and hay storage rooms. The barn opens into a fenced barnyard and holding area which connect to four spacious, contiguous pastures with a separate entry to Youngs Rd. The entire property borders the Walthour-Moss Foundation on two sides with a gate providing direct access to the Foundation at the rear or directly from Youngs Road to the far right of the property.
