Opening the pad locked pedestrian door, you will be awed by the extravagant lake views from the top of the stairway leading to the Casita. A quick look side-side reveals an artistic tile design at the top of the stairway, at the start of the 'wall of lights' walkway paved in a lovely 'flower carpet' motif. Turn right toward the entrance at the Yin Yang sign, walking past 'the heart of the house' embedded in the stone pathway, to arrive at the custom designed doors with figurines depicting a loving couple dancing.
First Floor
Entering the foyer, your eyes will be drawn to the soaring double height ceilings and the Lake that seems so close. By the entrance you will find a 2-piece bath with an artistic 'barn door' and parota wood cabinetry. A lighted niche allows for displaying a prized piece of artwork to set up your personal style right from the entrance.
Continuing into the 'great room' you will be wowed by the lofty fireplace rising to the second level ceiling, by the magical hanging light globes, and the magnificent, curved iron staircase. Linger in this impressive two story room which contains a dining area, full bar with wine racks, bar fridge and wine cooler. The enviable 'chef's kitchen', complete with a vapor oven, has a massive island topped with Italian granite, ideal for preparing simple or sumptuous meals. There is ample space for an office/library area plus living space in front of the gas/bio-ethanol fireplace for those cooler evenings or mornings. For alfresco dining and entertaining, exit via quality PVC doors to the spacious, screened-in terrace with an additional kitchenette, dining room and living room by another cozy gas/bio-ethanol fireplace.
The laundry room off the bar area has its own entrance from the garage to bring in your shopping; it has two work stations plus cabinetry, an ingenious laundry sink, top of the line LG washer/dryer and one full wall of cabinet/storage space for those Costco runs.
Second Floor
Rising from the first floor upwards is a true work of art in steel. This curved staircase features laser cut figurines of a dancing couple leading you to an extensive multipurpose area which can be used as an office/library/TV room/gym/hobby room, with the Juliette balcony facing the green mountain landscape and broad windows on the south allowing for sweeping lake views.
The custom built grand master bedroom suite is also upstairs. A large 2 ton ‘smart’ mini split air conditioner ensures not only the perfect sleeping temperature in the room but can efficiently cool the entire home. Sliding PVC glass doors lead out to the huge upper-level terrace where you can dance under the stars. This is also an ideal spot for relaxing in a hammock or installing a hot tub for evening dips.
The master suite continues with an extensive 'his and her' walk-through cedar closet and into the considerably sized ensuite bath with a make-up station, twin sinks, a freestanding jetted jacuzzi tub, high quality granite counter tops and window sills, and a 'massage' Total Shower System for your refreshing enjoyment.
