The objective for this project was to distill the clients pragmatic lifestyle into a residence that is welcoming for family and friends yet relaxed enough to accommodate their grandchildren. The great room stands as a masterpiece, with soaring windows flooding the space with natural light and offering captivating views of the rear landscape. A grand two-story fireplace adds warmth and beauty, concealing a hidden TV behind a cherished work of art. At the heart of the home lies the chef's kitchen, boasting top-tier appliances and the convenience of a full butler's pantry. This pantry seamlessly connects to the garage through a well-designed mudroom, ensuring a smooth flow for culinary enthusiasts and making daily tasks effortlessly efficient. The colors and finishes used throughout feature a neutral and earthy palette, subtly enriched with a touch of restrained drama. In the main floor den, deep blue walls and a custom soapstone fireplace establish a quiet and enveloping space dedicated to reading and relaxation. The principal bedroom incorporates a charming sitting area separated by a stone fireplace wall. The ensuite bathroom is a sanctuary, with a freestanding tub framed by the water closet and a spacious walk-in shower. These carefully curated spaces embody an unwavering commitment to comfort and relaxation. Practical highlights of this residence include an extraordinary garage equipped with a hydraulic car lift and an elevator, demonstrating a commitment to both functionality and luxury. Sliding pocket glass doors off the kitchen allow uninterrupted access to the tranquility of the covered patio. Complete with an outdoor kitchen, this space becomes the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. In summary, this residential design project harmoniously combines elegance and functionality, transforming a house into a home where every detail narrates a story of thoughtful craftsmanship and an enduring connection to the surrounding beauty.
