You enter through steel-and-glass double doors into an architecturally stunning foyer with soaring ceilings, chevron-pattern oak floors, and a sleek iron-railed staircase set against dramatic paneled walls. The great room, with its soaring open-beam ceilings, is lined with clerestory windows and anchored by a whitewashed brick fireplace with a reclaimed wooden mantel. From there, the Fleetwood doors provide a sliding wall of glass that fully opens to the covered terrace running the length of the home. This is indoor-outdoor living at its finest, with its own fireplace, overhead heaters, and fans, completed by cable railing that preserves the open sightlines. Outside you'll also find a large entertaining and dining area and a well-appointed outdoor kitchen with a sink, a built-in Viking grill, a pizza oven, and bar seating -- all facing the views. Back inside is the stunning chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry and expansive soapstone and quartzite counters, accented with handmade Moroccan Zellige tiles. There's a 60" Viking range and dual Viking refrigerator and freezer columns. Behind the kitchen is the butler's pantry with a coffee bar, including a built-in Miele coffee system. There is also a separate, beautifully appointed bar for either elevated entertaining or simply relaxing; it features reclaimed brick walls, a built-in TV, two beverage refrigerators, an ice maker, and a dishwasher, along with a pass-through window that opens onto the terrace. The upstairs primary suite offers two large custom walk-in closets and dual separate en-suite his-and-her bathrooms. Her bath includes a freestanding soaking tub and a dramatic marble shower, along with a mountain-view balcony. Downstairs are the two additional bedrooms -- one designed en-suite, and the other opening to an oak-studded, shaded patio, with a pocket-door closure creating a complete guest suite wing.
