Think marble floors, a Murano chandelier, a mahogany elevator, and Swarovski crystal doorknobs.
Built in 2007, this 8,498-square-foot home makes a statement upon first step through the mahogany front door with leaded glass. The all-brick facade is fronted by an 75-foot front veranda with Corinthian columns and gas lanterns that overlooks views of St. Andrews Bay. Inside, the foyer is marked by marble floors, a crystal Murano chandelier, and a grand curved black walnut staircase.
On the first floor, relax in the front parlor with marble fireplace, select a bottle of wine from the climate-controlled wine closet with cedar paneling, or host guests in the formal dining room with Versace dining sets under a matching Versace chandelier, sconces, and painted gold ceiling. (While the Versace pieces are not included, they are negotiable.) The dining room also features a Calcutta Gold marble fireplace with walnut mantle and bow-fronted built-in china cabinets with lighting.
The kitchen has two walnut and quartzite islands; two farmhouse sinks; three Sub-Zero custom built-in refrigerators/freezers; a six-burner Wolf stove with griddle, double oven, and concrete vent hood; three custom built-in dishwashers; rain-drop glass display cabinets; soft-close, dovetail drawers with customizable inserts; a warming drawer; custom pull-out spice racks; and a breakfast room. Alongside is a butler’s pantry with built-in steamer, wine refrigerator, microwave, and walk-in pantry with custom shelving and cabinetry hidden behind a leaded glass door.
Unwind in the living room with a custom built-in entertainment center that features sliding bookshelves that conceal the television, or with a wet bar with hammered copper sink and double ogee quartzite countertop.
The first floor is home to two bedrooms with dual copper sinks and glazed vanities, as well as an oversized laundry room with storage and a powder room that opens onto the 75-foot back veranda with its summer kitchen and fireplace.
On the second level, find two additional bedrooms that share a dual vanity, custom soapstone shower and backsplash, and travertine floors and countertops. The primary suite is a luxurious retreat that begins with a double-door entry with Swarovski crystal doorknobs and continues to a kitchenette, Juliet balcony overlooking the living area, fireplace with wood mantle, and French doors that open onto an 75-foot Cumaru hardwood balcony. The en suite bath includes dual vanities with a cut crystal sink and makeup vanity, a clawfoot bathtub on a marble platform beneath an Italian chandelier, an oversized marble steam shower with towel warmer, and generous walk-in closet with built-in shelving and drawers plus a laundry space and safe room.
A dedicated library offers custom built-in bookshelves and desk with access to the front balcony that overlooks the bay. All finishes throughout were thoughtfully selected including 12-foot ceilings, black walnut hardwood floors, California shutters, mahogany elevator, whole-home surround sound and generator, irrigation system, directional LED recessed lighting, 11-step crown molding, solid core doors with detailed hardware and transoms, stand-up attic, closed-cell foam insulations and four HVAC units—two of which were replaced in 2019—with a whole home dehumidifier, and a new roof installed in 2019.
With a three-car garage and two pull-through spaces, there is also plenty of room for a fleet of vehicles or guests.
