Sun “Peaks” Mountainview Acreage Home Click Below to download a full color brochure
Named “The Peaks,” this home was designed to take full advantage of the stunning mountain views that lie to the West of the 4-acre property. The mountains are mirrored in the design of the home, with vaulted ceilings and windows that form peaks at the top, and all main rooms face west to further incorporate the panoramic scenery. The lot drops to the west at the back of the house, the valley contrasting beautifully with the majestic peaks. Consistency and attention to detail were key priorities in the creation of the home, an aspect that becomes obvious as you walk through the home. Granite countertops are used in areas of the home to unify separate elements into a graceful whole. The iron details found on the curved staircase are repeated on drawer handles downstairs, and the broken mosaic tile that forms the backsplash for the bar downstairs is also found in carious carefully chosen areas throughout the home. As you walk in through the grand front entrance, your attention is instantly drawn towards the mountain views framed by 20 ft vault windows, which cover one side of the great room, and drop down to the family room below. The elegant gold green quartzite slate flooring covers the receiving area and adds eye-catching detail to the entranceway, ensuring that guests are always greeted in style. The main floor consists of four main gables, all with vaulted ceilings to accentuate the theme of the home, and accommodates hand scraped 5” plank hardwood flooring, giving the impression of recovered wood, which adds character and beauty to the home. The great room is an impressive introduction to the home, with a peaked stone gas fireplace, and an intricately detailed iron staircase starting in the middle of the room for creative symmetry, and curving down to the lower floor, all set against the backdrop of the mountains.
The main kitchen features a massive 14½’ x 4½’ Island with veined South African granite, an elegant contrast to the dark nutmeg maple cabinetry, while a double skylight adds to the ample natural light that floods in through the huge floor to ceiling windows. A Pro Series 48” Stainless Steel Subzero Fridge with glass door and pull-out freezer drawers complement the Wolf appliances including a 5 burner cook top, built-in convection oven, warming drawer and microwave. Two sinks, a Miele dishwasher and U-Line wine cooler are also included, ensuring that any chef has all the necessities for preparing a mouth-watering meal within easy reach. A built-in maple wood china cabinet and a granite chef’s desk within the nook transforms this beautiful kitchen into another intimate living space, and access to the stone-carpet aggregate deck with ornamental iron railings through double glass doors makes barbequing and easy option for a warm summer night. Attached to the main kitchen is a spacious butler’s side kitchen with an oversize sink, another Miele dishwasher, recycle bins and plenty of storage. Upper glass doors with lights and beautiful granite countertops add a nice touch along with the functional built-in armoire for coats and shoes with an exit door to the hallway and garage entrance.
As you walk down the north hallway, with its vaulted ceiling, a second double skylight, and transom windows to maximize natural light, you are met with gothic double reed glass doors, an impressive introduction to the deluxe master bedroom within which two vaulted ceilings, a 3-way gas fireplace and luxurious plush carpeting, create the perfect environment in which to spend a lazy Saturday morning. The en-suite, which features an Azzura airsteam and jetted all-in-one tub, travertine tile, and a granite countertop with double sinks is the epitome of luxury, and alone with the glass steam shower with 4 body jets, and a rain head, offers the relaxing atmosphere of a spa. The extensive walk in closet is built to match the splendor of the bedroom with stained maple wood, built-ins, a posture mirror, not to mention the in suite laundry that provides the very height of convenience. Also situated on the main floor, is a guest bedroom, a den with reed glass door, a four piece main bathroom and a two piece powder room featuring a curved concrete countertop with glass vessel sink and green gold quartzite slate wainscot walls.
The lower level is perfect for entertaining, and the style seamlessly blends with that of the main floor. The beautifully lit iron staircase leads directly to the backlit entertainment bar which, along with the granite countertops, broken mosaic tile backsplash features a Subzero 78 bottle wine cooler fridge, an under counter fridge with ice maker, designer sink, Bosch dishwasher and microwave. The bar opens up to the family room where your eyes are drawn to the floor to ceiling built-in library shelving. Connected to the family room is an exercise/bistro area with stylish tile flooring and a recreation/games area with a cozy gas fireplace for leisurely winter evenings. Another two bedrooms and a four piece bathroom provide plenty of space and comfort for guests or family. The media room provides the ideal environment in which to wind down with friends or family in style and comfort. Featuring a Sherbourne home theatre with 92” powered projector screen and sound surround system, the theatre also contains cabinets with a granite bar and across the hall is a three piece guest bath with a curved glass block shower and outdoor access to the lower interlocking brick patio. The patio area has been pre-wired, a perfect spot for the new homeowner to add a relaxing hot tub. For efficiency and convenience, there are two mechanical rooms which include a Well Mate Water Treatment system, air=conditioning, security control, a sound system rack, and a holding tank, as well as a 15 zone irrigation system, and NTI boilers which provide heat to in=floor system, air exchangers for high velocity jets, and hot water tank. The large, three car garage, with radiant heat can be accessed through the house, and there is also a 4th bay for maintenance vehicles, as well as parking for 8 cars on the asphalt driveways. The home does not end here; however, over $300,000 in landscaping has left this property with beautiful surroundings. As you drive up the guest driveway, you are met by a charming rock and water sculpture, encircled by an interlocking brick planter just waiting for colorful flowers to bloom. Around the back of the house are retaining walls of stone brick, a fire pit for summer evenings, and stone pathways which add a certain charm to the gardens. Shrub beds and mature trees also add to the beauty of this acreage and it’s only 10 minutes west on Hwy 22X from Shawnessy…Luxurious City Living in the Country!
