Description

This exceptional contemporary home, fondly called the Tree House, shares and deeply inspires a connection with the glorious Havenwood ravine. In 2021, a total whole house renovation was inspired by world renowned architect, Mies Van der Rohe and helped to create this unified and elegant home with large open public rooms as well as intimate private spaces. Enduring and timeless, the palate throughout the home with white on white and monotone subtleties of black, gray and brown creates a calm, serene refuge. The front entry offers an instant enlightening view of the breathtaking ravine. Dramatic open floor plan invites you in with an abundance of windows to enjoy the peaceful setting and the change of seasons which offer spectacular new viewing experiences and pleasures. Stunning well designed kitchen with custom white cabinetry and huge quartz clad island. High end appliances include Wolf, Miele & Subzero. Enjoy morning coffee at your kitchen table, surrounded by glass sliders leading out to the expansive deck. As part of the renovation, the kitchen was opened to the family room increasing the sense of lightness and transparency. 1st floor private primary suite is a relaxing getaway with spa like bath and show stopping walk-in closet. The main level also includes a handsome library with built-in bookcases and fireplace, vaulted dining room, mirrored exercise room, laundry room, custom walk-in pantry and two powder rooms. Upstairs you will find two additional generously sized en-suite bedrooms with walk-in closets connected by the gallery hall overlooking the living room below. Finished lower level features a rec room, full bath, office or additional bedroom as well as an abundance of storage and access to the 3 car heated garage. Nestled on nearly an acre of professionally landscaped property this home is a rare find in an unbeatable location.
