Contempora­ry custom home near Highland Village

- By Lisa Zapalac

Located within walking distance of Highland Village, this O’Connor and Gill home in Oak Estates features inviting entertaini­ng spaces and beautiful views.

Listing agent Cindy Burns of Martha Turner Sotheby’s Internatio­nal Realty said the home was custom built with art lighting throughout and abundant wall space for art collection­s.

With more than 4,600 square feet, the two-story contempora­ry design showcases Jurastone Gray Blue limestone floors throughout firstfloor entertaini­ng areas; open living spaces; and floor-to-ceiling windows that capture views of the landscaped back yard, saltwater pool, spa, and fully equipped summer kitchen and entertaini­ng area.

A large, gated and landscaped courtyard provides access to double doors that open into the home’s entry and gallery that is custom designed with special art lighting.

A commission­ed art piece by Caprice Perucci was created for the spacious living room and will remain in the home.

The living room has display shelving, a gas fireplace and beautiful views of the grounds.

The dining room, which is a part of the open and spacious living/ entertaini­ng area, opens into the summer kitchen/ lanai and pool and spa, ideally connecting the indoor and outdoor living areas.

Honed Nordic Black Antique granite countertop­s and a stainless-steel and tile backsplash are striking in the kitchen, which includes custom built and pull-out design drawers and shelving, a walk-in pantry and profession­al grade appliances by Dacor and Bosch.

A wet bar is centrally between the open kitchen and family room.

Atrium-like views enhance the private master suite, which encompasse­s its own wing.

Extra-high Marinace granite counters, a soaking tub, large shower and transom windows define the luxury master bath.

A large closet is off the master bathroom.

A fully equipped media room, a large study with custom built-ins, a large powder bath and exercise room are also on the first floor.

Upstairs are two spacious secondary bedrooms that share a Hollywood-style bath.

The backyard and outdoor living/entertaini­ng areas are just as inviting and include a summer kitchen and lanai with a fireplace, outside speakers and a television, and a saltwater pool and spa with a waterfall.

With three or four bedrooms and 2½ baths, this home is priced at $2,400,000.
