Tuscan-inspired estate on almost an acre within Gleannloch Farms

- By Lisa Zapalac

Stunning and memorable are words that best describe this custom home in Gleannloch Farms. Listing agents Summer and David Patton of the Grayson-Patton Team at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene describe the property as a custom estate on an acre of Tuscan-inspired grounds.

The home with more than 5,400 square feet of living space is on a corner cul-desac with a side-entry garage.

Open living spaces and entertaini­ng areas abound both inside and outside of the home at 11 Lillington Manor Ct. Some of its many highlights include real stone brought in from a quarry, soffit and landscape lighting, custom ironwork, a cutting-edge home automation system, a NuVo home audio system, and a central vacuum.

The entry features double front doors, custom iron sconces, an open staircase with custom ironwork and wood floors that continue into the study with French doors, wood shutters and a tall ceiling.

Wood beams enhance the open entertaini­ng spaces that include the den and kitchen.

The kitchen offers Kitchen-Aid appliances, a built-in refrigerat­or, a gas range with griddle, a copper prep and farmhouse sink, convection ovens, waterfall granite, under-cabinet lighting and a designer stenciled island with electrical stations.

There is an open bar area with wine storage and easy access to the media room, which is nearby.

The first-floor media room has built-in speakers, a 108-inch screen and custom wool carpet.

With enough space to seat 10 people, the formal dining room has extra seating at the adjacent breakfast bar.

Located on the first floor, the private master suite showcases a reclaimed-brick wall and a wood beamed ceiling. The luxury master bath has a copper tub, a walk-in shower, a designer stenciled concrete floor, two closets, a workout room and a barrel ceiling and fixture that is from a mission in Mexico.

The home also has an additional bedroom on the first floor with a full bath that has access to the pool.

The mud room, with access to the garage, has lots of storage space and built-ins that include lockers. Even the laundry room is inviting with lots of space, abundant storage, enough room for a refrigerat­or, a desk area, and a window.

Each of the home’s secondary bedrooms offers unique and memorable features including a reclaimedb­rick wall, custom moldings and custom shutters.

There is even a bedroom that the Pattons describe as the “princess suite.”

Also located on the second floor is a game room with a beamed ceiling, a large window and custom built-ins.

Outside, the grounds have been created to capture views reminiscen­t of the Italian countrysid­e and offer plenty of covered and open living, entertaini­ng and recreation areas, including Travertine decking and pathways, a 40-foot by 20foot pool with a Pebble-Tech surface, a spa, an expansive covered patio, a fire pit, and copper scupper firewalls.

The covered patio has multiple seating areas, a wood-plank ceiling, a double-sided fireplace and TV connection­s, a granite summer kitchen with bar seating, stainless-steel appliances, and media connection­s including built-in speakers.

With a total of four bedrooms and 4½ baths, this home is priced at $1,275,000.
