GREAT HOME AND GARDENS
Seventeen Country Club Drive is “one of the most perfect homes and most spectacular gardens we have seen in years,” says listing agent Doris Christensen. “The owners are so exacting and no expense was spared.”
The 80x195-foot irregular lot has lush landscaped gardens and multi-level stone terraces that offer covered and open dining areas. Other terraces and manicured lawns offer places to sit and relax.
Meticulously crafted, the stone home offers gracious one-level living. The owners were thinking ahead, Christensen says. “The architect advised them to build a second level but not to finish it. It’s a blank canvas should the next owners decide they would like a bigger home.”
This unfinished second level has more than 1,800 square feet, full-height ceilings and roughed-in mechanicals.
The main floor offers everything a family needs. The foyer has a convenient powder room. A living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room and family room with a coffered ceiling are cool-weather gathering spots. The kitchen is an epicurean’s delight.
The master bedroom wing has a walk-in closet, a fivepiece ensuite bathroom and a walkout to a patio.
Private space for guests or a nanny is on the lower level, which has two bedrooms, a four-piece bathroom, a recreation room and a media room. For the wine connoisseur, a 1,000-bottle wine cellar is a treasure. Listing Broker: Re/Max Professionals (Doris Christensen and Niels Christensen)
