European allure

-

This home, overlookin­g the Bear Den Golf Course of Chenal Valley, rests behind iron fencing in a gated neighborho­od. Upon entering the designer wood front door the foyer greets guests with arched doorways and deep crown molding, accentuate­d by the soft glow of a beautiful chandelier.

The travertine flooring that extends throughout the main living space leads to the formal living room, where tall bookcases — nearly as high as the 14-foot ceiling — flank both sides of a woodburnin­g, gas-start fireplace with a custom mantel. A rich, wood-coffered ceiling is the standout in this grand room. Exquisite finishes continue in the hearth room with the mantle above the limestone fireplace and more builtin bookcases.

The chef’s kitchen includes custom cabinetry, a butcher-block central island, a breakfast bar and granite countertop­s, and is equipped with a six-burner gas range, a grill and a double oven. A small butler’s pantry is situated between the dining room and kitchen.

Hickory floors and custom details add warmth to the master bedroom, but the tray ceiling, golf-course view and access to the veranda are the room’s most striking features. The spacious master bath includes two separate vanities, each with its own chandelier above the sink, along with a walk-in closet and lots of storage, a walk-in stone shower with multi-directiona­l fixtures, a jetted tub and a private water closet.

The main level offers a second bedroom or office and a guest bath; three additional bedrooms are located on the lower level, along with two more bathrooms and a media room.

The property also features beautiful outdoor entertaini­ng areas with double stacked porches overlookin­g the golf course.
