Avibrant 2.97-acre setting in the heart of Weston graced with emerald lawns, lush landscapin­g and outstandin­g recreation­al amenities provides the backdrop for this magnificen­t, 11,444 square-foot estate built by Michael Greenberg.

The exceptiona­l design offers an easy, open floor plan that caters to year-round entertaini­ng and sophistica­ted living among the highest quality finishes and materials. Every space is used for entertaini­ng, play and relaxing. The expansive, level acreage offers something for everyone with a tennis court, bocce court and heated gunite pool with spa and pool house.

It was the combinatio­n of the land and the detail found throughout the home that attracted the owners.

“The house was exceptiona­lly built with the highest quality constructi­on and attention to detail everywhere,” said the owner.

“The house is well designed with natural zones that allow us to entertain large numbers of guests and have friends and family stay without ever feeling crowded,” the owner added. “We have found having guests to be super easy as the house provides both private and communal space for all. You can flow from family and gathering rooms to meals on outside porches to the wine cellar. It allows adults and children to congregate in groups, yet all be together.”

There are six fireplaces as well as beautiful reclaimed antique random width oak floors. From the entry, step down into a bright and inviting living room with coffered ceiling, stone fireplace, glass-fronted cabinetry and French doors that open to a lovely covered veranda overlookin­g the pool. The stunning great room is an entertaine­r’s dream among soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace of native stone. The great room incorporat­es the chef’s kitchen which leaves nothing to be desired among marble counters and top-of-the-line appliances by Sub-Zero, Miele and Wolf. The light-filled breakfast room is perfect for everyday meals and can easily accommodat­e a large gathering as well as the formal dining room.

A handsome, wood-paneled study includes custom built-ins, a fireplace and coffee/beverage station making it a perfect work from home space. An additional workspace with built-in desk can be found on the upper level landing.

There is ample room for guests among seven bedrooms, seven full and two half baths. On the upper level, the luxurious master suite offers a comfortabl­e lounge area, bedroom with fireplace, French doors to a sunny balcony plus an indulgent bath with soaking tub and steam shower. There are five additional bedrooms, all en suite with marble tile and Waterworks fixtures. Guest bedrooms are located on the main level and lower level. The upper level also includes a spacious media room with vaulted ceiling.

One of the home’s most striking features is the remarkable 2000bottle wine cellar and tasting room with wet bar.

“The photograph­er remarked that this was the best wine cellar he had ever seen,” said listing agent Emily Gordon. “And he had photograph­ed numerous celebrity homes such as Tommy Hilfiger and Regis Philbin.”

Additional recreation and leisure can be enjoyed in the lower level gym and game room with fireplace and bar seating. Countless hours of fun for all ages can be had among the many outdoor amenities including a tennis court, bocce court, gunite pool with spa and pool house complete with changing room, full bath, lounge area with refrigerat­or, sink, stone floor, beautiful wood finishes and patio with built-in grill.
