Through the oversized wrought iron front door you will be taken aback by the grand stone foyer with wrought iron banister sweeping up the staircase. Your eyes can’t help but be drawn up to the chandelier and circular coffered ceilings with custom woodwork. Immediately off the foyer is the French Country designed dining room with fantastic Cherry floors and trim work that extends throughout most of this main level. Double doors lead you to the office/den with Cherry bookshelves and sophisticated Mahogany desk with ample shelving and storage.
The formal living room draws you in with its cast limestone fireplace, dramatic 2-story ceilings, decorative wall niches and walk-out to the fully enclosed patio. The patio has great entertaining space and ambiance complete with fireplace, grill station, reproduction historic belt fans, recessed lighting, air conditioning, and a Nanawall that opens the west wall up to take in the picturesque Pikes Peak views. The rear balcony overlooks the rear ponds, patios and brick pathways, and Ponderosa pine trees.
The gourmet kitchen is a cook’s dream with a 2-level Shirestone island that complements the granite counter tops and custom sink. The 6-burner gas stove grill with water spigot, Turbo Chef double oven, double dishwashers and refrigerator/freezers, butler’s and standard pantries complete this gourmet kitchen. The kitchen sensibly opens to the Family Room and 2nd Dining Room featuring details like a copper ceiling treatment, gorgeous light fixtures, and perfect mountain views.
This area also boasts beautifully tiled halls, a half-bath, and garage access with large tiled mud room with convenient shoe rack, built-in cubbies, sink, storage cabinets and counters. You will also love the elevator that offers convenience and ease as it goes from the upper level guest suite all the way down to the lower level cinema!
In the other wing of this main level is the stunning master suite complete with limestone fireplace sitting area, sunroom with private balcony and huge his and hers walk-in closet. Heated floors and dual height his and hers showers are just a few of the great features of the master bathroom. Off the Master is access to the well thought out domestic study/office with desk and storage areas, laundry and electronic storage garages.
There is a quiet upper loft area off the master wing that has bedroom and living areas and is plumbed for a bathroom. It makes for a quiet getaway from the rest of the home. The master hall off the garage has a kids cubby area with enclosed slide emptying out to the lower level!
