This home redefines luxury home building in Lexington, surpassing anything that has been built in town before. Designed by renowned architect Marcus Glysteen and built by one of the area’s finest builders.
The grand foyer has over 23-foot ceilings that create an immediately captivating moment upon entry. The foyer has an elegant architectural staircase that climbs along a custom wire brushed white oak wall detail and there is a sight line all the way through the great room, over the 60-foot outdoor veranda and out across the sprawling yard that extends to the beautiful mature growth tree grove that surrounds the property.
The main floor spans over 4000 square feet. The one-of-a-kind floor plan creates a living experience that cannot be found in any other home. Even more impressive than the scale of the home is the expert craftmanship. Every built-in, all the cabinetry, and each piece of architectural millwork is a one-of-one creation custom designed and built by the finest artisans for this home. All the hardware was custom designed and produced for the built-ins and cabinets as well.
The huge luxurious kitchen is the heart of the home, fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and an extraordinary amount of storage and preparation space, the dream of any chef or homeowner alike. Open to the informal dining space, a huge family room, and the sprawling outdoor entertaining and dining veranda. The best in New England luxury living and lifestyle is easily and readily enjoyed.
For larger or more formal entertaining, just off the kitchen are the dining room and living room spaces. These spaces are enhanced by custom walnut and marble elements. The dining room has a handsome walnut and leathered marble built-in with integrated lighting and custom hardware, while the living room is punctuated by a contemporary fireplace that is covered in an enormous single piece of natural stone. The portals on either side of the fireplace are solid walnut and frame both the stunning fireplace and the architectural staircase beyond.
The first floor includes a bright playroom just of the kitchen perfect for young children, but is equally convenient and suitable to be used as a large office, art studio, music room, 7th bedroom, or so many other creative uses. Privately located on the first floor is a large and bright guest suite with a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Just beyond the great room, is a large room that offers a tremendous amount of flexibility and uses. The room was designed to become a space for adult entertaining with a custom fully-equipped bar and game room or a second living room and library with custom built-ins that looks out on, and has direct access to, the outdoor terrace and wonderfully landscaped backyard.
The second level has an incredible private primary suite with a bright and luxurious marble bathroom and sizeable dressing room. Additionally, the second floor provides four large ensuite secondary bedrooms, a laundry room, and an enormous home gym with a bathroom--plenty of space to include a full golfing simulator setup.
The backyard is expansive with significant lawn space that has plenty of room for a large pool with an integrated spa. The back of the home has a wall of glass windows and sliders that allow for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The terrace has a built-in outdoor kitchen, dining space, multiple seating and lounging areas, and a custom architectural steel pergola. The pergola can be further customized with a glass, wood, steel, or fabric covering. Just as there is throughout the home, there are speakers that connect to the whole home smart automation system to play music.
