Description

Exceptional in every way! A true one of a kind, custom-built home by the original owner, builder Gary Paris, who brought a slice of a Montana Rustic Lodge to the area. A former Parade home in 2007, this magnificent estate boasts almost 6200 sq ft of living space, a 35' water fall in the middle of the living space, Redwood columns, 8" cherry plank flooring and a cutting-edge wide-open design. This architectural masterpiece boasts soaring ceilings, expansive rooms, custom woodworking and staircase, a loft, a media room with wet-bar, and a recently finished lower level all on 5 acres with a resort-like backyard guaranteed to keep the party at your house. The saltwater, heated inground pool was installed by Sunco. The surrounding hard scape, brick fireplace and outdoor kitchen (which offers a refrigerator, icemaker, grill, Sapphire brand smoker, storage, and a retractable sun shade) is beautifully designed and private with a tree-lined rear yard. The chef's kitchen with Cherry cabinets, two sinks, limestone counters, and a huge center island is open to the main floor ensuring the chef is always part of the activity. The main level primary suite offers access to a second back balcony and its bathroom has a sauna attached to the large walk-in shower, a whirlpool tub, a walk-in closet and the addition of a second walk-in closet which was originally a third bedroom on the main level. All with custom cherry cabinetry and a center island! The second bedroom on the main level offers a walk-in closet, a private bath and sliding doors to the covered deck. Two more bedrooms with walk-in closets, and a Jack-N-Jill bath were added to the partially exposed lower level. That level also has a media room, work-out room with sliding glass barn doors, office area, powder room and wine cellar with a solid steel door (originally a bank safe) and separate access to the garage. The second level offers a gigantic loft which overlooks the living space and eat-in kitchen dining area and a bonus room over the 3-car garage that is currently being used as a theater/billiard room with a wet-bar. The main level has a newer custom fireplace and built-ins the current owner had designed, built, and installed by Ron Beard. A new roof and new gutters on the home were installed in 2021. A whole house generator, an on-demand water heater, a newer air-conditioning unit, a reverse osmosis system for the center island sink and water fall. This home is a WOW!
