Discover unparalleled luxury living at its finest in this stunning residence in Thurston Groves. Rarely does a home come on the market in this highly sought after neighborhood! Nestled on a serene water view lot and surrounded by mature trees, this home offers both beauty and tranquility from the moment you arrive. A welcoming courtyard leads you to the entrance of the home with impressive front doors handcrafted locally. The ironwork that accents the front doors sets the tone for the interior space where you will find ironwork inset into several windows. When this home was built the owners worked closely with a local antiques dealer and master craftsman to add handcrafted and antique touches to the home making it truly unique and one of a kind. The heart of the home is the chef's dream kitchen-complete with custom pine crafted cabinetry, granite counter tops, and premium finishes. The door to the kitchen pantry is an antique imported from the Netherlands boasting iron bars and textured glass which allows the light to shine through while simultaneously obscuring the contents of the pantry. The door was originally used as the entrance to an apothecary in Amsterdam. The same craftsman fabricated both of the fireplace mantles using antique pine beams. The over-door piece at the entrance to the media room was originally an antique fireplace surround from Europe. The height was modified using antique pine boards. This is an example of the exceptional attention to detail that elevates everyday living. The open floor plan showcases the kitchen flowing easily into the living room boasting a fireplace, stunning water views and door leading to the pool. The dining room is adjacent to the butler's pantry complete with wine fridge. Just off the living room step into the dedicated media room designed for an elevated cinematic experience in the comfort of your own home.
