Custom Lamborghini walnut cabinetry, sculptural stone surfaces, integrated luxury appliances, and bespoke detailing create a centerpiece unlike anything else currently offered in residential real estate. Concealed beyond, a fully equipped chef’s kitchen provides professional functionality with a six burner range, double ovens, additional refrigeration, wine storage, prep spaces, and infrastructure designed to support entertaining at scale while preserving the beauty of the main living environment. The primary suite occupies its own private wing and was designed as a true retreat. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens directly to the outdoor living spaces and golf course beyond, while the suite itself includes a dedicated office, private gym, sophisticated spa-inspired bath with heated floors, an imported Italian soaking tub, outdoor shower, and fully customized dressing rooms featuring illuminated Italian cabinetry and integrated laundry. Every major living space was intentionally designed to engage with the outdoors. Multiple lounge spaces unfold throughout the residence alongside a secondary main level suite, media room, built-in office spaces, four air-conditioned garage bays, and a detached guest house and flex retreat offering additional accommodations, entertaining spaces, and complete independence for guests or extended stays. The outdoor environment rivals the interiors. Retractable shades fully enclose the expansive covered patio, transforming the space into a true open-air living room designed for year-round enjoyment. A full gourmet outdoor kitchen, oversized island seating, multiple lounge environments, fireplace gathering spaces, and a dramatic two-level pool design featuring a true lap pool create an experience that feels more private resort than residence. Modern conveniences including Savant home automation, integrated audio, built-in shades, and thoughtfully concealed technology complement the home's architectural vision while preserving its clean and sophisticated aesthetic.
