Ideally situated on a premier lane in one of Town & Country's most prestigious neighborhoods, this timeless estate, designed by Dick Busch and built by G. Terbock Luxury Homes, offers over 8,000 square feet of refined living space, including 6 bedrooms, 7 full baths, 3 half baths, a 4-car garage, and a porte-cochere, all nestled on spectacular park-like grounds. The grand foyer is highlighted by a sweeping staircase with custom wrought-iron balusters and beautifully hand-carved newel posts, and by a stunning two-story leaded-glass window that creates a breathtaking first impression. The handsome executive office is wrapped in custom hardwood paneling and distinguished by floor-to-ceiling built-ins, decorative fluted pilasters, extensive cabinetry, display shelving, and exquisite architectural detailing, while the formal dining room is enhanced by exquisite crown molding and a decorative ceiling medallion. The impressive living room features a mantel imported from France, a charming grand piano alcove, and walls of windows and French doors opening to the main-level terrace. Adjacent is a beautifully appointed bar with a striking copper ceiling, a wine cooler, and a temperature-controlled wine room. The chef's kitchen is thoughtfully designed with custom cabinetry, a 9-foot center island, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, DCS ovens, a butler's pantry with a dishwasher, and an additional pantry with a freezer. The sun-filled breakfast room flows seamlessly into the inviting hearth room, complete with a stone fireplace and a handsome wood-paneled ceiling. A custom mudroom with built-in lockers, abundant storage, and direct exterior access leads to the 4-car garage, with a private guest suite above. The luxurious main-level primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a dramatic groin-vaulted ceiling with decorative crown molding, an elevated sitting room framed by arched windows, dual custom walk-in closets, and an exquisite marble bath with a soaking tub, an oversized shower, dual vanities, and a private pantry with a refrigerator.

Designed for recreation and entertaining, the walk-out lower level includes a spacious family room with a cast-stone fireplace, a separate sitting area, a golf simulator, a fitness room, a full bar, an additional bedroom with an en-suite bath, and an additional full bath conveniently located for pool guests. Outdoor living is equally exceptional, featuring a saltwater pool surrounded by lush, professionally landscaped grounds that create a private, resort-like setting. Additional amenities include cherry hardwood and travertine flooring throughout, a whole-house programmable smart home system for security, lighting, and audio, zoned HVAC, an irrigation system, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout.
