About this home
A true masterpiece of design and old world craftsmanship. This world-class executive estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the most remarkable residences ever constructed in the region. From the moment you arrive at the wrought iron gates and follow the oval-shaped driveway to the impressive double doors of the front entryway, this home makes an unforgettable impression. Wrapped in natural dolomite stone with four polished balconies, the exterior speaks to timeless elegance, while the interiors blend grand scale with exquisite details. Step through the impressive entrance and into the magnificent Grand Foyer, where marble floors and twin double-helix spiral staircases set the tone for the home's architectural brilliance. Every inch of this 24-room estate has been thoughtfully designed to balance elegance with livability, creating an environment that is both breathtaking and welcoming. Offering 6 expansive bedrooms and 8 luxurious bathrooms, the residence ensures comfort and privacy for both family and guests. Each bedroom features a walk-in closet, while the dream master suite provides a personal sanctuary designed for rest and relaxation. The spa-inspired baths include 6 whirlpool tubs, 5 steam shower/saunas, a private spa and a dry sauna, turning everyday routines into indulgent rituals. Entertain with ease in the 30-seat banquet hall/ballroom, host wine tastings in the climate controlled wine cellar, or relax with a book in the richly appointed library. A mahogany art gallery and a private chapel offer unique spaces for reflection, creativity, and inspiration. The estate also features a fitness room, main floor laundry, and a security room, ensuring both convenience and peace of mind. For those who love to cook or entertain, this home offers two full gourmet kitchens, each designed to accommodate everything from intimate family dinners to large-scale events. Gather in style, surrounded by 33 Strauss crystal chandeliers-each adorned with 24-karot gold links-that illuminate the home with elegance and brilliance. Two fireplaces provide warmth and ambiance, while 4 independent HVAC systems, complete with dehumidifiers, allow for customized comfort throughout. Leisure and recreation abound in this estate. Take a swim in the indoor pool, enjoy a match on the tennis/basketball court, or retreat to the lower level where the walk-out basement provides additional above-grade living space and easy outdoor access. The 4-car garage offers ample room for vehicles and storage, while the gated entrances ensure privacy and security. This home is more than just a residence - it is a lifestyle. Whether hosting elegant galas, welcoming overnight guests, or simply enjoying quiet evenings at home, the estate offers a setting that is as versatile as it is stunning. The expansive rooms, soaring ceilings, and flowless finishes create an atmosphere of grandeur, while the thoughtful layout ensures comfort in everyday living. Few properties can match the scale, quality, and presence of this estate. It is a place where unforgettable memories are made, where every detail has been elevated to the highest standard, and where luxury is not only seen but experienced. For those seeking a home that redefines extraordinary, this estate stands alone as a true one-of-a-kind offering.
