This is a beautiful customized home of brick, stone and marble designed & crafted by award-winning artist David Ellison and set on a premium 1.5-acre lot in a protected wooded area in the desirable Upper Glade neighborhood. The level of architectural detail and craftsmanship in the home are unsurpassed. The circle drive from the quiet cul-de-sac welcomes you with a view of the beautiful brick courtyard with stone porch, and 8-foot mahogany door entry. Brazilian cherry floors on main level accent a stunning great room, with a 2-story coffered ceiling & dramatic floor-to-ceiling Jerusalem stone fireplace, and multiple French doors opening to covered rear deck. The formal dining room, study, or music room has rich cherry paneling with a wall of windows up to the cathedral 2-story ceiling. The gourmet kitchen is highlighted by an elegant marble center island and striking overhead wrought iron chandelier, custom cherry cabinets, and granite countertops, and a ceiling capped with handcrafted ornamental crown. The cozy sundrenched family room with a travertine stone wall features a carved bas relief pattern fireplace, 2 walls of windows & easy access to the covered rear deck with inviting eating/lounging area, overlooking the private backyard and wooded common area. The 1st floor primary suite is a tranquil sanctuary that includes a sitting area, vaulted hallway leading to master bath, arched marble fireplace, 2 walk-in closets, and access to the covered rear deck with picturesque views of the outdoors. The master bathroom is extraordinary showcasing a vaulted walk-in shower, a jacuzzi surrounded by onyx, heated marble floor, and intricate carved stone accents and pillars. There is a convenient laundry room near the primary bathroom. The stone workmanship in the 1st floor powder room and mud room entrance from the garage is particularly unique in their finishing. A custom crafted stairway leads to a 2nd floor with 3 bedrooms, one ensuite, and the other two sharing a buddy bath, plus a huge, finished bonus room. The tall ceilings and a rear wall of windows and French doors to patio in the walkout lower level open into an expansive and lush back lawn. It has been well planned for future finishing with radiant heated floors and roughed-in plumbing for bath, wet bar, and bedroom. A large 4.5 car garage with an epoxy floor has 2-sided access for convenience. This is an incredibly special home that must be seen in its totality to truly appreciate its artistry and breathtaking elements in each and every room of the home.
