Home of the Week: A Stunning Soft Contemporary in Bluffview
Posted May 1st, 2013 | by Update Metro
~ 4610 Wildwood Road ~
Presenting a superlative and stunning soft contemporary home in a wooded setting created by the top-tier team of Bodron+Fruit Architecture, Mesa Landscape Design, and contractor Elite Homes by John & Stephen Hardy. Built to last generations and completed in 2009, there is thoughtful consideration given to the gorgeous materials that include Cottonwood limestone, mahogany and copper exteriors, rift cut white oak and Gasgone marble floors, and custom cabinetry built on site, combining with a sophisticated textured landscape and attention to environmental sensitivity.
The floor plan offers large open spaces with seamless connections to the exteriors yet feels warm and enveloping for the couple who commissioned it. The great room soars with a 14 foot height ceiling, featuring a marble-clad Rumford fireplace, giving views of nature through steel windows and leading to front and rear terraces through wide pocket doors.
A magnificent 5,000 volume library with floor to ceiling mill work provides a private and cozy setting.
The kitchen features elm-clad Bulthaup cabinets with custom inserts and an oversized corner window. Cleverly hidden behind a wall of cabinetry is a working pantry with added equipment and china storage. A spacious den, highlighted by a limestone fireplace surrounded by bookcases, allows room for the breakfast table and is open to the kitchen.
There is an easy transition to the pool and cabana by a wall of sliding glass doors through a mechanized screened terrace.
On the opposite wing, the ground level master bedroom also views the pool through eastern exposures. A limestone fireplace, hidden TV and an office tucked behind the bed wall complete the bedroom suite. The luxurious spa style master bath is clad with book-matched Calacatta slab marble, has heated floors, his and her WCs plus two spacious walk-in closets.
There are delightful outdoor amenities including a putting and chipping green, a saltwater infinity pool and spa, a mahogany lattice covered terrace, and a screened terrace with a fireplace. The glass-walled cabana features a full bath, kitchenette, and wall cabinets enclosing a pull-out desk and flat screen TV.
This one of a kind Bluffview property is not to be missed!
