Welcome to Vezelay--where residents enjoy the prestige and security of a gated community and reside in comfort, luxury and the exclusivity of only 40 homes. This 4,253 sq ft gem, complete with a white picket fence, takes beauty and pride of ownership to a whole new level. From the grand circular foyer to the backyard retreat, the home feels warm, open, and inviting. The kitchen is a culinary masterpiece and offers a generous amount of island and counter space, rich grained cabinetry and under cabinetry lighting that adds to the ambiance. The real gems are the 6-burner gas cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, and stainless steel Wolf microwave, refrigerator and double ovens (one of which has never been used). Conveniently between the kitchen and formal dining room are the spacious walk-in pantry and butler’s pantry with a wine fridge and add’l counter space and cabinetry. A built-in workspace is on the other end, along with a nook that overlooks the tranquil sparkling pool and mature greenery. The sprawling kitchen opens into the family room, complete with a rich stone fireplace with raised hearth, media niche and sleek new ceiling fan. Multiple French doors lead to the spacious center open-air courtyard, complete with a soothing fountain, classic pavers and flowing shades to allow for coverage as needed. The luxurious primary suite is tucked in the corner on the first floor and includes a boutique style walk-in closet, dual marble-topped vanities, luxurious soaking tub and tiled walk-in shower. This serene bedroom offers a view of the lush backyard retreat. An additional front-facing bedroom with full bathroom is downstairs and also ideal for an office. The dramatic spiral staircase leads to two bedrooms, both w/their own full bathroom and beautiful view. In addition to 4 bathrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms, living and family room, this dream home offers a cozy second floor library and open concept office space – both of which can be an array of other options and can even be turned into bedrooms.
