Is this Bunker Hill, or Beverly Hills?
Witness this recent construction, brick-clad stunner which has been updated to sparkle and shine, sitting on a large lot on a sleepy cul sac.
Experience with all your senses a comfortably elegant home that would be at home in the Hills of Beverly or the Hill of Bunker.
From the center Hall, via glimmering, recently refinished hardwoods, are spacious, sun-filled rooms with four fireplaces.
To the right of the Entry is the block paneled Library painted a warm grey blue. Within we have hardwood floors, artful millwork, and a wood burning fireplace equipped with gas logs.
The Library, with its view of the Front Yard, offers privacy, peace, and streaming light.
To the left of the Entry is the Dining Room featuring double crown moulding, hardwood floors, and a wood burning fireplace equipped with gas log--perfect for some creating dessert S'mores!
Dine in comfort and style! 
Elegant, timeless, and an inspired space to create inspired meals is the Kitchen. Within we have: a gas Range; Oven; Oven/Microwave combination; Butler's Pantry; a giant step-in Pantry; and miles and miles of countertops.
The Kitchen upper cabinets are lighted and feature glass paned doors so that you can display your treasures. Also within this space are a 'Sonic' ice machine, recent Monogram side-by-side Refrigerator, drawer-style Microwave, and updated cabinet lighting.
The Kitchen features a Shaw's porcelain, apron front Farm Sink and recently updated hardware.
The Kitchen is also open to the Breakfast Area, as well as the Den.
Spacious, yet gracious, is this large open space just off the Kitchen. To the left of frame is a Breakfast Bar that seats a bunch!
In the bay is the Breakfast Room featuring a custom light fixture, triple crown moulding, and a view of the Back Yard.
The Den is open to the Kitchen featuring a custom stone Mantel, Surround, and Hearth that frame the wood burning fireplace equipped with gas logs.
One of the many fascinating attributes of this home is the attention to detail: unexpected luxuries in unexpected places. Here we have a Country Laundry/Mud Room with custom cabinetry; tin ceiling; floating shelves; and a hand-finished, industrial-strength, concrete floor.
The Country Laundry/Mud Room could also function as prep space, or potting shed, or...well, the possibilities are endless!
Beyond the Country Laundry/Mud Room is the beautifully appointed Pool Bath with custom cabinetry, a custom shower door, quartz counters, and glittering tile all around. The door is a French antique from Joyce Horn.
Living in peaceful Memorial, citizens here take advantage of their outdoor spaces. This 20,000+ square foot lot offers all sorts of outdoor amenities, including a covered Terrace with Italian mosaic-style, shell patterned tile on the floor.
Inside, outside, and all around are beautiful views.
The Terrace.
For lounging or for lapping, this heated pool is perfection. Recently re-plastered and re-tiled, there is nothing left here to do but enjoy!
At the far end of the Terrace is a covered space to grill, watch TV, or take a cold plunge.
The Pool.
Beyond the Pool is ample greenspace for Kids, Pets, or a Putting Green.
There is little more delectable than home-grown veggies. Here is a custom designed Garden where you can grow your own! Just beyond the Garden is a whole house, natural gas-fired Generator so, in the event of a power outage, you don't have to eat your veggies in the dark!
Back inside is the Great Room. Through a wall of French door-style windows with Palladian-style transoms is a wonderful view of your Back Yard.
This large room is long on comfort. Here we have intricate mouldings, including finger-style and dentil mouldings, plus a delicate Mantle framing a wood burning, gas log fireplace.
The Great Room.
Ravishing and cloistered is the über serene and luxurious Master Suite. Walls are swathed with Diamond Brite custom plaster, as is the vaulted ceiling above. Access to the Pool is through a set of French Doors.
Beneath your feet is plush, yet ultra durable commercial grade Carpet. Above your head, offering soft light to the space, is a Livingston chandelier.
Walking through the antique door--from Joyce Horn--you are magically transported to a stunning space that is both luxurious and practical. The Master Bath and Closet were taken to the studs and methodically recomposed to create this truly breathtaking place.
Custom cabinetry with quartz Counters; custom built-ins for your clothing; and a large, quartz-topped Packing Station all speak of sophistication and practicality.
From the Diamond Brite plaster wall finish, to the cement tiles on the floor, to the book matched solid sheet marble slabs that comprise the Shower, there are so many touches within that are truly unduplicatable.
Le piece de resistance is a solid marble Soaking Tub with vintage-style plumbing hardware and a deco-style, antique Murano crystal chandelier above.
This is how you make your clothes feel special!
Completing the First Floor is the updated Powder Bath with custom counter, floating Vanity with a hammered stainless Sink, and custom hardware. For your comfort: a Toto Washlet Commode.
Back to the Entry we go! Shall we go upstairs?
Like something out of a dream, we see the Entry from the Second Floor Balcony. Note the gorgeous, dark-stained stair treads all the way up.
At the top of the stairs is a large Game Room with a wall of cabinets and room for a Pool Table or another play equipment. The industrial grade carpet insures what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
The Game Room has a vaulted ceiling with accent lights that rim the perimeter.
Each Guest Suite is unique and extraordinary. Here we have a large Suite with crown moulding, industrial grade carpet, a walk-in Closet and...
...a chicly updated private Bath with ebony quartz counters, and tile surround, plus a brilliantly pattered complimentary tile on the floor.
Another generous Guest Suite also features industrial grade carpet, double crown moulding, a walk-in Closet, and...
...another artfully updated Bath.
At the end of the hall is another Guest Suite, that could be a second Master Suite. This noble space features a large Bed Chamber...
...an updated Bath with oversized Shower and custom Vanity...
...plus a Sitting Room. Your honored guests will be so comfortable they will never want to leave!
If you are a Costco devotee, or a lover of accessible storage, the Upstairs Utility Room is just the space for you!
Besides ample storage there is room for a second Washer and Dryer.Is this Bunker Hill, or Beverly Hills?
