Stacie Giroux
Ideally positioned in sought-after Braes Heights, this traditional family home welcomes visitors with open arms. 
The outdoor entertaining areas, recently added by the sellers, cannot possibly be beat: a summer kitchen off the family room leads down to a massive outdoor living area anchored by a double-sided fireplace, then down to the gorgeous heated pool and spa, complete with a contemporary gas fireplace. Luxury redefined.
The impeccably designed outdoor living area invites your family and friends to enjoy the great outdoors year-round. Designer tilework, a double-sided gas fireplace, and wide open spaces combine to maximize the backyard space with elegance. 
Entering from the elegant two-story grand entry foyer, symmetrical arches frame a lovely formal dining room opposite from the formal study or traditional sitting room. Engineered hardwood flooring throughout the property complement abundant natural light, adding warmth and charm to this exquisite home. Both the formal areas feature stunning coffered ceilings that present beautifully to make an unforgettable first impression.
The formal study is open and inviting, flexing easily to accommodate your family's needs. Wooden plantation shutters throughout the home allow plenty of natural light to stream in while also affording residents privacy. A chandelier outlet in the center of the coffered ceiling allows you to make a personal statement and delineate the space as you wish.
The formal dining room is flooded in natural light and large enough to accommodate any dining table. Located off a formal bar area leading into the kitchen, the dining room features coffered ceilings and a gorgeous chandelier, as well as a wall of windows overlooking the park-like front yard. 
The dining room is large enough to host expansive holiday festivities and has easy access to the spacious chef's kitchen. The table shown here can comfortable seat 8-10 guests and there is plenty of room remaining for china hutches and sideboards.
The spacious butler's pantry and formal bar area between the dining room and the kitchen features both an ice-maker and a high-end wine chiller, as well as glass cabinets to display crystal and spirits. Undercabinet lighting highlights quartz countertops and a mirrored backsplash enlarges and adds a sense of refinement to the space.
Entering the kitchen from the formal bar and butler's pantry (opposite a large, walk-in pantry - not shown), the exquisite gourmet chef's kitchen features integrated stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and custom cabinetry. The floorplan highlights the kitchen as the heart of the home and devotes attention to aesthetics and comfort accordingly. Counter-height seating extends the full length of the massive kitchen island, and an apron-front undermount sink ensures cleaning is a bre
The well-appointed kitchen is equipped with luxury-grade appliances, including a 6-burner gas range with griddle, commercial-grade exhaust vent, built-in refrigerator, and double ovens.
Note the transom windows flanking the stovetop, the full travertine backsplash, and the clean architectural lines of the kitchen. Any family member or guest would feel surrounded in comfort and luxury to be dining or working at the central kitchen island while the family's chef is prepping meals.
The expansive chef's kitchen opens seamlessly into the main living area, which continues the symmetrical theme of the home's architecture.
A marble-encased gas fireplace anchors the family room, flanked by symmetrical built-in cabinetry and glass shelving to display your family's treasures. Built-in speakers make entertaining in style effortless, and custom millwork adds a charming ambience to the central common area of the home.
The breakfast room or sunroom off the family room and kitchen was added just a few years ago and will delight any sleepyhead, starting their day off with beautiful views of the resort-style backyard.
Framed by custom vintage millwork, painted tin ceilings, and shiplap and painted brick walls, the sunroom is enough to accommodate a full size dining table and opens up to the summer kitchen outside. Motorized remote-controlled shades allow you to control the natural light coming in with stylish ease.
The primary bedroom on the first floor is conveniently located of the family room and features a walk-in closet and a large en-suite bathroom. A tiered tray ceiling frames this owner's retreat in elegance, and a wall of windows overlooking the backyard offers gorgeous views by day and night.
The spa-worthy primary bath features a marble-encased soaking tub and separate shower, separate vanities, and a built-in makeup counter complete with desk seating. Separate walk-in closets (not shown) and built-in speakers ensure the homeowners have plenty of space and serenity while preparing for or unwinding from a busy day.

The powder room is located between the entry foyer and the family area and welcomes guest with luxurious marble counters, brass swan fixtures, and an elegant royal blue color palette.
The staircase off the grand foyer leads you to the second floor, featuring a large open game room and three secondary bedrooms.
Opening to the two-story foyer so as not to isolate family and friends relaxing upstairs from the rest of the household, the large, vaulted game room is the perfect space to host movie nights or game nights with family and friends. Note that the engineered hardwood floors continue throughout the second story.
The secondary bedroom located at the top of staircase overlooks the treetop views of the front yard and features engineered hardwood floors, a Hollywood bath, walk-in closet, recessed lighting, and ceiling fan..
The Hollywood bath between two of the upstairs bedrooms features granite counters with undermount sinks and built-in medicine cabinets over twin vanities. A shower/tub combo and water closet is located through a separate door for privacy. 
The second of the three bedrooms upstairs on the other side of the Hollywood bath offers abundant natural light and is currently used as a work space.
The guest bedroom upstairs features an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Ideal for short-term guests and family that requires more privacy, this bedroom is closest to the game room and overlooks the trees of the park-like front yard. 
The en-suite guest bath upstairs offers a clean white-on-white design featuring quartz countertops and oval-shaped penny tile flooring. 
As we head back downstairs to the outdoor entertainment space, note the architectural brilliance of the game room's location, offering a designated leisure space without isolating friends and family.
Just off the sunroom, an inviting summer kitchen features a built-in gas grill, leather-finish stone countertops, and abundant storage, as well as plenty of space for an outdoor dining room set overlooking the covered living area below and the gorgeous pool beyond.
The covered terrace can be easily accessed via the summer kitchen off the main living area (right) or the mud room (left). Large enough to accommodate even the most substantial outdoor living set, this outdoor entertaining area is sure to be your family's favorite lounge.

Steps down on either side of the fireplace lead to the pool, with the garage located at the far side of the property.
The heated pool and hot tub are surrounded in quartz tilework, offering low-maintenance refinement. A large lounging area making up the first step in the pool is ideal for playing with little ones or staying cool in the water while lounging. 
This perspective highlights the perfect symmetry of the outdoor area's design, brilliantly executed to bring the owners' visions for serenity to life.
Bird's eye view on the sprawling outdoor living area. So perfectly designed and executed, it is difficult to believe this is not an artistic rendering, but it is indeed real.
