***OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY Dec 13th from 1-3PM*** Framed by panoramic wooded views and backing to 25 acres of protected parkland, this newly constructed Mid-Century Modern masterpiece, built by Foxhall Homes and designed by ElieBen Architecture, balances sophisticated design with livability, featuring a private Savaria Eclipse elevator and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The handcrafted Starburst double entry doors in flat-sawn white oak (locally made by Phirst and Lassing) defines the home’s signature aesthetic. Wide-plank white oak floors, rift-cut TruStile solid-core doors with Emtek hardware, and custom white oak millwork reinforce an organic modernist feel throughout. The heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen anchored by a 10-foot Cristallo Iceberg Quartzite island surrounded by custom rift-sawn white oak cabinetry. The culinary engine is a showpiece custom matte-black and satin-brass BlueStar 48” Nova RNB range paired with paneled 48” Jenn-Air refrigerator. The fully equipped butlers pantry with integrated under shelf lighting, wine refrigerator and sink serves as a discreet service area for effortless hosting and organized storage. Open living spaces are designed for presence and comfort. A sculptural ring chandelier with reeded glass panels floats above the gas fireplace. The vaulted family room, clad in Modern Mill ceiling accents, features a curved wet bar and direct access to the full-width bluestone covered terrace overlooking the serene parkland. The primary suite is a true sanctuary with expansive woodland views from the private balcony. The spa-inspired bath offers radiant-heated terrazzo floors, curbless two-person shower with thermostatic controls, six-foot solid-surface tub with Kallista filler, and floating rift-sawn white oak vanities illuminated by alabaster sconces from Visual Comfort. The daylight walk-out lower level impresses with nearly 10-foot ceilings, full-height windows, a wraparound bar, custom home gym, and premium finishes—ideal for media, entertaining, or overnight guests. Beyond stunning aesthetics, this home is engineered to last, exceeding building standards with superior materials: Huber ZIP System sheathing, Advantech subflooring, and Andersen 400 Series casement windows. The low-maintenance exterior combines Hardie Artisan and Modern Mill Acre composite siding with elegant Watsontown brick accents—built to look flawless for decades.
