This remarkable 6BR/5.5BA custom home--designed with distinction and built to accommodate mother-in-law suites or private retreats within one residence. With three fully-functional levels connected by a steel-framed floating staircase encased in a glass atrium, every floor offers its own kitchen, living area, bedroom and bath, creating versatility rarely found in Southdown. This one must be experienced in person. The main level offers 3,554 sq ft of living space. A stately foyer welcomes you with slate floors and brick archways, flowing effortlessly into the formal dining room with tray ceiling, heart of pine flooring, granite-top wet bar and wine fridge. The chef's kitchen is equipped with a built-in refrigerator/freezer, double ovens, warming drawer, 5-burner gas cooktop, microwave, dishwasher and beverage cooler--surrounded by cypress cabinetry, granite counters, beadboard ceiling and brick masonry accents. The living room centers around a brick wood-burning fireplace, complemented by large windows, slate flooring, pecky cypress walls and exposed beams. The primary suite offers a true retreat with a private balcony, spa-style bathroom with wet room shower, jacuzzi tub and walk-in closet. The 1,847 sq ft ground floor features an updated kitchen, full bath, home gym with sauna, media room with fireplace and a dedicated office--opening directly to a private courtyard with water feature, ideal for gatherings or quiet relaxation. The unique feature for this ground level is that the slab for the upper level is held up by the exterior walls/pliers only, so all the interior walls on the lower ground level are non-bearing walls, which can easily turn into one large area. The 1,355 sq ft third-floor apartment offers its own full kitchen, living room, laundry, bedroom and bath--perfect for extended guests or independent living. Set on .64 acres with mature landscaping, a stunning live oak, full fencing and a whole-house generator.
