Property size: This 9,088-square-foot home has five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two half-bathrooms in the main house and a full bathroom in the pool house. The 3.3-acre lot includes an outdoor swimming pool and attached climate-controlled four-car garage.
Unique features: Custom stained-glass doors? A bathroom that includes a steam shower with a waterproof TV? An outdoor swimming pool with a waterside fire pit?
This carefully designed all-brick Ruxton retreat has all of the above and more.
The foyer has marble floors with inlays, a curved grand staircase, decorative moldings and a statement chandelier, while the library is paneled floor-to-ceiling in wood.
Custom-designed stained glass doors in shades of cobalt, lilac, lime and orange create a unifying theme by repeating throughout this home.
The master bedroom suite has a dramatic tray ceiling that is recessed more than most, and the vast closet features a custom cabinet that would fit enough shoes to satisfy even former Filipino First Lady Imelda Marcos.
There are two laundry rooms, three fireplaces, two fire pits and two kitchens — one in the main estate and one in the pool house.
The lower level includes a state-of-the-art home gym that is large enough for the entire family to work out together, and the wet bar is equipped with separate wine storage.
The new owners will want to spend warm-weather months in or around the infinity pool. Two lounge chairs are submerged in the pool’s shallow end, making it easy to enjoy the bucolic views of hills and trees.
Upkeep of the 3-acre lot is aided by a professional irrigation system and landscape lighting.
