An extraordinary expression of bespoke luxury, this 6,050-square-foot masterpiece by Urban Building Solutions commands an A+ walkable location in the heart of North Hills. Timeless painted brick, cast stone lintels, rich walnut accents and statement lanterns create a striking architectural presence. A broad sweep of masonry steps leads to a dramatic arched glass-and-steel entry door, offering an unforgettable sense of arrival. Beyond the entry, graceful arches, curated lighting, expansive windows and engineered hardwoods create interiors that feel both grand and inviting. A brass-inlay floor detail distinguishes the foyer, while the private study is wrapped in handsome custom molding. Designed to impress, the family room showcases a soaring 12-foot beamed ceiling, stone fireplace surround and elegant arched built-ins. A custom wine room, enclosed by an arched glass-and-steel door and illuminated shelving, adds an intimate layer of sophistication. An expansive pocketing glass slider bathes the room in natural light and dissolves the boundary between indoors and out. The showpiece kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional, pairing ceiling-height painted and stained cabinetry with reeded accents, quartz countertops and an oversized center island. A professional 48-inch BlueStar range with double ovens and a built-in refrigerator and freezer complete the elevated appliance package. Created for seamless entertaining, the beautifully appointed scullery offers additional cabinetry, quartz countertops, a sink, refrigerator, microwave and secondary dishwasher. Surrounded by windows, the generous casual dining area is flooded with natural light and crowned by a richly detailed tongue-and-groove ceiling with decorative beams. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary, enhanced by beamed ceiling details and a dedicated coffee bar. Its spa-inspired bath evokes the ambiance of a luxury retreat with marble finishes, Kohler fixtures, dual vanities, a dedicated makeup area and a frameless glass steam shower with dual shower heads. A private guest suite offers exceptional flexibility and may also serve as an executive home office. Outdoor living rivals a five-star resort. The covered porch features Phantom screens and a fireplace overlooking the heated inground saltwater pool and spa, while a dedicated pool bath with a full shower adds effortless convenience for guests and year-round entertaining. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms are complemented by a dedicated children's study—ideal for homework, reading and creative pursuits—along with a media room, spacious bonus room, second laundry room and conditioned storage. A walk-up third floor offers even more flexibility and future possibilities. Additional features include custom laundry cabinetry and drying racks, first- and second-floor laundry rooms, a sealed and conditioned crawl space, open-cell spray foam insulation at the roof deck, two tankless water heaters and a three-car side-load garage. Flooded with natural light and appointed to the nines, this exceptional residence has been meticulously curated for a lifestyle of beauty, comfort and distinction.
