Description

Luxurious estate living in Cheston-on-Wye, among large estates on deep water navigable Quarter Creek at the mouth of the Wye River! Set back off a one-way-in, one-way-out quiet countryside road on sprawling prized acreage is this 4 bedroom 5 ½ bath contemporary charmer beautifully sited on navigable Quarter Creek.

The Dining Room stuns to the right delineated by columns and adjacent to the plant/sunroom which includes an impressive 9-foot French door that opens to a courtyard currently planted with herbs convenient to the kitchen and mulched to join the foundation gardens surrounding the front of the house. The open floor plan flows beautifully with the entire rear of the home complimented with 8’ glass double French doors leading out to screen porches, a garden terraced area with a water feature, and the water view beyond. A combination of porcelain tile, bamboo and cork flooring leads you through a Living Room and Family Room area divided by a large wet bar banked by a 3-sided gas fireplace. In addition to recessed lighting, significant lighting fixtures throughout the main living area feature strikingly contemporary glass pendants, wall sconces, as well as a modern hand-cut crystal fixture over the dining room table. Contemporary lighted ceiling fans grace every space.

The bedroom is centered by a limestone bed wall tastefully trellised to the far wall connecting to the bathroom. All blends beautifully with soft carpeting. Entering through another set of double pocket doors beyond the bed wall brings you into a purely luxurious bath and dressing room. Another dropped ceiling is a focal point with contemporary lighting fixtures centered over a 2-person cabinet-surrounded air jet tub flanked by a stunning limestone/glass block wall. Separate vanities feature dual-level granite countertops with a centered glass vessel atop wall-mounted cabinetry. The porcelain tiled bathroom floor is heated to keep that winter-time cold floor chill away complete with a controller that can be timer programmed. The bathroom window is exposed to wonderful morning light which radiates through the glass wall(s). To complete the suite is an oversized Dressing Room utilizing a contemporary custom designed rod, shelving, and drawer system and also includes an under-counter refrigerator and a lighted 3-way mirror.

The upper level (and lower level) living area is accessed by a solid maple open stairwell decorated with a custom stainless railing system designed by Shawn Afsharjavan of AR2 Design Studios which elevates you to space that includes a live-in guest suite featuring a kitchenette with a dishwasher, under-counter refrigerator with ice maker and sink with RO dispensed drinking water. A cork floor delineates the kitchen and eat-in area with French doors leading out to a deck overviewing the rear of the property and a stunning view of the creek. The space includes two separate closets, custom window treatments, lighted ceiling fan, and pull-down access to an attic area which houses one of three soft start forced air handlers feeding the guest suite as a separate zone. Audio/video is captured here as well with in-the-wall wiring for TV, and a keypad for piped-in music from the whole-house audio system. The adjoining bath has separate granite-topped vanities and porcelain ceramic tile floor and floor-to-ceiling tiled shower with a glass enclosure and door.

Exiting the guest suite at the top of the stairwell is a fourth full bath that walks through to a third bedroom or what is currently utilized as a large office space complete with French doors to an outside trellised deck. This space has a large storage closet with an 2/3 door opening to attic area. This room also walks through a fifth full bath (also with a sun-tunnel skylight) with double vanities that is shared with a 4th bedroom in the front of the house including a walk-in closet that walks through to a separate cedar closet beyond. All bedrooms are outfitted with soft plush carpeting and baths all include the same porcelain ceramic tile on the floors and showers (all tiled showers tiled to the ceiling).

Descending the stairwell to the lower level deposits you into a large, finished space currently utilized as a workout room complete with its own half bath, corked floor, and ceiling fan.
The main level outdoor living area in the rear of the home includes two large water-side screened porches finished in EIFS stucco with screens mounted between tall columns providing 10’ high ceilings. The two porches are joined by a large, trellised terrace area. Large natural stone steps wind down to a patio area at the bottom of the terraced gardens beautifully outfitted with a stacked stone wall with lighting bordering the steps and patio, and a trellised walkout into the back yard toward the water.
