This elegant townhouse was designed by an architect as his personal residence and is not like anything else I have ever seen! It is truly, one-of-a-kind.

With approximately 3650 square feet on four floors, it has luxuriously large spaces with lots of glass and an open contemporary feel. All the rooms are generously sized and have either high ceilings (10 foot in living room) or cathedral ceilings (20 ft. in master BR). Steel I-beam construction. It is surrounded on two sides by Japanese-style landscaping with many specimen plantings.

The entryway has a spectacular 17 step spiral staircase enclosed by a two story atrium leading to the upper level. The living room has a wall-to-wall brick wood-burning fireplace and glass doors opening onto a wraparound deck. The family room has a freestanding wood-burning fireplace, an 8 person Jacuzzi/hot tub, a bar, and sliding doors to a beautiful 18x18’sunken patio. The 18x20’ master bedroom has a mahogany cathedral ceiling and a spiral staircase leading to a clerestory loft with a TV/sitting area. There are two additional bedrooms,approximately 11x12 ft.and 11x15 ft. with cathedral ceilings and generous closets. The kitchen is bright with wraparound skylights and custom lighting. It has 43 cabinets/drawers, a Jenn-Air built-in counter-top grill, disposal, instant hot water, garbage compactor, and a gas stove. Refrigerator is included. The 2 1/2 baths are oversize and have quality fixtures (Willeroy & Boch).

Of course, the complex has two lovely pools (one heated, one natural) and lots of tennis courts and a clubhouse. A few steps away is a woodland path with a babbling brook.

Some less obvious features are:

* The area receives sunlight all day from sunrise in the master bedroom to sunset in the kitchen. Large trees shade most of it in the summer.

* Theres a lot of hidden extra storage space. The two car garage has extra width; there is a newly-finished utility/laundry room(w/d inc.) with storag
