The basics: Nearly 4,000 square feet; 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 1 half-bath
The story: The worlds of bright-hued elegance and artistic splendor seamlessly co-exist inside this two-story layout amid Victoria Park. Masterfully rendered lighting catches the eye throughout the home, including a dramatic fixture in the great room, hanging from a 20-foot-high ceiling, that’s composed of more than 30 illuminated metallic spheres. A sea of white permeates the clean-lined gourmet kitchen, which features two elongated islands with quartz countertops and towering custom Italian cabinetry. The upstairs master bedroom with walk-in closets leads to an oversized bathroom that recalls a world-class spa setting—complete with a lush “green” wall that fronts the soaking tub.
Bonus highlights: The estate operates through a voice system that activates lighting, blinds, the Sonos sound system—and even the shower in the master bath. The indoor-outdoor experience is enhanced by sliders in the great room that open to a private saltwater pool, a built-in barbecue and an expansive (and furnished) covered porch area. Exquisite pool and exterior lighting lends nighttime theatrics to outdoor entertaining.
