SPOTLIGHT: A MODERN RETREAT

BY ELIZABETH LIBERATORE

Find calm, restoration, and balance in this Lor Villa Estates home, boasting four bedrooms and five full bathrooms. The 5,898-square-foot dwelling, built in 2019, offers a split floor plan, architectural interest at every turn and high-end finishes.

The exterior makes a lasting first impression, with white brick accented against a black tile roof, large windows around the property and a semicircle driveway for a bold yet inviting presence.

The senses continue to delight indoors. A black and white tray ceiling with recessed lighting packs an impactful punch in the entryway and sets the tone for the rest of the home. Black details set against neutral, organic hues play out in communal spaces, like the formal dining and living rooms. In the dining room, there’s a built-in cabinet and black floor-to-ceiling doors for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining.

Further down the hall is the living room, where exposed beam ceilings draw the eye up and then directly over to the open-concept kitchen. Here, a massive black marble island anchors the light, bright space. Black and white hexagon flooring gives the kitchen a retro market feel, all complimented by minimalist hardware and top-of-the-line appliances. A butler's pantry sits around the corner from the kitchen and includes a farmhouse sink, wine cooler, and extra shelving and countertops.

Open, airy and spacious perfectly describes each of the four bedrooms and office. However, special attention must be paid to the master suite, particularly its spa-like bathroom. Large vanities with generous-sized sinks sit on either side of the master bath, with a freestanding tub and walk-in shower at either end of the room.

Another highlight includes the spacious laundry room, which has a pet washing station, and a custom-built walk-in closet right off the laundry room.

The idyllic outdoor living space has a built-in kitchen, multiple gathering spots, a pool and spa, and picturesque views of the surrounding mountains.
